Outer Islands

Scattered across a vast expanse of the sparkling Indian Ocean, this remarkable part of the Seychelles archipelago comprises seventy-two low-lying coral cays and spectacular atolls that feel entirely removed from modern civilization.

While the famous granitic inner islands host the majority of the nation’s boutique resorts and population, these far-flung outposts remain pristine miniature worlds teeming with rare, undisturbed wildlife. For the luxury explorer seeking ultimate privacy, exclusive properties on Desroches Island or the remote Alphonse Atoll present a sophisticated castaway fantasy.

Guests can explore dense palm groves on bicycles, dive untouched reef walls with manta rays, or experience some of the world’s most coveted saltwater fly fishing in shallow turquoise basins. The region is also home to the legendary Aldabra Atoll, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site that nurtures the planet’s largest population of wild giant tortoises. This is an deeply restorative escape where the peaceful silence is broken only by the gentle sigh of the ocean waves.
