Idyllic seclusion with spectacular palm-fringed beaches, soft white sand, a glorious climate, numerous hideaway islands and the warm crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles combines all that is best about a paradise destination. More than 100 tropical islands, scattered over a million square kilometres in the Indian Ocean, make up this ultimate destination, situated just four degrees south of the equator. The main island of Mahé acts as a starting point for a visit to paradise. Praslin is more relaxed than Mahé and is generously endowed with fabulous beaches and almost deserted. Weather

Glorious weather all the year round is what makes the Seychelles so special. Temperatures hover around the 27ºC mark even in winter. Trade winds can be expected between May and September.
