If the Indian Ocean is indeed the deep blue ruler of the world's most beautiful islands then the Seychelles (also known as the Republique des Seychelles) are the brightest and most expensive emeralds in its crown. Hidden discreetly from the modern world, the 115 islands that make up the Seychelles lie strewn across the warm Indian Ocean in a scattered pattern of brilliant green and white.
As the oldest islands on earth, the Seychelles offer travellers an exotic blend of unspoilt beauty and modern luxury. Silver white beaches fringed with palm trees, secluded coves and superb Seychelles accommodation greet all those who land on these tropical island shores. A long tradition of providing excellent service in sublime settings ensures that your hotel or resort will add to a wonderful Indian Ocean experience.
The archipelago is home to the world's most beautiful beaches and yet a Seychelles holiday is so much more than just indulgence in sun and sea.
Under the turquoise waters is a marine ecosystem that offers some of the best diving in the world. Coral reefs stretch out to sea inviting snorkellers to colour their day with vibrant coral and darting fish; fishermen arrive back on shore, happily exhausted from trying to best the game and fly-fishing world records held here.
A simple stroll down the beach takes on new meaning in the Seychelles. You'll be alone for miles with white sand sifting through your toes and the big blue sea beside you.
On the main islands, the Seychellois go about their daily lives at a relaxed and chilled out pace. Creole culture is alive and well here and can be savoured in the exotic food and felt in the warm and friendly nature of its people.
Whether you choose to immerse yourself in the slow steady pace of tropical island life for a few days, or prefer to have an entire island to yourself the Seychelles has a tropical hideaway to suit every tropical twitch.
