Seychelles

The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands scattered across the western Indian Ocean, sitting roughly 1,500 kilometres east of mainland Africa. Granite boulders the size of houses tumble onto beaches of white coral sand; the interior of the larger islands climbs into cloud-catching forest. Life here moves at the pace of the tide.

About Seychelles

Overview

The Seychelles lies northeast of Madagascar, with no land borders and coastline on every island. Mahé is the largest island and home to the capital, Victoria — one of the smallest capitals in the world. French, English, and Seychellois Creole share official status. The currency is the Seychellois rupee. The culture reflects a layered history of African, French, British, and Asian influences.
