Masai Mara Safari & Mahe Always popular with honeymoon couples, this lovely trip includes a short safari at a beautiful...
The Banyan Tree Seychelles is a real tropical hideaway on the far south shores of Mahe. Framed by tropical jungle, exotic flowers and lush swaying palms, the beach is perfection and deserted almost all of the time. It really is the kind of place you need to keep pinching yourself as the views are almost unreal.
Accommodation is dotted up the hillside in sweet villas, almost hidden in the vegetation, and all offering panoramic views. The Hillside Villas are not huge if compared to some of the newer big budget hotel additions to the island, but they are delightful, beautifully appointed and very private. Outside is a super infinity pool and sun bathing terrace. There is no need to upgrade here.
Most villas are located quite some distance up a steep hillside. This is a hotel where most guests enjoy their own company only venturing to public areas for lunch and dinner.
The dining is superb, as you would expect from a Banyan Tree hotel. Dining can be taken in your villa or at a choice of three restaurants, one offering casual snacks, one Creole fine dining, then a Banyan Tree speciality Asian restaurant.
The Banyan Tree Spa also deserves a special mention as it is incredible and is what Banyan Tree hotels do best. Your therapist has undergone years of training and all the treatments and therapies are home grown by Banyan Tree in Asia. The treatment canopies are super and really, this is a major reason to stay here – the spa is one of the best in the Indian Ocean.
We recommend Banyan Tree for up to week, either before heading to a private island or as your only Seychelles hotel after a safari.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
