Seychelles
Indian Ocean Islands and Coast with ATD
The Seychelles archipelago consists of some 100 islands, only a few of which are inhabited. The islands offer a real taste of paradise on their many unspoiled palm fringed beaches. On the whole, development been ecologically sensitive; no building is permitted to be built higher than the palm trees and most resorts are small.

There are many rare indigenous species of birds and animals. A wide variety of watersports are available and there is particularly good SCUBA diving. The islands most often visited are Mahe (site of the international airport), Praslin and La Digue. Visitors staying more than a few days should plan to visit more than one island as each has its own flavor. The islands boast many spectacular resorts and hideaways... none more wonderful than Wilderness Safaris' North Island Lodge which opened in 2001 and has won many awards including the "Best of the Best" from The Robb Report and Conde Nast.
