The tour operator for the Seychelles
SeyVillas is a tour operator specialising in the Seychelles with a particular focus on creating individual, personalised island-hopping tours. Learn more about our mission and team here.
We at SeyVillas are a specialised agent for the Seychelles whose strong point is putting together absolutely tailor-made personal island-hopping packages.
Our long association with the country and our close contacts with its people has equipped us with a wide-ranging and often exclusive range of accommodation on all the populated islands.
In order to ensure that our insistence on high quality is respected, we regularly check our accommodation personally and keep in constant contact with local hoteliers. This puts us in a position to provide a particularly complete travel advisory service based around your individual journey to the Seychelles.

SeyVillas - Our Mission
A holiday spent in a family-run guesthouse in the Seychelles. It’s almost impossible to get closer to these islands and their wonderful residents than that. We know these people. They are our partners. We have a close, long-standing friendship with many of them. Our trusted and fair cooperation with them is the foundation of our success. Therefore, we can maintain the social, cultural, and economic sustainability of the islands and their people. With that and our active engagement in carefully-chosen nature and social projects, we are helping to protect the wonderful variety of this small paradise. We are just as varied. We look out for each other and care for our colleagues. Despite all of our differences, one thing unifies us: our passion and affinity for our product. Paired with a distinct attention-to-detail and a service-oriented mentality, we offer incomparable quality in the travel industry to our global customer base.
From Seychelles-lover to Seychelles expert
The seyvillas.com portal went live in 2011 after an intensive period of research and preparation. Personal contacts and the vast array of small accommodations such as apartments and guesthouses made the Seychelles the ideal destination for the foundation of this specialised tour operator. Initially, the portfolio was built up with different types of accommodation, from self-catering houses to hotels, lodgings, and guesthouses. Today, the company not only caters for the German market, but also for the French and Italian markets in their respective native languages, as well as worldwide in English.
The Directors
Founder, Julian Grupp, is a true Seychelles expert: early on, he was a fan of the archipelago, made friends with the islands and the people over the years and developed a great knowledge. Since 2019, Francesca Ruggero and Walter Cuccarano have been a part of our team of managing directors, both of whom fell in love with the nature and people of the Seychelles on their numerous trips.
The SeyVillas Team
The SeyVillas team is made up of experts who have visited these islands of the Indian Ocean several times and have gained a comprehensive picture of this paradise and its inhabitants. Over the years, they have built up an excellent working relationship with the owners of the accommodation that we offer.
