Visit Seychelles

The diversity of the Seychelles landscape rushes up to greet you the moment your aircraft begins its descent and promises a long list of things to do.
Seychelles is famous for having some of the best beaches in the world, pristine and uncrowded. Some are framed by age-old granite boulders. Others offer powder-soft sands, turquoise waters and sublime opportunities for swimming, snorkeling or pure relaxation.

Island Hopping

There are great opportunities for island-hopping between the 16 islands that currently offer accommodation. These range from sumptuous 5-star resorts to rustic island lodges and cozy beachside bungalows. On your way, you will discover such gems as the legendary Vallée de Mai, home to the legendary Coco-de-Mer.

Whatever your choice is, a regular network of air and sea transport operating out of the principal island of Mahé will cater for most itineraries. Ferry services, domestic flights and even helicopter transfers are also available on a daily basis to many of the islands.

Whether you choose a day excursion to one of the many Inner granitic islands, glass-bottom boating or an extended stay on one of our exotic island hideaways, Seychelles has something exceptional to offer.

Attractions

You will also find proud national monuments, beautiful Creole houses, artists' studios, national reserves and marine parks, as well as breathtaking natural wonders above and beneath the waves.

There's also golf, horse-riding and guided nature tours where to enjoy some of the rarest species of flora and fauna on earth. Not forgetting the mellow Seychelles nightlife where you can take in a casino, some local bars and fine restaurants offering unforgettable Creole and international cuisine.

Art

With such natural beauty of the Seychelles, it is with no surprise to discover that it has become the home and inspiration to numerous artists. The majority of the artists live on Mahe, but galleries can be found on the other islands as well. Whilst touring the island of Mahe, you will often see signposts indicating a gallery or artist's home, stop and have a look, you will be made welcome and are under no obligation to buy, indeed the artists will be happy simply to discuss their art and life with you.

One can buy originals and prints from studios such as Michael Adams, George Camille, Nigel Henri and Christine Harter just to name a few.  Sculptures from artist such as Egbert Marday and Tom Bowers are also available.
