Holidays & Hotels in the Seychelles

The Seychelles are an archipelago, lying just four degrees south of the equator. You have to go and experience it for yourself to realise why this has been the retreat of those in the know for many years. Among the 115 granite and coral islands of the Seychelles you will find the luxuriant, tropical paradise. A thousand miles from anywhere, its dazzling beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean make up the Seychelles. This is a nature lovers paradise - a gentle world where nothing is harmful, but rare birds, plants, giant tortoises, turtles and tropical fish are bountiful. There are more shades of blue and green in the Seychelles than it is possible to imagine. Islands here are green and lush with a very laid-back pace to island life. You cannot fail to fall in love with the powder fine sand, warm turquoise waters, verdant forests and hills with their banana and coconut plantations, and a unique, rare and fragile paradise that beckons you to come back time and time again. Forming a backdrop to the relaxed tropical image of the Seychelles are the rhythms, colours and flavours of Africa and gris gris , the local brand of black magic. An idyllic retreat where you can relax, sit back and rejuvenate. Enjoy the snorkelling and diving or perhaps a little sailing around the archipelago. Time is on your side in the Seychelles so enjoy it as you wish!   Visa and Foreign Office Information Health Information
