The Seychelles, Slowly

The journey.

The Seychelles are what the Indian Ocean does when it's showing off — granite boulders sculpted into coves, water in impossible gradients, and islands small enough to learn by heart.

The islands A split stay: Praslin for the Vallée de Mai's prehistoric palms and Anse Lazio's perfect arc, then tiny La Digue by bicycle — giant tortoises, vanilla farms, and Anse Source d'Argent at the golden hour when the boulders light up.

The water A private catamaran day through the inner islands, snorkelling granite gardens, and a castaway lunch on a sandbar that comes and goes with the tide.

No schedule survives here. That's the review.
