Why visit Seychelles
The Seychelles is a peaceful island finale for families: granite-framed beaches, calm coves, giant tortoises and some of the most private island villas in the Indian Ocean.
Families can snorkel, kayak, cycle and explore nature trails, or simply slow down together. The Seychelles is malaria-free and suits families of every age, especially multigenerational groups. It combines well with a Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa safari.
