The unspoiled, unspoiled and gloriously natural beauty of the sea makes the Seychelles an exclusive holiday destination. Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands that are located in the Indian Ocean about 1600 km. of the African continent. It is a group of granitic and coral islands, basking in the equatorial sun, that has diverse landscapes of soft, eroded rock outcroppings and endless expanses of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Seychelles has two distinct types of topography: The Inner Islands are made up of granite boulders with rocky peaks and thick forests that offer beautiful hiking trails. The main islands are Mahe, Praslin and La Digue which are the center of both tourist activity and the Seychellois natives. Most of the hotels that Seychelles has are located on these islands. The outer islands are the coral islands that extend up to 1100 km. around Mahe. The World Heritage-listed Aldabra Atoll is the world’s largest raised coral island, home to the largest number of giant tortoises in the world. Coral reefs are the tranquil habitat of turtles, seabirds and vibrant aquatic life. Alphonse and Desroches Atolls offer luxury accommodation and are famous for fly fishing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving. Some of the privately owned islands like Fregate and Denis have become favorite getaway destinations for Hollywood celebrities.
Seychelles’ pristine beaches with crystal clear turquoise waters, white sand, naturally harvested with coconut and palm trees make it a must-see destination. Seychelles offers a unique vacation full of relaxation and blissful solitude ideal for honeymooners, where if you wish the only life you will rub shoulders with, is the giant tortoises and tortoises! The crystal clear waters of this island paradise are perfect for scuba diving, sailing, canoeing, fishing, snorkeling and admiring the rich biodiversity of marine life. In addition to water sports, you can enjoy horse riding, golf or bird watching.
Nearly 50% of the land area of Seychelles is protected by nature conservation, offering tourists the opportunity to see the flourishing endemic flora and fauna, enjoying the many national parks, biological reserves, extensive coconut plantations, cinnamon and vanilla. Tourists can take guided tours or explore the islands on their own.
Due to occupation by the Arabs, the French, the British, and its proximity to Africa, Seychelles is a delightful mix of cultures, offering visitors glimpses of all of them in local art, folklore, and exotic cuisine. Foodies can choose from international cuisines, offering the best local flavors, especially in seafood.
You can plan your stay in any of the luxurious hotels that Seychelles has to offer, or in a beautiful beach resort that Seychelles has to offer. Every hostel or hotel that Seychelles has is fully equipped with modern amenities. Some of the small islands offer accommodation for a limited number of guests at any given time, which really makes you feel like the king or queen of that island. No matter where you stay, the attractive beaches will always be within easy reach of all the Seychelles hotels.
All the Seychelles islands that offer accommodation or various excursions are well connected by air and sea. Seychelles airlines, helicopter service and ferry service ensure comfortable inter-island travel. Car hire and taxi services are available on the main islands such as Mahe.
Seychelles has something for everyone: private hideaways for romance or quiet rejuvenation, outdoor activities for unlimited fun with family or friends, encounters with nature, and a nightlife where you can relax even more in a casino or at a local pub. Seychelles, the exotic island of sun, sand and water promises an unforgettable vacation!
