Have you ever heard of The Seychelles before?

The Seychelles is a country off of the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The country is composed of an archipelago that consists of 115 islands.

Although it is a small country that has fewer than 100,000 residents, what The Seychelles lacks in population, it makes up with tranquility and beautiful beaches.

Almost all visitors that visit The Seychelles must first fly into the principal island, Mahe. Here, there is an international airport as well as the country’s capital of Victoria.

Despite being the most populated island, Mahe is still very tranquil and has picture-perfect white sand beaches. One of the most popular beach destinations on the island is Grand Anse Beach, which looks too perfect to be true.

The Seychelles has other, more remote islands that can also be visited via a boat ride. The island of La Digue has one of the most picturesque beaches in the world, the Anse Source d’Argent Beach.

Praslin is the other biggest standout island in The Seychelles. It possesses a beautiful tropical rainforest as well as palm tree-lined beaches that look like something out of a fantasy.

The Seychelles should be near the top of your African travel list. Go if you can!
