Stay in the Seychelles in high style

-

The prizewinne­r will win a luxury Indian Ocean holiday of a lifetime for two, incorporat­ing the very best of the Seychelles courtesy of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, Oetker Collection’s Fregate Island Private, and Destinolog­y. The trip will include return World Traveller Plus flights for two on the new direct British Airways route with Destinolog­y, the luxury travel experts, as well as eight nights’ accommodat­ion island-hopping between Six Senses Zil Pasyon – a super-luxe ecological jewel and “cool kid on the block” – and Fregate Island Private, a sanctuary of conservati­on and one of the best locations to get up close and personal with rare wildlife.

THE PRIZE

Upon arrival to the Seychelloi­s capital of Mahé, the two prizewinne­rs will be transferre­d via helicopter to Six Senses Zil Pasyon on the private island of Félicité, where massive granite rocks and coral-fringed beaches create an air of drama and beauty, while seamlessly fusing land and sea. An oasis of serenity nestled between verdant foliage and crystal-clear waters, Six Senses Zil Pasyon is ideally located outside the cyclone belt and occupies less than one third of the total land as the sole resort on the island. Checking into a Panorama Pool Villa for four nights, the prizewinne­rs will enjoy half-board accommodat­ion (daily breakfast and dinner) throughout their stay, as well as one 60-minute Couple’s Massage in the Six Senses Spa – a true highlight of any Six Senses Resort – set amid majestic rock formations.

Next up on the itinerary is a boat hop to Fregate Island Private, the prestigiou­s Oetker Collection’s idyllic Indian Ocean private island the size of Monaco, home to seven entirely private and unique beaches. Upon arrival, it feels like walking into an ultra-luxe Jurassic Park with the luscious green landscape, thousands of birds circulatin­g in the sky and greetings from the 2,000-odd charismati­c Giant Aldabra Tortoises which call Fregate Island home. Enjoying a further four nights’ accommodat­ion in a Private Pool Residence on a full-board basis (including all meals, soft drinks, house wines and local beers), prizewinne­rs will unwind with one spa treatment each in the Rock Spa, before being whisked back to Seychelles Internatio­nal Airport by helicopter once again to return to London.
