Seychelles is known to be one of the most popular beach holiday destinations near Africa. Here are a few things you can get up to while you holiday in this island nation.
The breathtaking beaches of Seychelles are one of the main reasons one must head to this island. With pleasant weather and sunny skies throughout the year, the golden sands of Seychelles beaches are rated as one of the world’s finest and for good reason too. Travellers have a collection of amazing private and tranquil beaches to choose from and they will also be glad to find that there are many hotels based on the island the likes of Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas.
If you are put up at a hotel in Seychelles or you are visiting the island for a short visit, you must definitely not leave the place without trying authentic local food. The food here is an amazing blend of East African flavours and this alone is a great reason for you to visit. If you are someone who has a liking for Chinese, French, Indian, and African cuisine, you will be happy to know that these are the popular cuisines found on the island and you will also be able to find dishes that are a blend of all these cuisines. Seafood is the major source of many delicacies here.
Most popular beach destinations like Seychelles have tropical landscapes and breathtaking natural views but not every one of those places can be proud that almost half of its landmass is a protected reserve. Apart from the jungles and island terrains that are usual to most islands, Seychelles also has a UNESCO World Heritage site within its reserve. The largest island of Seychelles also has amazing trails and hiking roads, which will take you to granite summits that offer you outstanding views of the ocean and the nearby islands.
If you want to know what a vibrant day-to-day life on an island is like for the natives, this is a good place to learn. You could hang out at one of the local restaurants or bars and chat with some of the natives to experience what the laid-back lifestyle of Seychelles is like. Depending on which part of the year your holiday falls in, you could also be lucky enough to take part in some of the local festivals.
Seychelles is not only blessed with attractions on land but it is also blessed with underwater attractions and an abundance of marine life that makes the landscape underwater a dream come true for a diver. Deep-sea exploration activities are one some of the most fun things to do in Praslin and if you want to go scuba diving or even snorkelling this island is a good place for you to begin. During your expedition underwater, you will be able to spot whale sharks, eels, and lionfish among many other kinds of fish.
