White sandy beaches and turquoise waters, the Seychelles epitomizes paradise. This is a place of tranquility, and privacy with home-away-from-home amenities. Those looking to relax may do so on the pristine beaches, and rejuvenate in the first-class spas. Those seeking adventure may scuba dive in the clear water, hike the nature trails around the camp, or sport fish exotic species.

The beaches here are the big attraction. With 115 islands scattered in the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean, there are plenty to choose from with the added advantage of getting away from the crowds. Some popular island spots are the world-famous Anse Source d’Argent, secluded Anse Marron, romantic Anse Takamaka, and picture-postcard perfect Anse Lazio. Not only are these beaches a honeymooner’s dream, they are teeming with wildlife earning them the nickname “The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean”. Visitors can watch giant Aldabra tortoises roaming freely on Curieuse or revel in the exotic varieties of bird life found hereabouts including sooty terns, warblers, and magpie robins.

Besides the luxury and beauty, North Island stands as a testament to environmental rehabilitation. Through the Noah’s Arc Project, this island has become a haven for indigenous island flora and fauna.

The Seychelles are also a prime spot for water sports and fishing. Divers and snorkelers can enjoy healthy reefs, canyon-like terrain, shallow shelves, exciting shipwrecks, impressive granite outcrops, and splendid coral gardens. The warm waters are so clear, it’s easy to spot angel fish, sweepers, octopus, stingrays, spiny lobster, nurse sharks, and even the occasional hammerhead sharks. Above water, an idyllic cruise or Dhow trip takes in the romantic beauty of this island Eden.

The Seychelles has two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the fabled Vallée de Mai on Praslin where the curiously shaped Coco-de-mer nut grows high on ancient palms and the fabled Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll, first seen by early Arab seafarers of the 9th century A.D.
