THE SEYCHELLES ISLANDS – ANOTHER WORLD!
The diversity of the Seychelles landscape rushes up to greet you the moment your aircraft begins its descent and promises a long list of things to do. Not with glitz and glitter but by a fusion of magical natural setting and simple elegance.

Seychelles is famous for having some of the best beaches in the world, pristine and uncrowded. Some are framed by age-old granite boulders. Others offer powder-soft sands, turquoise waters and sublime opportunities for swimming, snorkelling or pure relaxation. You are never far from a stunning beach to die for – or to dive from (diving, like all other water sports, is well catered for).
There are great opportunities for island-hopping between the 16 islands that currently offer accommodation. These range from luxurious world-class resorts to rustic island lodges and cosy beachside bungalows. Some are friendly and laid-back family settings whilst others pander strictly to the self-indulgent luxury-lover. Many feature all-inclusive packages, especially on the exclusive smaller outer islands. On your way, you will discover such gems as the legendary Vallée de Mai, home to the unique Coco de Mer.

You will also find proud national monuments, beautiful Creole houses, artists’ studios, national reserves and marine parks, as well as breathtaking natural wonders above and beneath the waves. Various excursions will introduce you to the pleasures of glass-bottom boating, or enjoying a choice of water sports.
There’s also golf, horse-riding and guided nature tours where you will be able to enjoy some of the rarest species of flora and fauna on earth. Not forgetting the mellow Seychelles nightlife where you can take in a casino, some local bars and fine restaurants offering unforgettable Creole and international cuisine. Delicious seafood and curries play their own memorable part in the Seychelles experience!
