According to Wikipedia, The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, in East Africa. It is home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as rare animals such as giant tortoises. Aldabra officially the Republic of Seychelles is an archipelago and country in the Indian Ocean. The country of 115 islands, whose capital is Victoria, is 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) east of mainland East Africa. Other nearby island countries and territories include Comoros, Mayotte (region of France), Madagascar, Reunion (region of France) and Mauritius to the south. With a population of approximately 94,228 inhabitants, it has the smallest population of any sovereign African country; however, it has a larger population than the British Overseas Territory Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
Seychelles is a member of the African Union, the Southern African Development Community, the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations. After the proclamation of the independence of the United Kingdom in 1976, Seychelles went from being a majority agricultural society to a diversified market-based economy and agriculture. It replaced by the rapid growth of the public sector and service as well as tourism. Since 1976, the production of nominal GDP has multiplied almost seven times and the purchasing power parity almost sixteen times. In recent years, the government has encouraged foreign investment to improve these sectors. Today, Seychelles has the highest nominal GDP per capita in Africa, excluding the French regions. It is one of the few countries in Africa with a high rate of human development.
Despite the new economic prosperity of the country, poverty remains widespread due to a high level of income inequality. It is one of the highest in the world and an unequal distribution of wealth.
Seychelles is blessed with a warm and tropical climate throughout the year. Therefore, it is always a good time to visit Seychelles. But if one wants to enjoy the numerous water sports and other activities, here is a list of the best months to visit Seychelles:
In fact, it is one of the few places in the world that has so far been spared man’s destructive tendencies. Although the beaches of Seychelles and the good weather have been important factors in establishing the islands as a popular destination, there are also great attractions that are a must for all travelers.
While most people only care about the beaches when they arrive in the Seychelles, there are several attractions that are quite unique in the world. Whether you stay at a luxury hotel in Seychelles or a simple accommodation in Seychelles, you should take the time to visit all the main islands.
As Seychelles is a tropical island, it is not surprising that Seychelles has some parks and reserves that offer incredible emotions. The main park is the Morne Seychelles National Park that will captivate visitors with its almost wild beauty. The Vallée de Mai is another exciting reserve that seems out of this world, since it has an exquisitely green forest where you can see all kinds of fauna.
The Seychelles islands are also perfect for travelers who love exploring the artistic history of a country. In the case of Seychelles, some art galleries are located in Mahe, which is one of the most important islands of the Indian Ocean archipelago. The exhibits in these mahe galleries tell a lot about the culture of Seychelles and have even often received media coverage for including some extremely interesting pieces.
Tropical trade winds not only define the seasons in Seychelles, but also determine where seaweed shifts. Although naturally harmless and stranded seaweeds can divert coastal scenes that would otherwise be perfect for the image, and make swimming less pleasant. So their seasonal location can affect the area in which they would prefer to stay.
In general, from May to September, the colder, drier trade winds from the southeast bring lively seas to the southwest of Mahé and cause the algae to leave the beaches on the south coast of Praslin.
On the contrary, from October to April, the trade winds of the northwest, calm and warm muddy the beaches of Côte d’Or of Praslin with seaweed, and the waves and the currents are strong in the northwest coast of Mahé, as in Beau Vallon . The presence of seaweed is more likely in the long coastal stretches of Praslin that in the coves of Mahé and La Digue.
During the weekdays, it is generally quiet since most people work from 8am to 4pm. So definitely Fridays and Saturdays are the best days to go out in Seychelles. But bars and restaurants are also open on weekends.
North Island, the most exclusive of the private islands, offers luxury and exclusivity. It is a tropical experience like no other, a master class at no cost in sustainable luxury. Denis Island is a less exclusive option, although no less impressive, and particularly notable for its indigenous avifauna, Desroches Island Resort. Finally, is as its name suggests more reminiscent of a traditional resort.
The most important art galleries in the Seychelles are the Antonio Filippin studio and the George Camille gallery, which are always quite crowded. However, there are also other artistic attractions such as the Craft Village, which is always the first place to visit if you like to buy small handmade souvenirs of your holiday. The craft industry in Seychelles is really quite big.
Seychelles nightlife: the entrance to bars and clubs is strictly controlled at 18 years, without ID = no entry.
Most nightclubs open their doors at 10:30 p.m. and arrive until 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., depending on the environment and the day. Most locals will come to the club later from 01:00 a.m. Some nightclubs have some special offers on tickets, free entry for ladies on Wednesdays at Katiolo or cheaper tickets for gentlemen, arriving before midnight. Every weekend there are different themes and offers in the clubs.
To conclude, despite its small size, Seychelles also houses some museums and monuments that also tell a lot about the antiquity of the island. The national monuments include the Mausoleum of Dauban, the Bel Air Cemetery and Le Jardin du Roi (literally translated as King’s Garden). It will allow you to get a better insight into the culture of the island. Also, you can visit the museums that include the Natural History Museum and the National Marine Park, both casually located in Mahe.
So, why don’t you have Seychelles in your wish list for 2018?
