Also on offer is an amazing degree of
diversity which takes in the contrast
between 41 towering granite isles
and the 74 shimmering sand cays,
reef islands and atolls of the Outer
Islands while the multi-ethnic roots
of its relatively young society lend
themselves to a varied and vibrant
culture with all its people and major
religions living beside one another
in perfect harmony. The diversity
also extends to contrasting styles
of architecture and beyond to the
delicious, Seychellois Creole cuisine
with its magical blend of European,
Indian and Chinese culinary influences.
No matter which island you have
hopped across to, you will find
yourself spoilt when it comes to things
to do. There is a wide choice of world-class fishing, sailing
and diving as well as spa & wellness holidays, honeymoons
& romance, trekking, island-hopping & golf. All of these can
be enjoyed from an equally diverse array of accommodation
options that includes the ultimate in pampering at exclusive
5-star resorts and island hideaways, the Creole intimacy of the
smaller hotel and guesthouse and the flexibility of any number
of self-caterings. These are the stepping stones to your unique
experience of Paradise, where the innate tranquility of the
islands forms the ideal backdrop against which to recalibrate
mind, body and soul and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime.

In a fast-paced world, we so often crave an escape, an
existence and an experience where we can leave our cares
behind and reconnect with Mother Nature. Somewhere
we can regroup, relax and refresh, waving goodbye to our
feelings of tiredness and daily stresses. Somewhere with
the space to breathe the purest air and ample room to stroll
the trackless, powder-soft sands of breathtaking beaches. A
place for the senses to feast on the endless delight of fresh
experiences.
Revered as the site of the Garden of Eden, Seychelles
has truly been blessed by creation. Against the backdrop
of its unique island beauty, it is a place where harmony,
tranquillity and Nature at its very best will conspire to leave
you with the memories of a lifetime.
