About Seychelles

115 islands in the heart of the Indian Ocean — pristine beaches, ancient forests, vibrant Creole culture and world-leading conservation.

The destination

Why the world loves Seychelles

Iconic beaches

Anse Source d'Argent, Anse Lazio, Beau Vallon — among the most photographed beaches on earth.

Nature & conservation

Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Vallée de Mai and Aldabra Atoll — and about half the country's land protected.

Creole culture

A warm blend of African, European and Asian influences — in music, dance, and cuisine.

Island hopping

Mahé, Praslin, La Digue and beyond — each island with its own character, easily explored by boat or air.
