Seychelles Island Hopper
Four islands. One cleverly connected Seychelles trip.
The Seychelles isn’t just one island with a few beach variations. It is an archipelago of granite islets, coral-blue shallows, forested hills, tiny capitals, sleepy lanes, and beaches where the boulders look as if they were arranged by a set designer with a very generous budget. This island-hopping trip gives you a fuller feel for the country without turning the holiday into a logistics project. Ferries connect the islands, so you travel by sea, with proper views along the way, rather than disappearing into another airport queue. You can keep the route close to this version, or tailor the number of nights to suit how much time you want to spend swimming, walking, cycling, or doing very little indeed.
From £4,599 - £4,999 per person

Highlights of trip
Travelling on two wheels is a great way to see La Digue. You’ll be able to explore the island at your own pace and experience a quieter, more authentic way of life and stop in at some of the main attractions as you explore. Highlights include the L’Union Estate, the resting place of early island settlers and the Instagram-famous Source D’Argent which is renowned for its blue seas, white sands and granite boulders. • Duration: full day • Daily departures from Praslin / Departs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Mahe • Operates year round from hotels in Mahe or Praslin • Private experience Good to know Not suitable for guests with mobility issues. The return ferry trip between Mahe or Praslin, a map of the island and entrance fees to L’Union Estate are included.

Mahé
Mahé is the best place to begin because it’s where you fly into. It is the largest island and home to Victoria, one of the world’s smallest capitals, with mountain roads, coastal viewpoints, market stalls, botanical gardens, and coves tucked between thick green slopes. Two nights gives you time to ease into your holiday before the island-hopping begins properly. This opening stay sets up the rest of the trip well because you start with the main island’s scale, convenience, and variety, then move on to smaller places where the beaches, forests, and ferry landings feel more tucked away.

Silhouette Island
Next, take the ferry to Silhouette Island, which usually takes around 45 minutes. It is a useful little sea reset between islands: long enough to feel like you are going somewhere different, not so long that it becomes the day’s main event. Silhouette is wilder than Mahé, with steep, forested mountains rising behind the beach, much of the island is protected, and the small historic village of La Passe offers a glimpse of older island life. Three nights here give you time to settle. Silhouette suits walking, beach time, snorkelling, and quiet days shaped by the landscape around you. After Mahé’s bigger-island variety, this part of the trip gives you fewer distractions, more greenery, and a real sense of being wrapped up in the natural side of the Seychelles.
This all-villa island paradise has a privileged position within a national marine park.
Praslin
From Silhouette, you travel back via Mahé, then continue by ferry to Praslin, with the onward crossing taking around one hour and 15 minutes. Praslin is the second-largest island in the Seychelles, but it feels gentler than Mahé and gives you some of the country’s most distinctive scenery. This is the island where you’ll find those granite rocks, clear shallows, and the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO-listed palm forest where the coco de mer grows. Its huge double coconut is the largest seed in the plant world, which sounds like a pub quiz answer, but looks far more impressive in real life. Two nights on Praslin adds a nature-led middle chapter to the trip. You have time to see one of the Seychelles’ most famous natural sights, spend time by the coast, and get a feel for an island that sits neatly between Mahé’s convenience and La Digue’s slower village feel.

La Digue
The final move is the easiest, with a short ferry from Praslin to La Digue that takes around 15 minutes. La Digue is smaller, slower, and wonderfully simple to get around. Bicycles are the main way to travel, village life still feels close, and the beaches are framed by the huge rounded granite boulders the Seychelles is known for. Three nights give you proper time on La Digue. An included cycling experience adds a lovely sense of freedom to the final few days. Pedal between beaches, pause for a swim, stop for a drink, and carry on when you’re ready. After Mahé’s variety, Silhouette’s protected wilderness, and Praslin’s palm forests, La Digue brings the trip down to something pleasingly simple: two wheels, warm air, quiet lanes, and some of the most recognisable coastal scenery in the Indian Ocean.
This intimate, elegant retreat blends rustic-chic with contemporary style and is perfect for couples.
