Where harmony, tranquillity and nature at its very best will conspire to leave you with the memories of a lifetime...

Multi Island Destination

Seychelles enjoys massive diversity of islands: 41 steep, forested granite outcrops reaching from sapphire sea to cobalt skies – some so tall that they even have their own mist forests, clinging in a gossamer mist to flora sometimes so rare that it is found nowhere else on the planet.

Then there are the 74 coralline outer islands, reef islands, sand cays and shimmering atolls where surf appears to be strung like pearls on invisible threads.

A Sanctuary To Many Endemic Species

Seychelles boasts two UNESCO World Heritage sites. The extraordinary primeval valley known as the Vallée de Mai, where grows the legendary, double-lobed coconut the Coco-de-Mer. And magnificent Aldabra: the world’s largest raised coral atoll with its population of some 150,000 giant land tortoises and many other treasures besides.

Vast Marine Life

Marine life in Seychelles is prolific where as much as 800 species have been spotted on a single dive. Major actors in the underwater ballet include: shark, turtle, rays, octopi, dolphins and even whales.

Unrivalled Creole Cuisine

Eating out in Seychelles is an exercise in diversity in itself, covering everything from sustainable practices of fine-dining in exclusive restaurants of 5-star hotel resorts and opulent island hideaways to dipping into the street food available at night bazaars discovering the delights of whole baked fish, blood sausage, pork spare ribs, barbecued sweet potatoes, pork crackling, cassava chips, baked breadfruit and so much more.

Multi-Ethnic Culture

All these cultural elements have blended now, and are no longer distinctly French, or African or Indian, or Chinese; just Creole! The multi-ethnic roots of its relatively young society lend themselves to a varied and vibrant culture with all its people and major religions living beside one another in perfect harmony.
