The Indian Ocean's Scattered Island Paradise
The Seychelles, an archipelago of over 100 islands off Africa’s eastern coast is a true paradise, home to some of the world’s finest beaches, fringed by palm trees, sculpture-like natural rock formations and the coral-rich azure waters of the Indian Ocean, whilst inland, there are myriad hills and mountains carpeted with biodiverse tropical forests and dotted with rivers and spectacular waterfalls.
With a wealth of luxury resorts and hotels to choose from, along with a diverse range of activities on offer - from world-class diving and snorkeling to hiking, paragliding, golfing, and windsurfing - the Seychelles has something for everyone, and it is difficult to beat relaxing on one of the white-sanded beaches with a drink in hand, taking in the picture-perfect ocean vistas.
