Not all of Seychelles’ beaches were created equally, every island has its signature shores, ranging from the liveliest to most secluded romantic coves protected from prevailing winds. Some stretch undeniably long, deserted and bordered with wild coconut trees others are picture-perfectly blessed small half-moon beaches with massive smooth boulders and navy-blue lagoons.
Seychelles is also blessed with lush nature and exceptional biodiversity.
