Located in heart of the Indian Ocean, some 1600 km off the coast of East Africa, the Seychelles is among the most famous vacation destinations in the entire world. The island is made up of some 115 islands that comprise about 41 magnificent granitic islands. Pristine beaches and the slow pace of life in the Seychelles are without a doubt the archipelago's major tourist attraction.
The beauty of this paradise is that different Islands present a different set of landscape, atmosphere and hidden secrets. Praslin Island is grandly blessed with some of the most pristine beaches in the world. Amongst them, Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette, Anse Kerlan and Anse Volbert: widely praised for having longer and wider stretches than those on Mahe.
Many visitors tour Praslin to see Valle de Mai, a preserved forest area where coco de mer palms are abundant. Valle de Mai is the only place in the world where the special coconut grows. The coconut that resembles a female pelvis is considered an object of mystical sexual powers. You'll need to keep in mind that it will be expensive and you will need a registration number authorizing its sale.
Located about a 30 minute ferry ride from Praslin, La Digue Island is a destination to die for. Home to one of the most popular and most-photographed beaches - Anse Source d'Argent, the island has its huge share of relics of a past generation, including them cemetery of the early settlers, a working calorifer, magnificent Creole mansion and a giant tortoise pen.
The bright world of the coral isles of Bird and Denis are located some 52miles north of Mah. Seabird colonies, nesting turtles, silver surf and golden sands adore these secreted gems. At the edge of the shallow Seychelles bank, the ocean plummets to 2000m thus creating a nirvana in which fishing, snorkeling and diving fanatics go hysterical.
It would be abominable to depart Seychelles, without seeing the Giant Tortoises en Masse in Aldabra Atoll, one of the two World Heritage Sites in the region. Though a hard island to reach, it embraces more than 150, 000 of the slow veggie-eating giants: by far the largest population of tortoises anywhere on earth and a spectacle to cherish.
