Full Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Upon arrival into Seychelles, after completing immigration and customs formalities, you will be met by an Alluring Africa representative and transferred to Banyan Tree Seychelles, where you will stay for four nights.
Day 2 – 4
Enjoy three full days enjoying this beautiful island!
There are numerous activities which can be booked during your stay at Banyan Tree Resort. Here a few suggestions. Please let us know which interests you so we can quote you accordingly.
Day Tour to Paslin and La Digue: With its languid ways, time-honoured traditions and carefree lifestyle, La Digue is a scenic island where you can enjoy a refreshing coconut drink before experiencing plantation life firsthand at L’Union Estate. Swim in the waters of the world-famous Anse Source D’Argent, before feasting on a Creole lunch at La Domaine. Visit the neighbouring island of Praslin and embark on a guided tour to the enigmatic Vallée de Mai, where the legendary Coco-de-Mer grows in the shadow of a hidden valley. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is believed to be the legendary Garden of Eden.
Turtle Nesting at Anse Intendance: Banyan Tree Seychelles is a homing zone for turtles to lay eggs each year. Turtle season begins in October and ends in February, when the last nest hatches and the final baby turtle crawls to the sea safely to find life in the ocean.
Fishing: The exclusive Eden Island development is located just off Mahé and is home to a finite number of luxurious villas, sophisticated maisons and stylish apartments. The development also boasts a full-service, deep-water marina with private moorings for each residence in the resort. In addition to exceptional accommodation, Eden Island is also well equipped with secluded beaches, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, a gymnasium, child-friendly play areas and a world-class shopping centre.
Banyan Tree Spa: Like its sacred floral namesake, the Banyan Tree luxury spa in Seychelles offers guests a Sanctuary for the Senses – a place for physical, mental and spiritual renewal. To achieve this, the Spa focuses on a non-clinical and holistic approach based on traditional Eastern healing therapies. Its approach celebrates the human touch and the use of natural herbs and spices. Banyan Tree Spa pioneered the Tropical Garden Spa concept with its Eastern therapies and holistic focus on spiritual, mental and physical harmony. As Asia’s first upmarket oriental spa, it reintroduced an exotic blend of ancient health and beauty practices reverently passed down as generational heirlooms.
Rum Shack and Organic Farm Tour: Taste Seychellian rum while delighting in flaky forkfuls of freshly barbecued fish at the Rum Shack on Intendance Bay. Visit the organic farm garden that supplies Banyan Tree Seychelles with almost three quarters of its fresh ingredients, and engage in an interactive cooking experience that will introduce you to Seychellois gastronomy.
Market Street: An array of food and crafts can be found at the market in Victoria. Couples strolling through hand in hand will see fishermen haul their catch to market, stalls offering fragrant spices and citronella, sellers purveying tea and local delicacies and a beautiful collection of local crafts. The locals fashion crafted items from the ubiquitous island coconut, and also make jewelery and silk paintings by hand.
