Holidays to Seychelles

Officially titled ‘The Republic of Seychelles’, this scattered archipelago of 115 small islands is a drop of paradise in the Indian Ocean.

Graced with otherworldly beauty; tranquil beaches of silver sand lapped by turquoise water, against a backdrop of emerald palm fronds and blessed with year-round tropical sunshine kissed by trade winds offering a welcome breeze, the Seychelles are a haven for sun worshippers and beach lovers.

With only 16 of the 115 islands offering accommodation, tourism is still a relatively new concept in the Seychelles. Luxury, 5* island hideaways sit side by side with quaint guesthouses and beach lodges, offering comfort and exclusivity to suit every budget.

Channelling influences from Africa, Asia and Europe, the Seychelles compromise a colourful blend of races, cultures and religions. The diversity and natural beauty of the islands infiltrate the popular local art scene, music, dance and architecture.

Offering a wealth of things to do and places to explore all year round, the Seychelles really is the ultimate adventure holiday. Enjoy surfing, diving, hiking, bird-watching and some of the finest sailing in the world or just channel the island spirit and laze on a perfect beach and soak up the sun.
