Situated East of Africa, Seychelles is an archipelago made of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery, Seychelles offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Why Visit The Seychelles
THE BEACHES
Fine white sand, turquoise waters, and a year-round tropical climate makes the Seychelles a perfect destination for relaxation. With crystal clear waters and stunning coral reefs, these beaches are a paradise for snorkelers and scuba divers.
EXOTIC FLORA AND FAUNA
The archipelago is renowned for its unique biodiversity, with many rare and endangered species found nowhere else on earth, like the giant tortoises (that can only be found in here and in The Galapagos), the Coco de Mer palm, which produces the heaviest seed in the world and some species of pitcher plants.
ACCOMMODATION
Just a little bit more expensive than the Mauritius, the Seychelles offers amazing accommodations (luxury resorts, villas, apartments and lodges). Isolation and a pristine environment all over. For the ultimate luxury experience, visitors can rent their own private island.
THE FOOD
The cuisine of Seychelles is a fusion of African, European, and Asian flavors, with a focus on fresh seafood and local spices. Visitors can enjoy a variety of dishes, from grilled fish and seafood curries to coconut-based desserts and tropical fruit juices.

ELECTRICITY

CURRENCY
The Seychellois Rupee is the official currency, and you can online acquire this currency once you are in the island. The main islands have ATM’s and exchange houses where you can get this currency, but foreign currencies (like Euros and Dollars) are accepted around as well.
SAFETY
Seychelles is a peaceful country, and is usually trouble-free. Pickpockets and robberies do happen, but they are non-violent the majority of the time. You should take sensible precautions to safeguard yourself and your possessions. Common sense and safety precautions are enough.
