WHITE BEACHES - AZURE WATERS &N UNIQUE FAUNA & FLORA
Seychelles is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean and consists of roughly 115 islands. The most important are the Inner Islands: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Due to its isolated location, Seychelles is home to unique fauna and flora. The islands are lauded for their many small, white sandy beaches, awash in azure waters and fringed by swaying coconut palms. Mahé is the largest island and also its financial centre, while Praslin is the green heart of the Seychelles and La Digue is dazzling with its pink protruding granite rocks. Everywhere you will find beautiful resorts that bathe you in an oasis of peace and luxury, so island hopping is definitely an option here.

A TRULY REMOTE GETAWAY
Cosmoledo Atoll’s pristine and untouched ecosystem boasts vast, wadeable sand flats, beautiful islands of different shapes and sizes as well as a wonderful lagoon.

UNTOUCHED ISLAND PARADISE
Welcome to the immaculate ecosystem of Astove Atoll. The atoll holds a large inner lagoon, white sandy beaches, a plethora of bird and fish species, and the awe-inspiring ‘Astove Wall’ holds impressive sheer drop-offs which makes you feel like you’re staring down the Grand Canyon.
Surrounding the main island of Mahé, there are numerous granite islands, also called the Inner Islands. These islands form the cultural, tourist and economic heart of the archipelago. There are 43 islands in total, the best known being Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
Mahé, an island 25km long by 8km wide, is the largest of the Inner Islands. Its tourist and economic heart beats here, including the airport and main town of Victoria. Around 90% of the total population lives here, illustrating perfectly the mix of cultures: African, European, but also Indian and Chinese. The motley collection of restaurants offers delicious Creole dishes, not forgetting, of course, seafood. On the island, you will also discover traditional Creole houses and artists' studios. Here you will also find beautiful hiking trails. The most beautiful ones are in the Morne National Park, named after the nearly 1,000-metre-high mountain peak.
La Digue is all about simple pleasures. It’s a sun-drenched world of stunning beaches and beautiful scenery where time slows down almost to a halt. La Digue is the perfect place to get back to nature and focus on the barefoot necessities.
With only one surfaced road, La Digue is deliciously backwards in coming forward and determined to stay this way for years to come. This is a huge part of its charm. If you’re looking for a laid-back break from reality in Seychelles, you can’t do better than this.
La Digue is the 4th largest island in the Seychelles
When it comes to beaches, La Digue has more than its fair share of showstoppers. Anse Source d’Argent is amongst the most photographed beaches in the world. It’s a stunner. Here, you’ll find pale pink granite boulders studded across silken powdery sands, with a clear ocean ahead of you and the untamed jungle behind. Robinson Crusoe had nothing on this. It’s the stuff of daydreams and it’s bound to make you swoon.
Praslin, one of the most popular destinations in Seychelles, offers fantastic beaches and intimate hotels and resorts. While you are sunbathing in style, don't forget to occasionally catch a glimpse of the very rare birds that live on Praslin, such as the buulbus and the little Vasa parrot. The Praslin National Park in the south of the island contains the spectacular palm forest of Vallée de Mai. Divers love the ancient coral reefs off the coast of Praslin.
The Outer Islands or coral islands extend almost to the East African coast. They are less visited than the Inner Islands, given the limited accommodation. However, there is 1 island, Alphonse, where one can bathe in luxury. Enjoy beach and sea, or join a boat trip and swim along on the waves of the Indian Ocean.
