Granite boulders, UNESCO Vallée de Mai and crystal-clear waters
The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 granite and coral islands in the heart of the Indian Ocean, is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world. Mahé, the largest island, is home to the capital, Victoria. Praslin is home to the legendary UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, where the coco de mer — the world's largest seed — grows. La Digue is world-famous for Anse Source d'Argent beach and its pink granite boulders. Extraordinary unspoilt nature: giant tortoises, endemic birds and waters of absolute clarity.
