We first opened our first offices in New Oxford Street back in 2000. We have been operating for nearly 9 years now and we are still going strong. In July 2008 we moved our premises to Ealing, West London. Just Seychelles is owned by a couple, one Seychellois and the other British who operated one of the main hotels on Mahé nearly 30 years ago.

Holidays to the Seychelles are not inexpensive, however if your budget is £1,500 or £15,000 we will tailor make your package. We personally put every individual package together so you are guaranteed to receive a personal touch. No request is too much for our team.
