Seychelles

The Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands, and a first trip centres on three granite islands that sit close together but feel very different. Mahé has the capital Victoria, the Morne Seychellois mountains, the lively sands of Beau Vallon and the wild surf of Anse Intendance. Praslin holds the Vallée de Mai UNESCO palm forest and the white crescent of Anse Lazio, and La Digue offers bicycles, ox carts and the boulder-strewn Anse Source d'Argent. Marine park boat trips and island-hopping day tours tie them together. This guide books the headline experiences properly, with Viator options where they exist and official links for the rest, and matches you to hotels across all three islands, from Four Seasons villas at Petite Anse to a practical lodge in Grand'Anse.
