THE SEYCHELLES ISLANDS

A R o m a n t i c H a v e n

World-famous beaches, spellbinding sunsets and wildly luxurious resorts are only the beginning when it comes to the Seychelles. Ever-popular as a honeymoon destination, this cluster of idyllic islands in the Indian Ocean are bequeathed with nature’s gifts and adorned with a bedazzlement of resorts that cater perfectly for couples seeking romance and seclusion.

The 115 granite and coralline islands that make up the country are scattered like diamonds in the night sky across the warm watersof the Indian Ocean. Mahé is the largest and most developed; it offers activities in abundance, and the tiny capital, Victoria, is enthralling to explore on foot, with its medley of different cultures, architecture and heritage.

The staggering beauty the Seychelles are famed for can be uncovered wherever you go, but we’d recommend a visit to the island of La Digue, where you’ll lay eyes on Anse Source d’Argent, one of the world’s most photographed beaches, where granite boulders rise dramatically from powdery white sands.

Praslin is just as enthralling; it’s here you’ll discover the prehistoric splendor of the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai National Park, and you can dip into translucent waters where all manner of marine life, including hawksbill turtles and stingrays, occupy a majestic underwater realm.
