Praslin Luxury Holidays

nsophisticated and unspoilt, the beautiful archipelago of the Seychelles lies four degrees south of the equator and, as the islanders proudly proclaim, `a thousand miles from anywhere'. Over a hundred islands are scattered in random perfection throughout the warm tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, which in centuries past attracted pirates seeking priceless booty. Today's treasure however lies in the powdery white sands, the spectacular coral reefs, the verdant hillsides festooned with coconut, cinnamon and banana plantations, and high up in the mist forests, the exquisite wild orchids, epitomising the islands' fragile, rare beauty.
