Introduction
| It is not surprising that the Seychelles has a reputation as a playground of the rich and famous. The archipelago off the east coast of Africa is made up of over 100 islands with fine white sands scattered with granite boulders and amid turquoise seas. Vacations in the Seychelles make the perfect tropical island break and you will find plenty of activities to entertain yourself through the day, especially diving, fishing and sailing. Accommodations on the Seychelles has traditionally consisted of exclusive island resorts, and these still rank amongst the best in the world. But recently more affordable guesthouse accommodations has become available on the main islands. The majority of the population lives on Mahe and Praslin, the two main islands. Here you can enjoy a mix of African and European influences and, of course, beautiful beaches. From both islands it is easy and enjoyable to go island hopping around the archipelago. |
