Seychelles Serenity

The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa. It’s home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as rare animals such as giant Aldabra tortoises. You may consider combining an Africa Safari in nearby Kenya, and finish off your trip by spending a few days in mesmerizingly beautiful Seychelles. Its beaches are diverse – some desert-like and sprawling; others more dramatic with huge granite boulders and palm forests. Mahé is the main island, home to the Seychelles’ charming colonial capital, Victoria. Lace up your hiking shoes and explore the upland trails; snorkel and sail in pristine blue waters; indulge in the local culture with a cooking class, or simply relax.

Known as the base for water sports, Beau Vallon beach is the most popular Seychelles beach. With a wide bay, and calm, gentle waters, it is one of the best beaches for swimming.
