A Tropical Haven: Discover Why Seychelles Is The Ultimate Holiday Destination

Luxury Redefined: Indulge In Exquisite Resorts And Hospitality In Seychelles

Seychelles is a popular holiday destination that is found off the east coast of Africa. It is renowned for its powder-white beaches and turquoise waters. There are, however, other perks to living in a 115-island archipelago in the western  Indian Ocean. The environment is so green, so colourful, that when you travel to the northern hemisphere you wonder if the trees need some green paint added to their leaves. Remember green is also one of the most relaxing colors. It can help you restore your energy. Seychelles should definitely be on your bucket list!

Some of the main Islands in Seychelles include:

Mahé Island

Mahe Island is home to 80 percent of Seychelles’ population, although, with the island’s leisurely pace, that can be difficult to believe. While it draws visitors with crescents of sugary-soft sand, this is the island for those seeking a bit of exploration. There’s the tiny capital of Victoria, botanical gardens and a hotchpotch that includes a Hindu temple, a Roman Catholic cathedral and Victorian architecture. With the country’s only international airport, this is likely to be your first port of call.

 

Praslin Island

It’s the second-largest island. Often called the “Garden of Eden”, the island contains many of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles. Due to the small size of Praslin and the easy-to-use bus network, there’s no need to shell out money for a rental car.

A Visit To Praslin Island In Seychelles

 

La Digue

It is the smallest and the one with the slowest and most relaxing pace of the three main islands of the Seychelles. If you’re searching for silence or nature tours, then search no further than La Digue. There are no busses, only a few cars (which are taxis) and virtually no street lights. The only thing you need is a bike which can be rented at your accommodation or at the port.
