Vacation Rentals in Seychelles

The Seychelles are famous for their beautiful scenery and excellent accommodation. With a private vacation rental on the beach, paradise is at your feet. Often the houses are equipped with garden and grill as well as an own pool. Most accommodations are also equipped with a WLAN Internet connection, so you can stay connected to the rest of the world on the island. The family-friendly accommodations not only offer generously furnished rooms, but sometimes also a playground in front of the door.

Seychelles also offers a number of smaller apartments and larger holiday homes, most of which have a spacious kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. On your own terrace or in the garden you can enjoy the warm evenings without restrictions and have your breakfast directly in the fresh sea air. Some providers also offer an included breakfast, which is served in the holiday apartment.

The Republic of Seychelles is an island nation located in the western part of the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles consists of 115 islands, 73 of which are coral islands and 42 granite islands. The archipelago is divided into the Inner Islands and the Outer Islands. South of the Republic lie the East African coast and the island states of Mauritius, Madagascar and the Comoros. The capital of the Seychelles is Victoria.

On the island of Praslin there is the Coco de Mer, a coconut whose seeds were once washed up on the beach. This is the largest coconut species in the world that was previously thought to grow under water.

The oldest giant tortoises in the world live on Bird Island. Tourist guides gave this species of turtle the name Esmeralda.

A vacation rental on the beach is ideal for discovering the unique marine world of the Seychelles. Almost everywhere, fine, white, gently sloping sandy beaches invite you to be discovered by young and old alike. Among the most famous beaches is the beach of Anse Source d'Argent on the island of La Digue, which is known from the commercials for Rafaello and Bacardi. The Anse Lazio on the island of Praslin is also one of the most beautiful beaches. Divers can admire the beautiful coral reefs in the water. In the interior, tropical and extremely species-rich rainforests are waiting to be explored by you.

Around a quarter of the island's land area is forested, which is why seven national parks, four special reserves and six other protected areas are available for you to explore. In all the nature reserves live about 4000 different animal species. In addition, the region has a rich flora of about 850 plant species. Especially noteworthy is the Vallée de Mai National Park on the island of Praslin, which has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The cityscape of the capital Victoria on the island of Mahé is reminiscent of the British colonial era of the beginning of the 20th century. The large clock tower, for example, is modelled on Little Ben in London. The stately courthouse in the city centre is also well worth a visit.
