Known for their pristine beauty and rare plants and animals, the Seychelles Islands lie off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indiana Ocean. Half of the land from the 115 islands that make up this nation is preserved as national parks and land reserves, offering visitors the chance to witness the magnificence of the islands in their undisturbed, natural state.

The natural wonders and peaceful coastlines offer swimming, snorkeling, and relaxation to all who seek it. Choose a vacation villa on the island of your choice. Island hopping to the 33 inhabited islands by boat, plane, or helicopter makes it easy to enjoy the individual experiences each one offers.

The Seychelles enjoys a diverse population of citizens, as various countries have landed on its shores since its discovery. French, Portuguese, Arab, African, British, and Austronesian settlers have all contributed to the Seychelles’ culture, cuisine, languages, architecture, and society. See these contributions firsthand in the vacation rental or home you choose. Although it has the smallest population of any sovereign nation in Africa, its impact and beauty is rather significant. Its main island, Mahé, is home to the international airport and one of the smallest capital city in the world, Victoria, which features attractions including casinos, art galleries, golf, museums, and botanical gardens.
