???????? Seychelles: The Garden of Eden
The playground of royalty
The Seychelles is not just a beach destination; it is a prehistoric marvel. These are the only mid-ocean granitic islands on Earth, creating a dramatic landscape of massive boulders, lush jungles, and powdery white sands.
It is the playground of royalty, offering a level of private island exclusivity that even the Maldives cannot match.
