Seychelles
Seychelles
Seychelles is famous for a very specific kind of beach: pale sand framed by enormous, smoothly rounded granite boulders, nowhere more photographed than Anse Source d'Argent. Beyond the shoreline, the islands hold genuine ecological rarities, including the coco de mer palm, which produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom, and giant Aldabra tortoises that can live over a century. Coral reefs and clear water make for excellent snorkeling and diving, while dense jungle interiors stay wonderfully quiet. It's a small, laid-back archipelago built around natural beauty.
