Seychelles

Paradise Preserved

Giant granite boulders, coral reefs, coco de mer palms, and some of the world's most pristine beaches — nature's most perfect creation.

The Seychelles archipelago of 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean is widely considered the world's most beautiful island destination — a tropical paradise where ancient granite boulders and turquoise lagoons create a landscape of otherworldly beauty. Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue are the main islands, each with a distinct character. The Vallée de Mai on Praslin is a UNESCO primeval palm forest home to the coco de mer — the world's largest seed — and the rare black parrot. Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, with its granite rock formations and blush-pink sand, is consistently rated the world's most beautiful beach. For Indian travellers, Seychelles is a short, direct flight, no visa required, and offers a luxury and natural experience that is unmatched anywhere in the Indian Ocean.
