The lush tropical vegetation of the Seychelles supports a very special biodiversity and is globally recognised as one of Earth’s biodiversity hotspots.
The islands are home to the Giant Tortoise and the legendary Coco-de-mer palm, which can only be found in the Seychelles. If you’re lucky you may catch a glimpse of a Gardiner’s Seychelles frog, one of the world’s smallest frogs, also endemic to the Seychelles, with adults reaching just 1cm.
Whilst there is plenty to enjoy on the three largest islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, be sure to spend some time island-hopping to enjoy the unspoilt tropical paradise of some of the smaller islands.
A highlight is a day trip to the private island, Grande Soeur, which allows a small number of day visitors, where sea turtles roam the island and is home to tall palms, a beautiful pristine beach and impressive granite boulders.
Home to some of the world’s most exclusive hotels, beautiful beaches and the perfect destination for dining Alfresco under the stars, the Seychelles is not surprisingly a popular honeymoon destination, but it also has some wonderful family resorts and is a great destination to combine with a safari given its proximity to Africa.
