With its palette of subtle colours, from the clear turquoise blue of the sea to the lush emerald green of its vegetation and the glowing amber of its fine sandy beaches, the archipelago of the Seychelles is like a necklace of pearls lying on the deep blue of the Indian Ocean.
Magical islands
Situated some 8000 km from Europe, the Seychelles archipelago consists of 115 islands scattered over an area of more than 400 000 square kilometres. It has more nature reserves and marine parks than anywhere else in the world.
The Seychelles is home to an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. Besides the magnificent fish of the Indian Ocean (over 800 species), there are sea turtles and flocks of brilliantly coloured birds.
The Seychelles has an abundance of fruit, plants, and rare varieties of trees.
It is also the home of the famous coco de mer, also known as the double coconut or Seychelles nut palm, known for its astonishingly suggestive shapes ...

Warm hospitality and a friendly mood …
The Seychelles, a paradise of unspoilt nature, is a young Republic (it became independent in 1976) and has about 75,000 inhabitants who speak English and French in addition to Creole.
Off the beaten track in the Seychelles, you will not only discover and fall in love with its scenic beauty but also a Creole people known for their warm hospitality, exotic cuisine and cheerful temperament. This is the ideal place for a romantic swim, sunbathing on deserted beaches or nature walks in a heavenly setting!
A fabulous seabed. As the water around the islands is crystal clear you can go deep sea diving all year round. However, in order to protect this precious environment, diving in the Seychelles is strictly regulated and harpoon fishing is of course forbidden.
