"Seychelles". The word Paradise must have been invented for this "Indian Ocean" Island Chain.
Seychelles officially the Republic of Seychelles is an island country spanning an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, some 1,500 kilometres (932 mi) east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar.
Other nearby island countries and territories include Zanzibar to the west, Mauritius, Rodrigues, Agalega and Réunion to the south, and Comoros and Mayotte to the southwest. Seychelles, with an estimated population of 86,525, has the smallest population of any African state. It also has the highest Human Development Index in Africa. Scholars assume that Austronesian seafarers, and later Maldivian and Arab traders were the first to visit the uninhabited Seychelles. Remains of Maldivian mariner presence from the 12th century were found in Silhouette Island.[4] The earliest recorded sighting by Europeans took place in 1502 by the Portuguese Admiral Vasco da Gama, who passed through the Amirantes and named them after himself (islands of the Admiral).
A transit point for trade between Africa and Asia, the islands were occasionally used by pirates until the French began to take control starting in 1756 when a Stone of Possession was laid by Captain Nicholas Morphey. The islands were named after Jean Moreau de Séchelles, Louis XV's Minister of Finance.
The British contested control over the islands between 1794 and 1810. Jean Baptiste Quéau de Quincy, French administrator of Seychelles during the years of war with the United Kingdom, declined to resist when armed enemy warships arrived. Instead, he successfully negotiated the status of capitulation to Britain which gave the settlers a privileged position of neutrality.
Britain eventually assumed full control upon the surrender of Mauritius in 1810, formalised in 1814 at the Treaty of Paris. Seychelles became a crown colony separate from Mauritius in 1903. Elections were held in 1966 and 1970. Independence was granted in 1976 as a republic within the Commonwealth.[7] In 1977, a coup d'état ousted the first president of the republic, James Mancham, who was replaced by France Albert René. The 1979 constitution declared a socialist one-party state, which lasted until 1991. The first draft of a new constitution failed to receive the requisite 60% of voters in 1992, but an amended version was approved in 1993.

I born and i raised in this ISland but is the best beautiful ISlands.
Seychelles is an excellent place to invest. It is like the Cayman Islands of the Indian Ocean. :)
Did you get around to it yet?
nice island
I second that
Its not a place for a back packer. Im just saying for that hassle and time and money . I would suggest beaches in greece, caribbean , philipines, italy , south america, south pacific , and other parts. Africa etc places you can go with out being held in immigration for 3 hours because you not carrying 150 dollars per day . There are places that will let you in with a stamp in and out or even a visa on arrival but If you must visit Seychelles be prepared they may turn you away . Their immigration is very strict even if you are staying a few days. You must have everything perfectly planned . All documentation and $150 us dollars perday . Never the less, I enjoyed my stay friendly people , beautiful place.

As Seychelles airport was small and every steps were fast, it hardly took 15 mind with immigration and checking. People were so helpful in airport and the locals in public places too.

Please don't insult us...Not all Seychellois are the same...Since the coup? Were you even born? Find out more info before you criticize
If Socialism doesn't work,then explain this island.
Friendly! You must be joking. Friendly is what it used to be. Since the coup majority of these people are now ignorant and yet arrogance. Customer service is shocking, compare from what is used to be.
Wow. I feel like I just took a vacation! Nice!
