Seychelles

Seychelles …
Situated in warm azure waters of the Indian Ocean well outside the cyclone belt, Seychelles boasts one of the most pristine natural environments on the planet and offers a holiday experience that represents a powerful antidote to the demands of every day living.

Seychelles

With 115 islands scattered over 1,400,000 square kilometres of warm crystal clear waters, Seychelles offers an ever-expanding kaleidoscope of experiences to the visitor seeking quality and diversity. From sculpted granite boulders, coral reefs, untouched forests and bird sanctuaries to private resorts and exotic hideaways, visitors are ‘spoiled for choice’ when it comes to visiting easily accessible island venues.

Seychelles ’ vibrant but tranquil island society also nurtures a pristine ecosystem that harbours flora and fauna so spectacular that almost 50% of land area has been set aside as natural reserves. Renowned for having some of the most breath-taking beaches on earth, Seychelles also offers world-beating opportunities for diving, sailing, fishing, trekking and island-hopping.

In a resounding expression of confidence in the country’s future, leading foreign airlines such as Emirates and Qatar have, during the course of the past six months, commenced operations to Seychelles with more airlines scheduled to come on line before long. Through their legendary marketing prowess, an increasing number of potential visitors are being introduced to the magic of these tropical island jewels.

Echo ing this growing belief in Seychelles, such prestigious hotel companies as Banyan Tree, Constance, Le Méridien, and Taj already enjoy a presence on the islands with others such as Four Seasons, Southern Sun, the Crown and Champa Group, Universal Enterprises and Per Aquum set to follow suit in the near future with an enticing assortment of accommodation products and services.

We remain confident that this groundswell of interest and investment in the future of Seychelles ’ tourism, combined with Government’s determination to create a user-friendly, enabling environment on the ground, will usher in a new era of promise and prosperity for our beautiful islands that will allow us to fulfil our collective dream of becoming an outstanding world tourism destination.
