Inspirational holiday to United Arab Emirates and Seychelles
This luxurious twin-centre itinerary combines the exclusive facilities of The Ritz-Carlton Dubai and a private Seychelles tropical island paradise. From the man-made wonders of Dubai to the unique nature and wildlife of Seychelles, this is a vacation that offers a little discovery as well as plenty of romance and escapism.
First up, Dubai, staying at the sumptuously-appointed Ritz-Carlton hotel, located beachfront on the Gulf, yet ideally placed for visiting many of the city’s modern attractions. Included within this itinerary is an exciting half-day desert safari experience; witness a desert sunset over the dunes, try your hand at sand surfing and enjoy an Arabian dinner. Then to Seychelles and a thrilling 20-minute helicopter flight over tropical islands and sparkling ocean to Six Senses Zil Pasyon. With only 30 pool villas and the only resort on this conservation-driven island sanctuary, your stay here is very much about relaxation. Snorkel in crystal clear waters, discover unique nature and wildlife, enjoy a private Champagne sunset experience, or choose a wellness treatment at one of the most amazing spas in the Indian Ocean. The choice is endless.
