Seychelles: 115 islands, and it's not a fairy tale

Why the Seychelles

115 islands in the Indian Ocean with nature found nowhere else: granite boulders, powder beaches, water in every shade of turquoise. A catamaran is the only honest way to see the archipelago: ferries reach three islands, we go wherever we want.

A week's highlights

• The rainforests of Mahé;
• Praslin and the Vallée de Mai reserve — home of the legendary Coco de Mer;
• coconut and vanilla plantations, national parks;
• giant tortoises — a hundred years old and happy to be scratched;
• exotic fishing and — for the brave — a day and night by an uninhabited island.

When and how much

Best from November to April. A catamaran week — from €12,000 per yacht (up to 8 guests) + flights. No visa needed — a stamp on arrival.
