Uncover the white sands and astounding nature of the tranquil Seychelles before jetting to the glittering cityscape of Dubai to swim with dolphins and roam the desert in this all-encompassing spectacular pan-Indian Ocean journey that outshines any other luxury vacation by miles.<\/p>\n
Get your trip off to an epic start with a hike in the nearby Vall\u00e9e de Mai UNESCO World Heritage Site \u2013 a spectacularly eerie emerald palm forest, unchanged since prehistoric times and filled with endangered coco de mer trees, only to be found in the Seychelles. From wandering the woodland to sprawling on the sand as your second day is all about relaxation – take your lunch alfresco with a picnic on one of the world\u2019s best beaches, Anse Lazio, a flawless stretch of ivory sand fringed by tropical takamaka trees. Afterwards treat yourself to a Pure Pearl spa treatment, using therapeutic pearl powder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next day, spend time with some giant tortoises on the nearby Curieuse Island, a red-earthed sliver of paradise, home to rare flora and fauna. Wrap up an already successful day with a cookery class, taught by the hotel\u2019s own chef, learning how to cook with the excellent local produce and finish up with a delicious meal at the chef\u2019s table \u2013 we think it\u2019s safe to say that you\u2019ve made the most of your time in the Seychelles. Tonight dream of unbounded luxury, far-reaching deserts and day-and-night glamour because tomorrow it\u2019s off to glamorous Dubai.<\/p>\n
Ease any travel tiredness with a hot stone massage in the Raffles spa before a leisurely lunch, sampling the cream of Arabic cuisine in Azur. Have an aquatic afternoon and one you\u2019re not going to forget – swimming with dolphins in Dolphin Bay. Day two will take you from water to the air and land \u2013 get a birds-eye view of Dubai on a helicopter ride of the city before scaling back the sands of time with a desert safari in a sleek vintage Land Rover to spot exotic local wildlife.<\/p>\n
As your trip winds to a close, spend the last part of your Dubai daze with some shopping downtown to pick up some souvenirs. Then finish your vacation on a crescendo with a trip to the top of the world\u2019s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa and its 360\u02da floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Dubai and the Persian Gulf, for a sight that will stay with you all the way home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
