Inimitable beauty and striking serenity is what will welcome you to the Seychelles, Positioned 4 degrees below the equator and a thousand miles from Africa and encircled by tropic seas of the purest blue, there are 115 islands scattered like pearls in the Indian Ocean, some resemble tiny trinkets of pure white sand while others are pierced by verdant mountain rainforests.
Mahe which is 17 miles long by 5 miles wide & Praslin are the two main islands of the Seychelles with 90% of the nations population living on Mahe, with such a palette of beautiful islands to choose from why not experience more than one by island hopping or combining an African safari to make the perfect two centre retreat.
