The Seychelles are a collection of 115 paradise-like islands, each with a distinct charm. Meander through the tropical forests on Cousin Island, home to a specialist nature reserve where native species thrive. Gaze above you as native birds including the sunbird and blue pigeon glide between the trees. Despite offering unrivalled tranquility, the Seychelles also cater to adventure-seekers, with Beau Vallon beach hosting an array of watersports against an incredible backdrop. Boat tours allow effortless island-hopping to compare the powder-soft sand and crystal waters of countless beaches. Sample the freshest seafood from the Indian Ocean, along with other local specialities infused with eclectic spices, followed by typically decadent desserts. Observe giant tortoises and sea turtles first-hand, or snorkel amongst local marine species at Curieuse Marine National Park. This paradise-like oasis also counts the incredibly rare coco de mer palm tree amongst its spectacular array of flora and fauna.
