Nestled in the Indian Ocean off the East African coast, there exists an archipelago of sorts, primarily known for its coral reefs, exotic fauna and colorful scenery. It is the tropical paradise of Seychelles—consisting of the islands of Mahe, La Digue, Curieuse, Praslin and 115 others. What sets it apart from other destinations is its collection of luxurious beaches, bordered by tall palms, topaz waters, and talcum-powdered sands.
