Set against the soothing azure backdrop of the Indian Ocean, with only granite boulders and occasional clusters of palm trees punctuating the long runs of soft powder white sand, the islands of the Seychelles Archipelago make for the perfect beach holiday destination. It is not just spellbinding beaches which sit among the world’s finest; with a scattering of award winning resorts and stylish villas available for private rental, a Seychelles holiday affords you the opportunity to indulge in lazy tropical days and world class luxury.

Of the 115 islands that make up the Seychelles, 41 Inner Islands constitute the oldest granite islands on earth. If that title wasn’t enough to convince you of the Seychelles’ beauty, the additional 74 low-lying reef islands will convince you this region is worth a visit.?

Imagine awakening and contemplating the day ahead as hazy rays of sun peak through into your immaculate beachfront suite, enjoying a delicious breakfast on your private sundeck before relishing in a lazy stroll along the beach, indulging your mind, body and soul with a massage at the spa, and then heading off for some fun amidst warm ocean waves and a spot of snorkelling or diving. With many of the islands enclosed by delicate shallow reefs, with only a couple of swim strokes you will find yourself surrounded by a colourful array of marine life and possibly a turtle or two. What better way to conclude a perfect day than cool cocktails and dinner at the ocean's edge, beneath the sultry evening sky. 

Sound idyllic? It certainly is, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to learn that the Seychelles is a top choice for a truly idyllic beach honeymoon or romantic break. With high standards of service, simple logistics and a wide range of small luxury resorts, secluded coves and stretches of pristine beach from which to choose the Seychelles offers something special for all. Those seeking unrivalled privacy and exclusivity can hop across to one of the opulent Seychelles private island resorts, such as  Praslin island, the setting to the stunning Raffles Praslin, where you - and your companions can embrace your own slice of Sandy paradise.
