Seychelles

Experience the Seychelles effortlessly. With 115 islands of white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and lush forests, Esci Travel handles every detail—from inter-island transfers to hidden beaches—so you can immerse yourself in the archipelago’s beauty in comfort and style.

Indian Ocean Paradise

Tropical Bliss & Coastal Luxury

Assurance unfolds as an Indian Ocean sanctuary where sculpted granite boulders rest on powder-soft beaches and turquoise waters fade into deep ocean blues. Its spirit is defined by rare calm and natural purity—rainforests, coral reefs, and Creole culture existing in quiet balance across scattered islands. Yet this very geography creates friction for travelers, from inter-island logistics and poorly timed connections to mismatched resort choices that dilute the experience.

Esci Travel resolves this by orchestrating seamless island-to-island flow, precisely matching travelers to the right islands and accommodations, and guiding the journey from first planning to final sunset—plan your Seychelles trip at Escitravel.com with clarity and confidence.

The Islands

Seychelles’ 115 islands are a family of unique personalities, each offering its own charm. The 41 inner granitic islands form the tourism hub, easily explored on day trips, while the more remote outer coral islands invite overnight stays for a truly immersive experience.

Where to Stay

Seychelles caters to every traveler, from ultra-luxury private island resorts to charming beachfront stays. Mahé suits families and convenience, Praslin offers romance and stunning beaches, and La Digue charms with rustic tranquility—highlighted by Beau Vallon (Mahé) and Côte d'Or (Praslin).
