THE SEYCHELLES WELLBEING HOLIDAYS

The Seychelles: a deserted island surrounded by tropical plants, swaying palm trees and soft white sandy coral beaches, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is thousand miles from anywhere, where summer is eternal, time stands still, just the sounds of crystal clear water lapping on the shore. Even the most vivid imagination can barely touch the living beauty of these islands, discovered only two centuries ago. You can snorkel and scuba dive, hold hands under an ebony sky lit by a tropical moon, or simply wallow in your achievements. It boasts exotic flora and fauna that can be found nowhere else on earth - 2000 species of tropical plants, palm trees, filaos and even the famousā? Coco de Mer" palm. The Seychelles is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. The principal island of Mahe has a population of about 50,000.
