The top end of the tourism market from Europe to the Seychelles now has an added way of reaching the islands, according to information sent to this correspondent by a source in Mahe, as Sunseeker/Jetflite have now availed a Global Challenger 604/5, which can reach the islands from any European destination, carrying up to 18 passengers at a go. To add to the appeal, the company then also provides yacht charters from the Seychelles, either for rent or even for purchase, to those who wish to come more regularly to the archipelago.
A recently-launched upmarket residential development, Eden Island, is, in fact, aimed at exactly these visitors, as they can purchase a villa, condominium, or residence on the purpose-built island, not far from the airport of Mahe, where a marina anchorage is then also part of the deal, besides permanent residency being granted by the immigration department in Victoria. A visit in style obviously all the way for the rich and famous.
