The Seychelles island is a collection of over 100 islands situated south of the equator, approximately 1,000 miles off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. There are two types of islands in the Seychelles – Granite and Coral. The granite islands are the most scenic and huge granite boulders line pristine beaches. As lush tropical vegetation contrasts white beaches and crystal clear turquoise seas, the granite islands are amongst the most beautiful in the world.

Exquisite ribbons of sand lapped by turquoise waters and backed by lush hills and palm trees. Beyond the beach, diving and snorkelling are brilliant in the warm waters amid abundant marine life, while few places on the planet do ocean-side luxury quite like the Seychelles. Mahé is the largest island and entry point to the Seychelles, with some fabulous resorts, restaurants and beaches, not to mention the small capital city of Victoria. But it's also the busiest island, with glorious Praslin and La Digue a short boat ride away. Even further out, there are real lost-world islands to be found.

We've listed below some of the famous activities around the island.
