THE BEST RESORTS IN THE SEYCHELLES

Despite their diminutive size there’s a surprisingly large array of activities on the islands of the Seychelles. Red Savannah’s regional expert explains that the key to a successful Seychelles holiday is matching the island and resort to your personal preferences, whether you’re simply after a beautiful beach to relax on or a culturally enriching experience. The Seychelles consist of the ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ islands; broadly speaking the inner islands are verdant, hilly and more populated, whereas the outer islands are flatter, untouched hideaways. However, with 115 islands the choice can soon become overwhelming.

North Island
Best Seychelles resort for extravagant honeymooners

Eleven private villas set among towering palm trees and just steps away from the pristine white beaches, which are some of the world’s best. Opt for Villa 11 for ultimate comfort and luxury. The island is dotted with romantic hideaways including a forest retreat engulfed by trees or the aptly named Honeymoon Beach.

Denis Private Island
Best Seychelles resort for relaxed honeymooners

Twenty-five cottages all with sea views, we recommend opting for a ‘Beach Villa’ with its own plunge pool. Firm conservationists, the team is dedicated to a self-sufficient existence – the resort uses wood from its own forest, water from natural sources and vegetables, fruit, milk, cheese and meat cultivated on the island.

Fregate Island
Best Seychelles resort for foodies

Located on its own island, with 16 Pool Residences and 3 Villas Fregate island is a wonderful hideaway dedicated to conservation. Given the responsibility of nurturing the island’s habitat has ensured that Fregate’s food philosophy is very much based on sustainability. All the vegetables and fruits that are grown on the island are organic, while the fish landed every day at their harbour is as fresh as it could ever be. Whether you are dining Creole or International, the cuisine boasts a unique freshness where the flavours of the local produce do all the talking.

Six Senses Zil Pasyon on Felicité
Best Seychelles resort for wellness seekers

Located on a secluded, tropical private island, Six Senses Zil Pasyon is a paradise for those seeking real escape.
