Holidays to the Seychelles Islands

Elite Vacations has been offering tailor-made Seychelles holidays for almost 25 years. We offer a huge choice of Seychelles Hotels from luxury resorts to smaller hotels and our specialist team know the islands well and are best-suited to arranging your ideal Seychelles holiday.

Scattered in the western part of the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles from anywhere, lie the 115 granitic and coral islands that make up the Seychelles. 4 degrees south of the equator, north east of Madagascar and off the east coast of Africa, Seychelles’ isolation makes it truly "unique". Fantastic land and seascapes and endemic flora and fauna are coupled with a mixed racial background making the culture, cuisine and people a real enjoyment.

Island hopping is easy and thoroughly recommended. You can travel by air using scheduled domestic flights, ferries or helicopters and for those with good sea-legs wanting a more adventurous, relaxed way of experiencing the islands then either join a cruise or charter a bareboat or crewed yacht. Each island has something totally different to offer.

The government is keen to promote sustainable tourism, and it is uncompromising when it comes to the protection of its environment. 50% of the total landmass has been committed as National Parks, Nature Reserves or protected areas – two of which have been declared UNESCO world heritage sites. Tourism is still developing in the Seychelles and although there are now some excellent resort hotels, in general, one cannot always expect the international standards of more established destinations. In many ways this has been an attraction of the Seychelles to those travellers seeking a relatively unspoilt paradise where natural beauty is more important than tourist luxuries.

The location and preservation of its environment means that much has to be imported and often in small quantities, hence to some, the Seychelles may seem expensive.
