Seychelles

The Seychelles offers a diverse holiday experience with the chance tobalancechilling out and being self indulgent,with eco-tourism and underwater exploration.

Island hopping adds to thevariety and it doesn't have to be by private helicopter (though they are heavily in evidence, and a lot of fun). You can just as easily take a ferry with the locals.

You'll need to be happy with your own company as the Seychelles are someplace you go to "get away from it all" rather than in search of nightlife or entertainment.

Reasons to visit Seychelles

Private Villas and Private Island Retreats

There is nothing quite so fabulously decadent as having a home-away-from-home in a delightful location - yet with a local fixer to take care of the mundane business of mixing the cocktails. The bonus is having all the facilities of a high-end five star hotel located conveniently on hand. You don’t have to mingle with others and can be as gloriously, indulgently antisocial as you like. This is a world away from simply furnished Mediterranean villa complexes; this is villa living, Indian Ocean-style… Or maybe you want greater levels of remoteness, zero cellphone coverage and deep blue water separating you from the noise and bustle of the real world? Even if you don’t need to escape the paparazzi, there’s nothing to beat a private island retreat.

Worry-free

Unlike many a tropical destination, the Seychelles presents few dangers. There is no malaria or serious disease and the local wildlife is neither poisonous nor intent upon chasing or eating you. Indeed, it seems that the local fauna is as relaxed and happy in outlook as the local Seychellois. And no wonder; when they live in one of the most beguiling and hospitable places on earth.
