SEYCHELLES – #SASSYFUNKE

Truth is the Seychelles is one of those destinations where honeymooners ventures on holiday and don’t really do much except stay on their resort, eat and sleep all day. I went to the Seychelles as part of a family holiday and as always, I made sure I kept myself busy (Why would I travel so far to SLEEEP?? No, not me. I can sleep peacefully in Lagos; thats actually debatable). Here are my favourite highlights from my trip to inspire you to visit the Seychelles:

1. VANTAGE POINT FROM VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES

There were many vantage points in the Seychelles but this was one of my favorites.

2. VISIT TO THE TEA FACTORY

Located in Mahe, this tea factory established in 1962 is responsible for growing and manufacturing tea in the seychelles. You can discover here how Seychelles’ tea is made. From the tea factory, one can also enjoy panoramic views of the western slopes of Mahé.

3. CATAMARAN FOR THE DAY

This is no doubt a perfect way to not only relax and get some watersports into your day but its also a perfect way to visit other the many island in the Seychelles.

4. VISIT TO TORTOISE ISLAND

We visited the Praslin island which was home to many many giant tortoises. I particularly enjoy feeding these creatures.

5. VISIT TO THE HINDU TEMPLE

Interesting is that Hinduism is the second largets religion in the Seychelles. The Arulmigu Navasakti Vinayagar Temple is the first and the only Hindu temple in Seychelles. I didn’t visit inside the temple but the exterior of the temple was no doubt stunning.

6. MANGROVE WALK IN PRASLIN ISLAND

Such a great way to see nature at its finest. An unspoilt island with many beautiful plants and animals.

7. VIEW FROM THE RECEPTION OF FOUR SEASONS

8. THE VIEW OF OUR VILLA AT THE FOUR SEASONS (SPOT THE OTHER VILLAS)

9. BATHROOM TO DIE FOR ANYONE? FOUR SEASONS

10. VISIT TO THE MISSON RUINS OF VENN’S TOWN, A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE

11. SUNSET AT THE FOUR SEASONS

12. THE VIEWS LANDING IN THE SEYCHELLES

To say the Seychelles is stunning is an understatement and one truly has to see it with one’s own eyes to believe it.

Hope I was able to inspire you to visit The Seychelles. If you have any questions re: tips or what to do in the Seychelles, please feel free to ask.

To date, this is probably one of my favourite holiday destinations and it wasn’t even for my honeymoon (not that I have had one to date anyways). I spent 6 nights at the Four Seasons Resort in the Seychelles and it was divine. From the rooms to the scenery to the service, I could not fault much or could I? hmmm read more and enjoy the Four Season’s through my eyes:

ACCOMODATION

The beautiful villa (above). The whole resort was a combination of villas and private homes each hidden between trees. The villa I stayed in above was the standard villa. The entire villa had an built sound system which was impressive.

Another view of this gorgeous living space. Daily, the resort delivered treats specially made by the chef for complimentary consumption.

The bathroom was everything (with a view our private pool in sight). I connected with nature 🙂

VIEW FROM THE SPA

The view from the Spa located at the top of the resort which ensured that the best view of the resort was from the Spa. I had a spa treatment and I was impressed by the level of service personnel but the quality of the treatment itself was debatable.

THE RESORT’S PRIVATE BEACH

Trust me to engage in a photoshoot at the hotel’s private beach. The resort has vast complimentary watersports which I also engaged in. Snokerling was certainly the best activity I embarked on and I was amazed by the many species I encountered.

MAIN POOL & BAR AREA

Pooltime any anyone??

FOOD

Food is the one thing that I believe was certainly over-priced at the resort; The reason being that most food on the island was actually imported and very few products were manufactured on the island.

What I loved: The accommodation i.e. Villas were simply amazing. I could not fault the rooms. From the amazing sound systems to the stunning pool.

What could be better: The food. I am a foodie so naturally critical of food. The food wasn’t bad but if you’re like me in that when you indulge in food, you want it to be super worth it then you may be a bit disappointed. Also, food at the resort was very expensive as I mentioned earlier.

Would I go back: It’s certainly an ideal resort for a honeymoon or even a girl’s retreat so as long as my bank account is happy, it is certainly a possibility.

What is the most important thing you value when you spend time at a luxury hotel? I mean the one thing if you didn’t have, you would feel you wasted your money. Is it the service or the food quality or something else? Share your thoughts below!
