☀ 🏖 🤿 🛬 Yours to discover.
Seychelle, officially the Republic of Seychelles, is an archipelagic island country in the Indian Ocean. It consists of 115 islands. Seychelles is located in the Somali Sea segment of the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar and about 1,600 km east of Kenya. Its capital and largest city, Victoria, is 1,500 kilometres east of mainland Africa. Other nearby island countries and territories include the Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, and the French overseas regions of Mayotte and Réunion to the south and Maldives and the Chagos Archipelago (administered by the United Kingdom as the British Indian Ocean Territory) to the east. It is the least populous sovereign African country, with an estimated 2020 population of 98,462.
The climate is equable although quite humid, as the islands are small, and is classified as a tropical rain forest. The temperature varies little throughout the year. Temperatures on Mahé vary from 24°C to 30°C, and rainfall ranges from 2,900 mm annually at Victoria to 3,600 mm on the mountain slopes. Precipitation levels are somewhat less on the other islands. During the coolest months, July and August, the average low is about 24°C. The southeast trade winds blow regularly from May to November, and this is the most pleasant time of the year. The hot months are from December to April, with higher humidity (80%). March and April are the hottest months, but the temperature seldom exceeds 31°C. Most of the islands lie outside the cyclone belt, so high winds are rare.
Islands reflect Seychelles’ grand diversity, like a great family, both large and small, each one with its own distinct character and personality. Every visitor to Seychelles will surely want to visit as many islands as possible during their stay.
The islands fall into two categories: 41 ‘inner’ granitic islands that form the backbone of Seychelles’ tourism offerings with their wide suite of services and amenities, most of which are readily accessible through a selection of day trips and excursions, and the remoter ‘outer ‘coral islands where at least an overnight stay is essential.

It has spectacular boulder-brew beaches, exquisite natural beauty, clear turquoise water, thriving coral reefs, and many more.
