Gorgeous villas, each one with its own swimming pool (get one on the beach) a full-time butler who will do everything from unpack your clothes to cook meals in your outdoor kitchen, a superb restaurant with five chefs, each specializing in a separate cuisine (Mediterranean, Arabic, Malay, Creole, and one other I can't remember...maybe Chinese) and a proprietor who encourages you to order off-menu and challenge his chefs to be creative. The banana/chocolate spring-rolls may be the best dessert I have ever had.
Wherever you stay, Ben, have a wonderful time!
If you stay at the Four Seasons or Constance Lemuria (in Praslin) I will DIE those are on my bucketlist and I would LOVE to see a review from you. Also, youre probably beach hopping in La Digue? Whatever you do I cant wait to read the reviews! Seychelles is HIGH up on my list 🙂
Enjoy your time! Try the small plane between Mahe and Praslin that is a scenic an memorable ride. In La Digue you can take a tour with Robert Agnes specially the anse marron tour we loved that! Praslin and la digue are such unique and beautiful spots enjoy 🙂
@Lucky surprised you aren't covering American flights not flying into Russian airspace because of Syria. The ORD PEK and DFW PEK flights are stopping in LAX.
