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.

While the Seychelles do not boast an abundance of manmade attractions for children, the islands are home to some stunning beaches as well as a number of national parks. Your children will be able to get close to nature and experience new sights and sounds that cannot be found at most theme parks.

Mainly due to its short history, the Seychelles doesn’t celebrate that many traditional festivals. Most public holidays are Roman Catholic events.

The Seychelles is a paradise for nature lovers. There are three main islands where visitors can stay, and countless others which offer fantastic daytrips. If you are a keen bird watcher, you will find it hard to tear yourself away from the myriad of places where you can spot local species. The main resort islands offer manmade attractions as well as pristine beaches and top-class eateries.
