The stunningly beautiful Seychelles archipelago is regarded by many as being one of the most romantic destinations in the world. The crystal clear turquoise sea surrounding the islands, pristine coral reefs and the white powdery beaches offer visitors the chance to see Mother Nature at her best. For nature lovers, the lush green jungle forests found inland offer a paradise for wildlife and indigenous flora.

The islands stretch across nearly one million square kilometres of the Indian Ocean east of Kenya and have endured long periods of colonisation. Despite this, the native people have held onto their traditional customs and beliefs, and in doing so the islands have retained a special charm and uniqueness. Only a few of the 115 islands are inhabited, with most of the local population (known as Seychellois) being gathered on the main island, Mahe, and centred around the capital city of Victoria.
