Welcome to Seychelles

Scattered like emeralds across the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is a paradise of powdery white beaches, granite peaks, and dazzling coral reefs. This 115-island archipelago, located off the east coast of Africa, is a sanctuary for rare wildlife, lush rainforests, and a rich Creole heritage.

Don’t miss:

• Anse Source d’Argent – One of the world’s most photographed beaches, famous for its sculpted granite boulders and shallow, crystal-clear waters.
• Vallée de Mai – A UNESCO-listed nature reserve on Praslin, home to the rare coco de mer palm and a prehistoric forest that feels straight out of Jurassic Park.
• Aldabra Atoll – The world’s largest raised coral atoll and a sanctuary for giant tortoises and vibrant marine life.
• La Digue – A laid-back island where bicycles and ox-carts rule the roads, and untouched beaches invite slow island living.
• Diving & snorkeling – Swim with sea turtles, manta rays, and colourful reef fish in the pristine waters of Sainte Anne Marine Park and beyond.

Culinary culture

Expect an abundance of fresh seafood, fragrant curries, and exotic fruits. Must-try dishes include grilled red snapper, octopus curry in coconut milk, and ladob, a sweet dessert made from plantains or cassava. Don’t forget to sip on some bacca, a local sugarcane rum, as you watch the sunset over the ocean.

Dive deeper

Beyond its idyllic beaches, Seychelles has a fascinating cultural tapestry. The nation’s Creole heritage is celebrated through music, dance, and festivals, such as Festival Kreol, a lively annual event showcasing traditional storytelling, drumming, and folk performances. Visit the Mission Lodge on Mahé for breathtaking views and a glimpse into Seychelles’ colonial past, or explore Aride Island, a lesser-known nature reserve teeming with rare seabirds.
