The perfect honeymoon

An archipelago of striking beauty, the Seychelles comprise 115 delightful islands scattered across the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Two types of islands can be distinguished: the granitic ones (or inner islands), and the atolls and coral islands (or outer islands). Mahé, Praslin and La Digue charm visitors just as much for their paradise beaches as for their exuberant nature. For an intimate and exclusive experience, let yourself be tempted by a beachfront villa on one of the archipelago's splendid private islands. Two exceptional sites are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list: the legendary Vallée de Mai on Praslin, where the «coco de mer» grows, and the world's largest raised coral atoll, Aldabra. The Seychelles are also home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world: Anse Lazio, with its white sand bordered by granitic rocks.
