The Seychelles are the only mid-ocean granite islands in the world. Located just a few degrees south of the equator, the archipelago is set conveniently at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, only 10 hours by jet from London and 4 hours from Dubai.

Each of the 116 islands is special in its own way and wonderfully untouched by man. Today, in recognition of this global uniqueness, the island group hosts two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Praslin Island’s Vallée de Mai where the legendary double-lobed nut grows in a primeval valley, and Aldabra, the largest raised coral atoll on earth.
