Seychelles Barefoot Island Paradise with a Luxury Dubai Stopover
Seychelles Barefoot Island Paradise with a Luxury Dubai Stopover
Inspirational island getaway honeymoon to United Arab Emirates and Seychelles
An unforgettable vacation of dramatic contrasts that seamlessly combine the unique nature and wildlife of a heavenly Seychelles tropical island with all the man-made attractions of dazzling Dubai. Perfect for couples and honeymooners wishing to have some 'me' time as well as a little 'discovery'. In Seychelles, take a 30-minute light aircraft flight from the main island of Mahé to the privately-owned coral island of Denis, winner of a 'best sustainable tourism destination' award in 2021.
Immerse yourself in the romance of Robinson Crusoe-style beachfront cottages and revel in amazing cuisine and relaxing spa treatments. Explore the solitude of this island sanctuary with the resident naturalist to see endemic bird species, giant tortoises, as well as the ongoing conservation work. For a little more 'activity', there are dive sites off the reef and you'll also have a high chance of snorkeling with turtles in the lagoon. After a blissful week, stopover in the heart of downtown Dubai at Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai. Convenient for visiting the city's heritage around the Souks and the Creek, we've also included a half day private tour of the Palm Jumeirah which provides a multitude of Instagram views as well as Afternoon Tea at Waldorf Astoria The Palm.
