Seychelles

Paradise Islands of the Indian Ocean

Best Time: Apr–May, Oct–Nov 5–8 Days Seychellois Rupee (SCR) Visa on Arrival

Why Visit Seychelles?

Seychelles is the definition of paradise — an archipelago of 115 granite and coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, with beaches so perfect they seem computer-generated. The iconic pink-granite boulders of Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue are among the most photographed beaches on Earth. Seychelles offers extraordinary biodiversity: the Vallée de Mai palm forest where the legendary coco de mer grows, giant Aldabra tortoises roaming free, and coral reefs teeming with marine life. For Indian travelers, Seychelles is a short flight away and offers a visa on arrival — making it one of the most accessible luxury island destinations.
