THE BREATHTAKING SEYCHELLES

Scattered in the Indian Ocean, the 115 islands comprising the Seychelles archipelago form a paradise where luxury attains its highest peak. Rent an island ? Privatize one of the world’s loveliest beaches ? Hotels here compete for excellence to make your wildest dreams come true.

With idyllic shores, lush tropical forests, some of the planet’s richest waters, and a fauna with many protected species, the Seychelles - whose prime source of income is top-notch tourism - offer a unique setting in which to pursue extraordinary activities. Careful to preserve the splendours of nature, the sumptuous resorts propose, for example, placing a GPS on a whale shark to follow its movements, creating your own cultured pearl, ecolgical tours by air, or simply abandoning yourself to supreme relaxation with refined, innovative treatments, before returning to the privacy of your villa against a backcloth of azure blue.
