One hundred and fifteen islands basking in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are paradise. The sun beats down - temperatures range between 24 and 32 degrees - the beaches are icing-sugar soft and the waters are turquoise, clear and teeming with marine life.
Of the 115 islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are the main islands, the ones most travellers booking cheap flights to the Seychelles visit. Other islands with accommodation include Bird Island, Cerf, Chauve Souris, Cousine, Denis Island, Silhouette and Ste. Anne.
The islands without accommodation, which include Anonyme, Aride, Conception and Moyenne, are popular for day trips, snorkelling, diving and wild-life watching.
The Seychelles boast the Vallée de Mai on Praslin, once thought to be the Garden of Eden, where the suggestively shaped Coco-de-mer nut grows, and Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll, home to the world's largest population of giant tortoises.
