Couple Packages
Getaways
Berjaya Praslin Resort, Côte d'Or or similar
Five days in Seychelles for two, with four nights on Côte d'Or beach on Praslin, a bike day on La Digue, a boat day with the giant tortoises of Curieuse and a slow day built around the two of you, plus direct flights from Nairobi in one price.
Affordable Seychelles Couple Getaway from Nairobi: five days and four nights in Seychelles with direct return economy flights on Kenya Airways from JKIA and checked baggage. You land on Mahé around lunchtime, cross to Praslin on the afternoon fast ferry and stay four nights at Berjaya Praslin Resort on Côte d'Or beach in a Deluxe Room with a balcony or terrace, with breakfast every morning and every transfer and ferry seat arranged for you.
Your days take in a ferry hop to La Digue to cycle to Anse Source d'Argent, a boat day to Curieuse and St Pierre with a BBQ lunch among the giant tortoises, and a day for two with a slow morning, the coco de mer forest of the Vallée de Mai and a late afternoon at Anse Lazio. Celebrating something? Turn the trip into an anniversary, a birthday, a proposal or a surprise with one of the occasion upgrades below. One price per person sharing covers the flights, hotel, transfers and every experience listed below, and one Baecation planner stays with you on WhatsApp from booking to landing home.
Some trips are about seeing a place. This one is about the two of you having time together in one. You get the same direct flights, Praslin base and La Digue bike day as our shorter Seychelles package, plus an extra night, a day on the water with the tortoises of Curieuse and a day with a slow start and nothing to rush.
We base you on Praslin on purpose. The airport on Mahé is a short drive from the ferry quay, so you cross over on the day you land. From Côte d'Or, La Digue is a 15 minute ferry ride away, the boats to Curieuse leave close by, and the Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio are a short drive, so one hotel puts all of it within reach.
This is also the package to build an occasion on. Anniversaries, birthdays, proposals and surprises all start from the same getaway, and the upgrades below add the moment each one needs. If one of you is planning in secret, your planner keeps every detail between you and them until the right moment.

About Package
More information about this package
Hotel base: Four nights at Berjaya Praslin Resort, a 3 star hotel on Côte d'Or beach in the north east of Praslin, or a comparable hotel confirmed at booking. It has a swimming pool with a pool bar and two restaurants, one of them right on the beach.
Your room: A Deluxe Room of about 27 square metres with a balcony or terrace and direct access to the beach.
Breakfast daily: A buffet breakfast is included every morning. Dinners are left open, because restaurants, takeaways, a supermarket and an ATM are all within walking distance on Côte d'Or. If you would rather settle dinner too, half board can be added below.
Direct flights: Kenya Airways flies direct between JKIA and Mahé in about three hours and fifteen minutes. Its daytime flights run on set days of the week, and your planner matches your dates to them.
Island hopping made simple: A private driver takes you from the airport to the ferry quay in Victoria, and the Cat Cocos fast ferry crosses to Praslin in about an hour and a quarter. Every ferry seat and transfer on the trip is booked before you fly.
La Digue by bike: The small Cat Rose ferry takes about 15 minutes from Praslin to La Digue, where you get around by bicycle. Your bikes and your entry to L'Union Estate and Anse Source d'Argent are included.
Curieuse and St Pierre: A boat takes you to Curieuse for a walk through the island's green interior and a Creole BBQ lunch on the beach among the giant tortoises, then on to the granite islet of St Pierre to snorkel. The landing fee is included.
A day for two: Day four starts with no pickup. Take a slow morning on the beach, then your private driver takes you to the Vallée de Mai, the UNESCO World Heritage palm forest where the coco de mer grows, and on to Anse Lazio for the late afternoon. The evening is yours, or the moment you are celebrating.
Built for occasions: Anniversary, birthday, proposal and surprise upgrades sit on top of this getaway, so you choose the moment and we arrange it. Secret planning is handled in confidence with whichever partner books.
No visa, two documents: Kenyan passport holders do not need a visa for Seychelles, but every visitor needs a Seychelles Travel Authorization before flying, and Seychelles requires a yellow fever certificate from travellers arriving from Kenya. The Travel Authorization opens 30 days before your flight, so your planner files it with you then and pays the fee. If you do not have a yellow fever card yet, get vaccinated at least 10 days before you travel.
Seaweed season: Between December and February the wind can wash seaweed onto Côte d'Or beach and cloud the water near the shore. It is natural, and your planner tells you how the beach is looking before you fly.
One planner, start to finish: Your Baecation planner sends your e tickets, ferry tickets and hotel voucher, files your Travel Authorization with you, checks your yellow fever certificates and stays reachable on WhatsApp throughout the trip.
Package Itinerary
The package itinerary is as follows
Affordable Seychelles Couple Getaway Itinerary with Baecation Adventures from Nairobi
Flight times vary by date. This plan follows the Kenya Airways daytime flights, which leave Nairobi in the morning and leave Mahé in the early afternoon.
