The Seychelles Islands, an Indian Ocean paradise, consist of 115 islands known for their white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, granite rock formations, and rich biodiversity. The main islands—Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue—offer world-class snorkeling, diving, hiking, and nature reserves like Vallée de Mai (home to the rare coco de mer palm). The islands also protect giant Aldabra tortoises and vibrant coral reefs. Visitors can explore Sainte Anne Marine Park, Anse Lazio Beach, and Morne Seychellois National Park. The best time to visit is April–May or October–November for pleasant weather. Seychelles is accessible via Seychelles International Airport in Mahé, with no visa required for most travelers.
