Situated off the East Coast of Africa, the Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands and is renowned for having some of the most spectacular beaches in the world with their azure blue waters and white sand. Famous beaches include the Anse Source d'Argent, secluded Anse Marron, Anse Takamaka and the picturesque Anse Lazio. Mahé, a hub for visiting the other islands, is home to capital Victoria. Other islands include Praslin and La Digue. The various small islands making up the Seychelles offer soft sand, turquoise waters, supreme tranquility and exotic resorts. Revel in the coral-colored sunsets while you enjoy pampering at the spa, indulge in gourmet cuisine or just relax in your well-appointed room. The Seychelles is also considered Honeymooners’ paradise.

It also has the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park and beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka. There are also great coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as giant Aldabra tortoises, a very rare animal. You can also embark on aquatic adventures such as surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kite-surfing, parasailing, kayaking or night fishing. Healthy reefs, canyon-like terrain, shallow shelves, exciting shipwrecks, impressive granite outcrops and splendid coral gardens give divers and snorkelers almost instant access to a variety of environments. The water is warm and clear, and teeming with life from the tiniest juvenile tropical to the largest pelagic creature, including whale sharks. Whether you're an experienced diver or slapping on fins for the first time, there are sites for all levels.
