Soft, white coral beaches, exotic flora and fauna, secluded beaches and crystal clear waters that are known for some of the finest leisure activities anywhere in the world – welcome to the Seychelles…
The Seychelles comprise over forty-two granitic islands and seventy-three coral islands of various sizes and topography, spread over an area of the south-west Indian Ocean as big as France. The Seychelles islands are the mountain tops of a large but submerged continent, formed by the Gondwanaland process over 600 million years ago. On the islands discover the Creoles, a unique combination of colorful language, music, exotic cuisine and a blend of cultures with rich traditions and folklore. For sun worshippers, there are year-round temperatures, and for the more active there are mountain hikes, picturesque villages to be explored, scuba diving and snorkeling, making the Seychelles Islands a perfect haven for all.

Days 4, 5, 6 Praslin Island
Today you will take a scheduled flight from Mahe Airport to Praslin, where you transfer to Lemuria Resort for your next three nights.
Praslin Island was named after the Duke de Choiseul de Praslin, a minister of Louis XV. Although the Seychelles were ceded to the English in 1811, they all retain a French influence. Praslin is exceptional in that it is, ecologically, almost totally unspoiled.
Lemuria is set on the northwest coast of this perfect tropical island paradise, where white sands edge the turquoise seas and surrounding hills encircle the resort protectively, ensuring shelter from prevailing winds. The buildings are designed to be in harmony with the preserved natural beauty of the environment. The main building lies on the slope of a hill, overlooking the beach and the tropical island.
The main restaurant, lounges and reception area are light, airy and have wide verandas. The eighty-eight suites, all lagoon facing and are scattered about the lovely grounds, and have floor-to ceiling windows to make the most of the beautiful quality of light. Rooms all have private balcony/terrace and private bathrooms. The sparkling pool has three levels, which cascade down from the building towards the sea gardens. Buildings are simple yet elegant: natural materials such as wood, thatch and stone are sympathetic to the spirit of the island.
A fully equipped gymnasium and fitness center, combined with water sports facilities, tennis and golf ensure entertainment throughout your stay.
Overnight: Lemuria Resort (B)
