Discover stunning tropical islands on a Seychelles holiday
The Seychelles islands lie spattered across the Indian Ocean as though flicked by an artist’s brush. Each is a drop of green, punctuated by grey granite outcrops and rimmed in white sand. The winds blow softly through the coconut fronds; the frangipani smells sweetly at nightfall, and dramatic violet and orange sunsets pattern the sky to create a romantic holiday setting.
Indeed, the Seychelles islands paint a very beautiful picture of what can only be described as a stunning destination. Furthermore, there is a plethora of attractions to explore during your visit here. Discover the pearls of the Seychelles’ archipelago – la Digue, Mahe, Praslin and Silhouette. In addition, explore the islands and all the wonders of the ocean; ending each evening with fine cuisine overlooking the sparkling water and staying in a luxurious hotel.
At 59 square miles, Mahe is by far the largest island. It is home to the capital of the Seychelles, Victoria, the international airport, fishing and commercial ports, most of the Seychelles’ population, luxurious hotels and four casinos.
It is also worth a visit to Praslin – the universal blueprint for the perfect tropical island. Fantastically-shaped huge granite boulders dot this idyllic Seychelles holiday island, coral reefs teem with over 900 species of fish, and living coral and jewel-toned shells paint a living seascape.
It is interesting to know that most of Praslin’s interior is virgin forest, and is the only place where the coco-de-mer palm is found. Its nut, the curious pelvis-shaped fruit, is thought to be from the tree of knowledge, a powerful aphrodisiac from the Garden of Eden – so the Seychelles are the obvious choice for a romantic holiday.
As it goes, La Digue is the world’s most perfect place to sit back and do nothing on a romantic holiday – just enjoy the tropical island setting of the Seychelles. This little island is a photographer’s dream and its beaches have starred in adverts, fashion shoots and honeymoon holiday snapshots.
The final recommended island to explore in the Seychelles is Silhouette. While its beaches are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, it’s all too easy to get lost walking through these wild and primitive forests. Silhouette was thought to be home to Hodoul, one of the Indian Ocean’s most notorious pirates, and some believe his treasure is still buried here.
As such, this historical destination has plenty to offer, so take the time and explore one of the world’s most glorious islands with an unforgettable Seychelles holiday. And, it is also good to know that finding accommodation should not be too difficult, with there being many opportunities to stay in some of the Seychelles’ most luxurious hotels, which can only add to this tropical experience.
