7 February 2024

We spend a lot of our time looking at new hotel launches and refurbishments, hearing about special offers and keeping up to date on changes with airlines. We do this so that you don't have to. Today we thought we would show you what has caught our eyes over the last few weeks. 

Le Chateau des Feuilles

  • While not a new hotel per se, Chateau des Feuilles is an exciting new property for our portfolio. The boutique hotel is the only Relais & Chateau property in the Seychelles and with just nine rooms, guests are guaranteed personal service. As you would expect from a Relais & Chateau property, the restaurant at the hotel is renowned for its fine dining cuisine with a Creole twist. 

  • We particularly love that guests are provided with a complimentary hire car during their stay, perfect for exploring the picturesque beaches and coves around Praslin. Hailed as one of the Seychelles' best beaches and uninhabited islands, Grand Soeur is a favourite to visit with local boat trips. As the island is owned and maintained by Chateau des Feuilles, weekends are kept exclusively for hotel guests. Relax on the pristine, soft white beach before enjoying a beach BBQ.

New Special Offer at C Mauritius

  • Offering an impressive All-Inclusive package as standard, C Mauritius is great value at the best of times.  At the moment, they have a 30% tactical discount on stays between the 1st and 30th April 2024. 

  • We love C Mauritius for a number of reasons, ranging from their onsite deli, Cpicerie, which serves delicious sweet treats and healthy snacks throughout the day to the wide variety of water sports available at the hotel. C Mauritius is also home to a kite surf school, making it a great place for beginners to learn a new sport and for experts to show off your skills.

Premium Economy with Emirates

  • Our founder, Ludo, tried out the new Emirates Premium Economy cabin which is said to rival the Business Class cabin of some airlines. Emirates have slowly been adding the cabin to more routes and it can now be found widely across their network and certainly has Ludo's stamp of approval.

  • As with everything Emirates does, the attention to detail and premium standard ensures the upgrade feels worth it. Enjoy dedicated check in desks, welcome drinks served in fine glassware and a premium dining experience. Ludo's favourite thing; the additional space and comfort even for someone who is 6ft 2.

Some Exciting News

Protecting yourself from the sun is important, especially in the destinations we cover where the sun can be strong and you are likely to be spending plenty of time soaking it up. This is why we are excited to be able to say we have partnered with Saltee, a luxury British suncare brand. We will be sending every client a suncare kit from Saltee before they travel, which will include SPF 30, SPF 50 and aftersun. Saltee’s award winning suncare not only smells fantastic, but is also vegan, cruelty-free and free from ocean pollutants.
