A sunny Seychellois festive season is undoubtedly something that should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. Seychelles is the ideal place to be because the island transforms into a winter wonderland, minus the snow of course. You may not be able to build a snowman but what you can do is build a ‘sandman’ with sunglasses on and coconuts for feet.

Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 beautiful islands off the east coast of Africa and spread across the Indian Ocean. The combination of lush tropical forests, granite mountains, immaculate beaches, crystal blue water and a well-oiled tourism industry is what makes Seychelles an unmatched destination for an island holiday.
