Did you know?

Seychelles International Airport opened in 1972 and is located only about 10 kilometres south-east of the capital Victoria on the island of Mahé. It is the most important airport in the Seychelles and the central gateway to the paradise islands in the Indian Ocean. Besides international flights, it is also a hub for domestic flights to the smaller islands of the Seychelles. The airport was formerly a project to promote tourism and was even personally inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain at the time.

Places of interest

The Seychelles are famous for their dream beaches, including Anse Lazio on Praslin, which is often counted among the most beautiful beaches in the world. The Vallée de Mai National Park on Praslin is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the famous Coco de Mer palm trees with their giant nuts. On Mahé, a visit to the Botanical Gardens in Victoria is worthwhile, where you can find exotic plants as well as the famous giant tortoises. La Digue enchants with Anse Source d’Argent beach – known for its pink granite rocks and turquoise water.

Useless knowledge

• The Seychelles are home to giant tortoises that radiate more life wisdom than any yoga instructor. Some are over 190 years old and move with a determination that commands the respect of any islander.
• The Seychelles is the only country with a fruit that looks like a posterior and is famous for it. The Coco de Mer is huge, rare, protected, and looks exactly like a very confident backside.
• The locals say: „If it doesn't rain today, it'll rain later. Or tomorrow. Or both.“ The weather in the Seychelles has spontaneity as its life motto.
• The WLAN works when it feels like it. Digital detox often isn't voluntary, but it is sustainable. Communication: gladly in person, failing that by Papaya-funk.
