Tropical Escape to Seychelles

A paradise of beaches and lush nature.

Discover the exotic beauty of the Seychelles.

Seychelles: Dive into an unforgettable exotic dream

Thanks to their isolation, the 115 islands of the archipelago have managed to remain wild and authentic, far from mass tourism. The main island Mahé, which is 27 km long, and its capital Victoria can be easily explored on foot or by bike at the pace of the sun. Here, you can enjoy every sunset from the world's most beautiful beaches, with a cocktail or a bottle of SeyBrew, the national beer, in hand. However, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the trip to visit several islands or try scuba diving to admire the marine life in the turquoise or crystal-clear waters of the Seychelles. By organizing your trip with a local agency, you will likely succeed in choosing which islands and paradise beaches to prioritize, or you can opt for a tour that takes you from island to island, from one white sandy beach to another.

A terrestrial paradise with a thousand wonders

A postcard-perfect destination, ideal for honeymoons and dream vacations, the Seychelles truly deserve their reputation. A tailor-made trip to the Seychelles will delight all fans of relaxation, diving, swimming, or fishing. These paradise islands offer breathtaking landscapes, white sandy beaches, and turquoise waters that invite relaxation and escape. Whether you wish to explore the richness of marine life or simply bask in the sun, the Seychelles are an unforgettable destination.

Must-See Attractions

On the island of Mahé, expect to discover a multitude of beautiful beaches with turquoise waters and paradisiacal landscapes. You will be spoilt for choice when deciding where to swim. Among the must-see beaches are Anse à la Mouche, Anse aux Poules Bleues, Anse aux Pins, Anse Baleine, and Anse Bazarca. The foundation of Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, dates back to the time of French colonists in 1778. Under British rule, the city was renamed Victoria in honor of the queen. The British architectural influence is still visible today, notably with the Clock Tower, a replica of the one on Vauxhall Bridge in London. The Morne Seychellois National Park is the highest point of the archipelago with its 906 meters of altitude. Its primary forest extends over nearly 20% of Mahé's territory, offering an ambiance reminiscent of Jurassic Park. The park offers a dozen different routes for exceptional excursions and hikes through lush vegetation.

The Seychelles, Hidden Treasures to Discover

Located on the island of Praslin, the Vallée de Mai is a national park in the Seychelles classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This lush forest is home to incredible biodiversity in its fauna and flora. One can observe rare Seychelles birds and find coco de mer, coconuts with suggestive shapes produced by sea coconut palms. Curieuse Island, situated north of Praslin Island, hosts a significant colony of giant tortoises, some of which are over a century old. This is sure to delight nature lovers and turtle enthusiasts during a stay in the Seychelles! 5 km from Mahé, the Sainte-Anne Marine National Park comprises a small group of six preserved islands that harbor a unique concentration of marine ecosystems. Snorkeling in the park guarantees the chance to admire stunning marine life and exceptional sea creatures!

A Vibrant Festival and a Unique Culture

The first country, after Haiti, to make "Creole language" their official language, the Seychelles proudly embrace their Creole identity. This is particularly evident during the Festival Kreol, the 33rd edition of which took place from October 23 to 29, 2019. This festival celebrates all aspects of "Creole culture": theater, song, cuisine and, of course, "the language." A colorful language, often easy for French speakers to decipher: "fer kouyon" means to act foolishly, "fer zig zig" means to make love, "kourpa" (short step) for snail or "pti parol dymiel" (little word of honey) for sweet talk. It is a language of atmosphere that matches with a characterful architecture, illustrated by the magnificent heritage of Creole houses.

A Francophone Paradise in the Heart of the Indian Ocean

French is the third official language of the Seychelles archipelago. However, only a portion of the Seychellois population is proficient in this language inherited from the first settlers. Through places with evocative names such as Roche Gratte-Fesse or Chemin Mon Plaisir, and islands like Longue, Ronde, Moyenne, as well as Grande Sœur and Petite Sœur, French toponymy is omnipresent. Seychellois surnames, of French origin, add a poetic touch: Florence Dodo, Rosina Bibi, Augustin Banane, Mariette Ladouce. Each year, a Francophonie festival in March celebrates this cultural richness thanks to the Alliance Française. Even those who do not speak French fluently make efforts to communicate with French speakers.
