Description
Your journey begins in the Seychelles staying at Desroches Island located in the Amirantes group of islands. The island is 5km long and 1.5km wide and surrounded by stunning white beach and protected by a coral reef, which is rich in colourful marine life and is amongst the top 15 fishing and diving destinations worldwide. The resort has two dining options but is known more for its low-key barbeques on the beach or private dining which can be arranged at a special spot on the beach or alongside the pool. Along with options of exploring the island by bike and sailing for example, the resorts own PADI centre can arrange trips to outstanding dive locations. There is also a fabulous spa offering a wide range of exotic treatments. Desroches is a tiny dot of desert island gorgeousness but most certainly manages to fit in a whole lot of wow factor.
You will then fly back to the mainland and stay two nights at the contemporary and luxurious Hilton Northolme located 40 minutes away from the charming capital of Mahe.
From here you will fly onwards to Dubai where you will be met and driven to Zighy Bay, which is located on the Northern Peninsula of Oman, only 90 minutes from Dubai. The resort has 82 stunning pool villas and beautifully blends the traditional rustic Omani architectural techniques with a modern innovative twist, offering a subtle sense of luxury, masterfully crafted with the appreciation of the local surroundings. One of the highlights of this tropical paradise is the world famous Six Senses spa, taking the experience of a massage to the next level.
