Resorts
Seychelles is an archipelago of several islands. The largest island, Mahe, offers larger resorts and private cabanas that are close to Seychelles’ capital, Victoria. Or, if you’re hoping to find a secluded bungalow, one of the smaller islands should suit your fancy. Most resorts offer beach access within walking distance, so you’ll never need to travel far for fun in the sun.

Food
The typical cuisine of Seychelles is Creole, and many restaurants offer private dining experiences. You’ll find a variety of fresh seafood dishes made with fish caught the very same day, and dishes with a little kick of spice.

Activities
You won’t need to walk very far to find miles of white sand in Seychelles; beaches here are as ubiquitous as friendly faces. You’ll enjoy an array of activities, like snorkeling and deep-sea diving. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can always take a hike through the miles and miles of lush forest.
