Dotting the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, Seychelles is renowned for its tailor-made romantic getaways, adventure opportunities, and breath-taking natural beauty. This exceptionally picturesque archipelago is comprised of 115 coral and granite islands. Visitors can look forward to relaxing on sun-drenched beaches lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters, visiting the lively capital city of Victoria, and exploring the colourful coral underwater wonderlands encircling the islands. Other major highlights include abundant wildlife such as giant Aldabra tortoises and nesting sea turtles, indigenous plant life, and a host of tropical birds. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve and Aldabra Atoll.
This exquisite, privately owned Seychelles island is home to an eco-friendly lodge offering 11 luxurious villas, all situated a few metres from the ocean’s edge. Around the lodge – which was voted 'Number one in the World - Best of the Best' in the 2006 Conde Nast Traveller Readers Awards – granite promontories dense with palm forests rise above fine-sand beaches, and calm aquamarine bays, where coral reefs thriving with marine life make for phenomenal snorkelling and diving. The focus on conservation means that visitors to North Island will be treated to sights of rare and endangered Seychelles flora and fauna, with a number of species reintroduced to the island in recent years.
