ROYAL APPROVAL
Boasting a glorious tropical climate, turquoise waters and powdery white sandy beaches, the Seychelles are paradise on earth. Famed for their outstanding natural beauty, the Indian Ocean archipelago features 115 coral islands and sits off the east coast of Africa, just south of the equator.
The Prince and Princess of Wales spent their 2011 honeymoon on North Island, a small private destination described as the most exclusive private island in the world. It has just 11 villas set in an exquisite wilderness sanctuary. George and Amal Clooney also chose the Seychelles as their honeymoon destination, while David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their 10th anniversary on Mahé, the largest island.
A NATURAL BEAUTY
Many of the islands are home to rare wildlife, including the Seychelles magpie robin - a lively little bird which was on the brink of extinction in the 1970s, with only 16 remaining. And the island of Curieuse has a colony of Aldabra tortoises the gentle giants roam free in a protected sanctuary.
