Luxury Seychelles Holidays

  1. Overview
  2. More Information

The Seychelles archipelago lies four degrees south of the equator and, as the islanders proudly proclaim, it's 'a thousand miles from anywhere'. There are many stunning destinations for the perfect Seychelles holiday, from private islands to luxury spas, and settings such as jungle hillsides or breathtaking coastlines.

Over one 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 misty forests the exquisite wild orchids, epitomising Seychelles' fragile, rare beauty.

Where In The World
The islands of the Seychelles are located to the north-east of Madagascar and about 1,600 kilometres east of Kenya. The nation is an archipelago of 155 tropical islands, the majority of which are small and uninhabited.
