Ever dream of island paradise, of a sundowner on a secluded beach or on a rocky outcrop with no single soul in sight? More than a hundred islands are scattered across the tropical Indian Ocean, a thousand miles from anywhere, and form a lush wilderness of pristine palm-fringed beaches and unspoiled coral reefs - when you’re in search of a holiday with a feeling of isolation in an unspoilt paradise, this is the ultimate choice. Think of the old Bounty ad and you’ve got the Seychelles – swaying palm trees, powder white beaches and gentle turquoise sea meeting far in the horizon with the azure blue sky. In all shapes and sizes from those you can walk round in an hour to others best explored over a number of days, the Seychelles Islands are some of the most beautiful in the world.
In addition to offering fantastic snorkelling, diving and sailing, the Seychelles are an exciting fishing destination for both experienced and novice fishermen, boasting some of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Spectacular trophy sailfish and marlin together with tuna, shark and giant barracuda can be pursued on a variety of charter boats and fishing excursions suitable for all abilities.
The hotels are generally small and sensitive to their surroundings with the main emphasis being on relaxation, informality and simplicity. Ideal for a romantic getaway, the Seychelles can be appreciated in a long relaxing holiday at a single resort, or explore further island-hopping by plane or yacht.
