About Seychelles
The Seychelles — an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean — are the epitome of a tropical paradise. The granite islands of Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue boast beaches that look like they are straight out of a picture book: smooth granite rocks, powdery white sand, and crystal-clear turquoise water. Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue is considered one of the most photographed beaches in the world. The Vallée de Mai on Praslin is home to the legendary Coco de Mer — the largest nut in the world, which only grows here. The Seychelles are a pioneer in nature conservation: almost half of the land area is protected, and Aldabra is home to the world's largest population of giant tortoises. The Creole culture, a mix of African, French, and Indian influences, is reflected in the music (Moutya drums), cuisine, and relaxed way of life.
