Mauritius & the Seychelles

Ten nights across the Indian Ocean: barefoot lagoon days on Mauritius, then the granite coves of the Seychelles.

Shape This Journey See the Day by Day

Two of the Indian Ocean's loveliest islands, one unhurried journey. We open on Mauritius, with its calm lagoons and polished resorts, then take a short flight north to the Seychelles, where the beaches turn to pale sand and weathered granite.

Read it for the rhythm rather than as a fixed departure. Every part is ours to reshape: the balance of nights, the hotels, the experiences. Browse more on Mauritius and the Seychelles, or shape this one below.

The journey

Day by day.

A gentle arc from the lagoons of Mauritius to the granite coves of the Seychelles. The nights and stays below are a guide; we reshape every part of it around you.

Day 1 · Mauritius

Arrival, and the first lagoon evening

You land on Mauritius and slip straight into the pace of the island. A private transfer carries you to Belle Mare on the calm east coast, where you settle into your suite and do very little: a swim, a slow dinner by the water, the lagoon turning to glass as the light goes.

Days 2 – 3 · The east coast

Belle Mare, at its own pace

Two unhurried days on one of the island's finest stretches of sand. Snorkel the lagoon, drift between the pool and the beach, and let the meals run long. If you would like a little more, we add a morning of golf or a quiet wander up the coast.

Day 4 · The south west

Le Morne and the wild side

A day with the island's dramatic edge. We arrange a private guide to Le Morne Brabant, the great basalt monolith over the lagoon, with the option of a helicopter over the famous underwater-waterfall illusion. Afternoons here are for the warm, clear water of the west.

Day 5 · On the water

A day out on the lagoon

Your own crewed catamaran for the day, anchoring off the quieter reefs for swims, snorkelling with green turtles and lunch on deck. A last golden evening on Mauritius before the short hop north tomorrow.

Days 6 – 7 · Mahé

Into the Seychelles

A short flight carries you to the Seychelles, and the landscape shifts: forested hills, weathered granite and beaches that feel barely touched. You settle above a quiet bay on Mahé, with time for the island's loveliest beaches and a long, slow dinner under the trees.

Days 8 – 9 · A private island

Off to your own island

A boat or short flight to a private island, where the days are entirely your own: granite coves reached on foot, snorkelling straight off the rocks, a sandbank picnic for two and nothing on the agenda but the tide. This is the heart of the trip.

Day 10 · The Seychelles

A last morning, then home

A final slow breakfast above the water, a last swim and a gentle return to the world. We arrange your transfers and timings so the journey home feels as seamless as everything before it, with the option of a short stopover to break the trip.
