Anse Cocos beach in Seychelles

If you are looking for the perfect honeymoon holiday destination in Africa, you do not need to look any further than the Seychelles Islands. The Islands are situated in the Indian Ocean, about 1500 km off the shores of the East African coast. The Islands consist of 115 scattered islands located north east of Madagascar.

The pristine beaches of Seychelles are certainly the Island’s top attraction. The refreshingly uncrowded beaches bear very little interference from human activity, and offer such peace and calm that cannot be found in most other beach destinations in the world. The Vallee de Mai garden is probably the most renowned Seychelles beach. Yet, there is much more to Seychelles travel than just the beaches. Other equally fascinating tourist attractions in Seychelles include:

The largest coral atoll in the entire world, the Aldabra Atoll, which is also the home of the giant land tortoises

Watersports and adventure activities in the warm waters of the Indian ocean. Windsurfing; sea expeditions in yatches, catamaran, sail boats or power boat; scuba diving; snorkelling; and surfing are some of the popular watersport activities in Seychelles

Ecotourism: including birdwatching and diving to observe the rich marine ecosystem in the coral reefs.

The Main Islands of Seychelles
Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue comprise Seychelles’ main islands. Mahe is home to the Seychelles capital, Victoria, which is the point of entry for international visitors to Seychelles.
