Since that distant time when Seychelles’ 115 granite and coral islands became scattered over a secluded corner of the Indian Ocean, they have remained sanctuaries for much more than some of the rarest species of flora and fauna on earth.
As the highest peaks of the submerged remnants of the super-continent Gondwanaland, Seychelles represents the most ancient mid-ocean islands in the world, a true lasting legacy to the earth’s very beginnings.
Like an armada of Noah’s arks, these sparkling islands have safely cocooned not only their unique life forms, but a sense of belonging to a bygone age. One where tranquillity and simplicity can still be found and innocence rediscovered, and where a diverse people share the warmth that only its young and tiny island communities can know.
This remote archipelago has been the source of numerous myths and legends since it was first settled in the late 18th century. Chief among these tales is that of the Vallée de Mai, one of Seychelles’ two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and home to the legendary coco-de-mer, which some believe could be the original site of the biblical Garden of Eden.
Traditionally associated with the most beautiful beaches on the planet, framed by timeless granite boulders, the Seychelles islands are at the top of the world’s list of romantic destinations, perfect for that lazy tropical retreat for two. But the archipelago has even more to offer in addition to the ultimate sun, sand and sea holiday. For the modern traveller, these islands represent escape and an opportunity to recalibrate one’s soul in harmony with the primal essence of nature.
For those wishing to do and see it all, Seychelles offers superb sailing, diving and snorkelling where relatively few have ventured, excellent fishing and wonderful opportunities to discover the islands’ unique ecosystems on mountain hikes and nature trails, all enjoyable in a climate of almost perpetual summer. Island hopping by plane, boat or helicopter will allow you to discover each island’s individual character, as well as a cuisine to seduce the most demanding palate and the genuine, heart-warming welcome of the Seychellois people.
Amidst this glimmering archipelago, spread across a million miles of azure ocean, an unforgettable journey awaits those eager to finally discover a place that’s truly different and magical. A place like no other and another world entirely.
ISLAND GETAWAYS
A total of 16 islands, including 12 island getaways with only a single lodge per island, provide an authentic tropical island experience and offer a range of accommodation choices from the homely comforts of rustic beachside bungalows to the pampered privacy and luxury of 5-star resorts.

In Seychelles, a hotel offering more than 24 rooms is considered large although you will find a few hotels offering 100 rooms or more. All are favourably located on or close to a stunning beach and offer most of the usual amenities such as a choice of bars and restaurants, water sport facilities and programmes of evening entertainment.
A variety of smaller hotels, each with its own character and charm propose simpler comforts, typical of a Creole family guesthouse, evoking an intimate, home-away-from-home feeling.
