SEYCHELLES TRAVEL GUIDE- Seyvillas

The Seychelles are a varied, well-rounded holiday destination, with plenty of restaurants, sights and sounds, activities, and excursions for you to enjoy

Seychelles - even the name alone evokes ideas of a remote island paradise, lined with palm trees, white sand, and turquoise ocean; of never-ending summer, a lightness of being, tropical scents, colors, and flavors. While all these things ring true, the Seychelles are so much more than that, being a truly varied and multi-faceted holiday destination.

Seychelles is an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean which, between 480 and 1,600 km from the east coast of Africa. Despite this distance from the continent's mainland, the nation is, politically, part of Africa. The Seychelles consists of 115 islands, of which 42 are designated as granite or granitic islands, and 73 as coral islands. These islands are then sub-divided into the so-called Inner Islands and the Outer Islands. The Seychelles is also divided into 25 separate administrative regions, all of which are located on the Inner Islands. These islands are mostly made up of granite, but also include the Northern Coral Islands, while the Outer Islands consist of the Southern Coral Islands, the Amirantes, the Alphonse Group, the Farquhar Group, and the Aldabra Group.
