Mahe (Victoria), Seychelles

The paradise of island paradises

If you’re searching for paradise, the first thing you need to do is get a map. Got it? Great. Now look for the southeastern coast of Africa. Then head about 900 miles east towards the equatorial line of the Indian Ocean. Because it’s in this remote corner of the world where you’ll find the paradise of island paradises: the Seychelles archipelago. (You’re probably looking for photos on Google now and thinking to yourself, “I need to be here.”)

Well, not only will we take you there, but we’ll also take you to some of our favorite Seychelles places like the island of Mahe, where 3,000-foot mountains, blooming orchids, crystal waters, and giant tortoises will compete for your attention. Then again, that’s only if you can tear yourself away from the over 65 jaw-drop-worthy beaches of silver sands.

So…bags packed yet?
