If your idea of a romantic break involves a laid-back destination that comes with the magical sun-sea-sand formula, food and drink to thrill an enthusiast, and an island vibe that will make it difficult to leave, Seychelles might have a beach with both your names on it. Here are 10 ways in which the archipelago in the Indian Ocean off East Africa is made for romance...
1 Seychelles Is An Easy Decision
Seychelles is a visa-free destination for Indians, which makes it an easy choice for an impromptu romantic break! All you need to do is fill in the application for a Travel Authorisation letter, which comes in one day at a fee of €10.
2 The Island Life Is Effortless To
Get To Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, flies weekly from Mumbai to Seychelles International Airport on Mahe. Other airlines such as Qatar, Ethiopian and Emirates fly to Seychelles from Delhi and Mumbai with a stopover. Emirates, in fact, has layover flights from major Indian cities such as Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru.
3 You Land In The Heart Of The Action
There's a good reason why Mahe is called the Isle of Abundance. The principal island of the archipelago hosts the capital Victoria. This is where you will find mist-covered mountains, virgin forest cover, and a sapphire sea lapping at that multitude of beaches. Mahe is also a place where you will see the past, imbued with Creole culture and history, sitting harmoniously beside modern infrastructure. There is much to see and do - living history, some of the rarest plants and animals in the world, art, restaurants and more - but only if you want to; the clock is pre-set to languid island time for you.
