SEYCHELLES
Description.
Looking for untouched natural beauty, pristine beaches, lush tropical vegetation, and sea that is so blue it matches the sky? You’ll find it on holiday in Seychelles. Each of the 115 tropical islands that make up Seychelles is unique. Its capital, the island of Mahé boasts 65 beaches and lush inland forests. On the unspoilt island of La Digue, there are no cars – you travel by oxcart. You can enjoy solitude and privacy on the spectacular islands of Desroches and Silhouette. Then there’s Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on the island of Praslin, home to the legendary Coco de Mer palm tree. And let’s not forget the excellent scuba diving on offer on stunning Cerf Island.
