A cluster of islands in the idyllic Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are a vision of paradise which make the perfect setting for a luxury beach holiday. Popular amongst honeymooners for its magical setting, each of the country’s 115 islands is packed with gorgeous pale-sanded beaches and turquoise waters from which to enjoy a cocktail or a coconut in the year-round sunshine.
The main islands of Mahé, La Digue and Praslin also offer a chance to explore local life and sample the cultural diversity of the Seychelles, whilst Cousin Island is packed with exotic wildlife, including turtles, lizards and the warbler birds.
