The perfect temptation

Some 150 million years ago, a group of 116 granite islands floated free from ancient Gondwanaland to occupy a secluded niche in the western Indian Ocean. Untouched since, the Seychelles developed into a sanctuary of mesmerising natural beauty and an ecological treasure trove like no other.

Renowned as a world-class snorkelling and yachting destination, these precious islands lie outside the cyclone belt and enjoy a balmy ocean-cooled climate averaging 28°C. Prospective homeowners benefit from an array of advantages: favourable taxation, national residency, economic stability and a safe living environment.
