Seychelles

Comprising of 115 islands, the Seychelles archipelago is an unspoilt tropical paradise, perfect for a safari beach combination. Expect powder soft white beaches and glistening, azure waters at the original Garden of Eden.

Our Take

With over 115 tiny white islands glistening like pearls in the brilliant-turquoise Indian Ocean, the Seychelles brings a whole new meaning to the word ‘idyllic.’ Main islands Mahe and Praslin offer high-octane glamour alongside the endlessly perfect beaches, but there’s also more to the archipelago than first meets the eye.

For back-to-nature experiences, try Fregate Island with its jumbo tortoises shuffling along the beach, Desroches for the profusions of wild and colourful orchids or La Digue to spot the aptly names Paradise Fly-catchers.

We love:
Crystal clear waters, powdery white beaches and lush tropical vegetation make the Seychelles a perfect post safari retreat.
Key locations:
Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, Bird Island, Denis Island, Silhouette Island.
Key experiences:
Hiking in the National Parks, island hopping, snorkelling, sailing, diving, zip lining, rock climbing, or simply sunbathing!
