Passionately Seychelles
Creole is one of the leading destination management companies (DMC) of the idyllic Seychelles Islands.
Rich in its history, the team are celebrating their “20 Years of Creole” this year, and look forward to growing
bigger and better with every passing decade!
reole is a family owned and operated business,
falling under the extensive umbrella of the JFA
Group of Companies. JFA would be the initials
of the literal “founding father” of Creole and
affiliated companies, Mr. Joseph France Albert,
the Chairman and father to CEO, Mr. Guillaume Albert.
Through his hard work, Mr. Albert has built his entire
empire from scratch and with the help of Guillaume and
his two other sons, Jean Christophe and Gregory, the
Albert legacy continues to grow and prosper.
The DMC started off as Creole Holidays until it merged
with Travel Services Seychelles, giving
birth to Creole Travel Services – a
nationally recognised and celebrated
tourism brand.
Creole has offices in the three main
islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue- key destinations to offer their clients
a wide range of products and services
that are unique to each. Mahé is the
most populated and home to one of the
tiniest capitals in the world, Victoria.
Praslin is the second largest island in the archipelago and
guards one of two UNESCO Heritage Sites available in
the Seychelles: the mysterious Vallée de Mai, rumoured
to be the original Garden of Eden. La Digue is famous for
being the bicycle island, where the two wheeler is the
main mode of transport for the inhabitants, meaning less
pollution, less noise and a more authentic island roots
experience for everyone.
Creole strives to be the complete package as a
destination host, wanting to be able to cater to the needs
of their clients from airport meet and greets, transfers,
tours, accommodation and entertainment. They are able to
accomplish this in synergy with our sister companies.
Their airport staff welcomes clients as soon as they step
out of the arrival doors, and guide them into the Creole
Exclusive Lounge at the airport, or straight on to their
awaiting transfers to bring them to their respective hotels.
To bring clients to neighbouring Praslin and La Digue
islands from mainland Mahé, the company’s sister Inter-
Island Boats Ltd. provides the fastest ferries crossing the
islands on a trio of high speed catamarans, the Cat Cocos
fleet, with a seating capacity from 227 to 475 passengers
respectively.
Creole’s Le Domaine Collection features 4-star properties
on Praslin and La Digue islands. The first built by the family
was the Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie on La Digue, featuring
63 stunning villas and the Eden Rock Spa,
highlighting local architecture and the
warmth of wood in a pure Zen style. Le
Domaine de La Reserve on Praslin has its
own exclusive beach, Anse Petite Cour, and
faces the Curieuse Island Marine National
Park. The hotel offers 40 rooms housed
in traditional Creole style buildings, and
boasts one of the largest swimming pools in
the Seychelles.
To entertain their guests, Creole offers a
wide variety of activities to not just show you the islands,
but to encourage you to take part of and learn from the
culture and traditions. Creole can whisk you away on
both land and sea, often blending both within the same
excursion, on their twin catamarans: the Oplezir and
Odezir. Easily identified by the giant frangipani insignia
on their matching sails, the team will guide you into
discovering why the Seychelles is often called the last
paradise on Earth.
Creole love their young guests too! Through their Looker
440GB, the Zephir, a semi-submersible vessel can immerse
you and your children into the unique underwater world of
the company’s marine parks. Young minds will be thrilled
as they learn to identify different fish species and other sea
creatures, dry and safe onboard the open air deck.C
