Our Dream Holiday in the Seychelles
We wanted to enjoy a dream holiday, so we decided on the Seychelles. We researched everything thoroughly beforehand and quickly knew that we would book our trip through SeyVillas. The SeyVillas website made it very easy and straightforward to plan the trip online. We opted for island hopping and spent months looking forward to our booked holiday.
Finally, the time came and we flew directly from Frankfurt to Mahé in the Seychelles with Condor.
From there, we continued to Praslin on a small propeller plane operated by Air Seychelles. This is an experience not to be missed – truly adventurous and great fun.
Praslin
On Praslin, we had chosen the Sea View Lodge for our accommodation. We were given the villa with the most beautiful view. Everything was clean, and we would recommend it.
On Praslin, we mainly travelled by bus. It was completely hassle-free and also very inexpensive. You can get almost anywhere by bus. We explored quite a few places on Praslin, including the famous Vallée de Mai and Cote D`or. The Vallée de Mai is simply incredible! You feel as though you are walking straight through the jungle.
Another highlight was the full-day trip to Curieuse, including a barbecue. We were collected by motorboat from Anse Possession and taken to Curieuse. We then hiked through the mangroves, where you can see a huge variety of wildlife, including enormous crabs.
When we reached the other side, we were welcomed by the many giant tortoises and our guide.
La Digue
On day 5, we continued to La Digue. We spent our time there at the wonderful Pension Michel. The property is even more beautiful than described, and we felt very comfortable there because everyone was so warm and attentive. We would happily return to Pension Michel again and again. Once again, we were lucky enough to be given one of the loveliest rooms (Room No. 4).
The tours with Robert Agnes are also highly recommended. We took the hiking tour to Anse Marron and another tour to Turtle Rock. If you enjoy adventure and like pushing yourself to your limits from time to time, you really must take one of these tours.
From La Digue, we also booked a full-day trip to Sister Island, Coco Island and Felicite, including a barbecue on the beach. This is another absolute must. There was superb grilled fish with a range of side dishes, all prepared with so much care. Dreamlike islands and an absolute snorkelling paradise.
You simply must visit the famous Anse Source d`Argent beach, including the brilliant Fruita Cabana Bar. Photographs cannot capture the beach’s true beauty – you have to see it with your own eyes. The bar serves delicious, freshly prepared fruit cocktails. Simply wonderful!
We can also recommend Zerof restaurant on La Digue. It offers a Creole buffet three times a week for approximately €23 per person. We ate very well here. There was a variety of dishes, giving us a little taste of the local cuisine.
Cerf Island
We spent our final two days on Cerf Island at the Cerf Island Resort. Once again, we were lucky and received a complimentary upgrade. We stayed in the Takamaka Villa, which was an absolute highlight. It was enormous, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a Jacuzzi and a large terrace overlooking the sea. The resort serves excellent food, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. The island is simply perfect for relaxing.
In conclusion, all we can say is that the Seychelles are undoubtedly a dream destination. We have rarely met such lovely people as we did here. Creole took excellent care of us throughout our stay. Many thanks to SeyVillas!!!
