Seychelles

1 guide

Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 granite and coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, where palm-fringed beaches meet prehistoric giant tortoises and some of the world’s rarest bird species. Unlike many tropical destinations, its national parks and marine reserves cover nearly half the land area, making it a genuine haven for nature lovers rather than just a beach resort getaway.
