Feature Island


Regional Information

A few of the dazzling islands of the Seychelles are for rent. These islands are the stuff of glossy travel brochures; but you no matter how many photos you see, you'll never be prepared for the beauty of the real thing. There are more shades of blue and green in the Seychelles than the eyes can conceive. The accommodations in this area are generally upscale, but you'll probably never want to wear anything other than your swimsuit in between swimming and snorkelling in the Indian Ocean.
