Seychelles Honeymoons
The Seychelles is as close to natural visual paradise as you can ever hope to see.. A "thousand miles from anywhere", the archipelago of 99 islets and six larger islands lies almost on the Equator, outside the cyclone belt and has no malaria or serious diseases. The Seychelles appeal is more to the nature-lover than the glamour-puss, whilst the seclusion, pampering and delicious seafood appeals to lovers, romantics and honeymooners.
