Seychelles affords a superb romantic escape across its archipelago of 115 islands that grace the Indian Ocean, off Africa’s east coast. Beginning from Mahe – the gateway into Seychelles, embark on a cruise onboard traditional schooners, modern yachts, or local boats. Marvel at the pristine beaches, exotic vegetation, and rare native animals on these beautiful granitic islands. From pink sand beaches on La Digue and the world’s largest coconuts at Praslin island, to giant Aldabra tortoises and rare black parrots, Seychelles is a haven for nature enthusiasts. In the vast turquoise blue expanse, coral atolls are home to myriad marine life and the clear waters offer diverse watersports adventures including snorkeling, scuba diving, and salt-water fly fishing. Thanks to several protected marine sanctuaries and nature reserves, most islands here are virtually untouched wonderlands.
