Highlights
• Enjoy the experience of a customised journey aboard the Spirit of Ponant as though you were on your own private ship.
• The feeling of shared joy and reconnecting with what is essential on a catamaran of intimate scale: maximum of 12 guests and four crew members including a local chef.
• Included activities: paddleboarding, hiking, encounters with giant tortoises, snorkelling, waterskiing, wakeboarding, etc.
Discover Mahé, the main island of the Seychelles and also the largest of the archipelago, home to the capital, Victoria. Mahé has almost 70 beaches of fine sand, framed by the emblematic granite rocks, and whose crystal clear waters are renowned for their rich underwater life. The island is also famous for its splendid mountain panoramas accessible on hikes, such as the Morne Seychellois, which is 905 metres high and overlooks the Indian Ocean. Mahé is also an island full of history where fine colonial properties rub shoulders with Creole houses - and don’t forget the marvellous Botanical Gardens in Victoria.
Accessible only by boat or nature trails, Baie Ternay Marine National Park is a wild and pristine sanctuary where nature reigns supreme. Nestled in a secluded bay to the north-west of Mahé, this unspoilt paradise is ideal for getting away from it all. Beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean, a kaleidoscope of marine life flourishes: tropical fish, vibrant corals and sea turtles co-exist in captivating harmony. The lush nature surrounding the bay adds a touch of mystery and grandeur, offering breathtaking views for adventurers in search of untouched landscapes.
To the north-west of Mahé, Port Launay Marine National Park is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Here, the sea reveals its most precious secrets. Its dazzling blue waters are home to an incredibly rich underwater world, where coral reefs vibrate with life and colour. While snorkelling or scuba diving, come face-to-face with tropical fish, graceful rays, and perhaps even some sea turtles. In this paradise, the mangroves and white-sand beaches enchant visitors, while the surrounding nature invites exploration.
Thérèse is an uninhabited island of the Inner Seychelles. From the heights of this tiny island covered in abundant vegetation, the Mahé summits can be seen. Its tropical beach, a 700-metre long (2,300 feet) ribbon of golden sand lined with coconut trees, is one of the most beautiful in the Seychelles. The crystal-clear waters in shades of turquoise edging this piece of confetti in the Indian Ocean are home to numerous species of multicoloured tropical fish. In this stunning setting, away from the world, the myth of Robinson Crusoe can be reinvented.
Lying off the coast of Mahé, the Sainte Anne Marine National Park has been protecting the natural riches and exceptional sea beds of the verdant islands and turquoise lagoons of Sainte-Anne, Longue, Ronde, Moyenne and Cerf since 1973. These dream islands with their white sandy beaches edged with granite rock, crystal-clear waters and coconut trees promise unforgettable moments of relaxation and discovery. These colourful reefs and granite rocks and their large swathes of seagrass are home to a multitude of tropical fish as well as sea turtles, dolphins and several species of ray, including the manta ray.
Lost in the heart of the Seychelles archipelago, Moyenne Island is a discreet jewel where time seems to stand still. This natural sanctuary, edged by turquoise waters and immaculate beaches, is a haven of serenity. Stroll along the paths shaded by lush vegetation. Marvel at the giant tortoises, the veritable guardians of this timeless paradise, and discover the island’s hidden treasures like its mysterious ruins.
Nestling in a peaceful bay on the southwestern coast of Mahé, Anse à la Mouche beach will entice you to escape to tropical tranquillity. Its shallow and enchantingly calm crystal-clear waters will invite you in for a serene swim or to paddleboard at the whim of its gentle currents. The white, silky sand stretches out like an immaculate carpet, edged with coconut trees and lush vegetation which whisper beneath the caress of the wind.
