Seychelles
Nature’s Sanctuary
If searching for rest and relaxation, look no further than the beautiful Seychelles! This spectacular group of 115 islands make up Africa’s smallest country. Despite the small size and population, the Seychelles boast on outsize number of rare and gorgeous species, including sea turtles, land tortoises and a wide range of birds. The main island of Mahé has the most action, with a variety of resorts, restaurants and activities. For those looking for total peace and quiet, venture to one of many secluded islands such as La Digue and Praslin. For a heavenly get-away, complete with water sports, boat cruises, and sumptuous seafood feasts on the coast, there’s no better spot than this.
When to go: All year round
