Seychelles

Departures: Daily

For those looking to "get away from it all," the Seychelles may be the perfect get-away. After all, the most important feature of the Seychelles is their isolation. This 115-island archipelago is located about a thousand miles off the eastern coast of Africa, smack dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The islands are scattered over 150,000 square miles (400,000 sq km) of the Indian Ocean and range from granite rock islands with lush vegetation to coral atolls that barely rise out of the sea.

• Swim at Vallee de Mai beach, one of the most famous and popular beaches of the island.
• In the Valle de Mai you will find the unique water park Coco de Mer, one of the three most famous water parks in the world.
• Seychelles is ideal for windsurfing, catamaran, surfing, scuba diving and other water sports.
• La Digue Island has few vehicles, few cobbled streets and some of the most pristine beaches in the Seychelles.
• Dine at La Buse Restaurant at Iles Des Palmes Eco Resort and enjoy sea views of Baie Ste Anne.
• Visit the islands of Curieuse, Cousin Island and St Pierre by boat.
• Walk in the Copolia Trail rainforest among the rubber-producing trees and climb to the top of the mountain to admire the city and ocean views.
• Explore the cinnamon and coconut plantations at L’Union Estate.
• Be sure to visit the Victoria flea market, where you can find everything from clothing to jewelry.
• We recommend car rental in Mahe and Praslin. La Digue Island can be reached by bike.
