Seychelles Background
Although you will enjoy the cool juices of locally grown tropical fruits, the rice with your fish has to be imported.
Arab traders were probably the earliest visitors to the islands; long before the Portuguese sailed by in 1502.
France claimed the uninhabited islands some two hundred and fifty years later, and moved in with their slaves in the late 1700's.
The expanding power of Great Britain annexed the Seychelles in 1814; controlling them from Mauritius for most of the century.
Independence was achieved on June 29th, 1976.
Visiting Seychelles
Seychelles offers an holiday experience as unique as it is varied, drawing on the amazing diversity of 115 pristine islands to ensure that every visitor goes back with his or her very personal memories.
What sets Seychelles apart from so many other holiday destinations is its wide variety of islands; each one with its own particular geography, character and history.
SeyVillas are a specialised agent for the Seychelles whose strong point is putting together absolutely tailor-made personal island-hopping packages.
The Seychelles Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Tourism set out to update their Tourism Master Plan in 2015 with a Tourism Strategy for the way forward, entitled Destination 2023.
With relatively short travelling times between the islands and/or places of interest, the regular network of air and sea transportation operating out of the principal island, Mahe, makes moving around in Seychelles easy and hassle-free.
Seychelles Beaches
If it's beaches you want, you'll find plenty of tropical beaches in Seychelles.
The principal islands are Mahe, Praslin, Silhouette, and La Digue.
There are around 75 beaches on the main island of Seychelles, even though it's only 17 miles long.
Bliss Boutique Hotel Seychelles: Glacis, Mahe.
The four-star Bliss Boutique Hotel Seychelles is situated on the northern shores of the island of Mahé, in a sheltered cove; hidden away in a secret dreamy bay, set between white sandy beaches and lush tropical vegetation.
Guests at the Bliss Boutique Hotel Seychelles can enjoy a range of activities from snorkelling and island boat tours, to inland island tours, fishing and hiking.
Whilst Mahe is a tiny island it offers great outdoor adventures.
Victoria
Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, is on Mahe Island.
The airport was completed in 1971, on reclaimed land south-east of the capital. Be sure to have a window seat when you come in to land.
