In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Seychelles.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Seychelles were uninhabited throughout most of recorded history. This beautiful country island was home to none until the latter part of the 18th century, when its first settlers arrived.
2. An island nation, Seychelles is located in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar and about 1,600 km east of Kenya. The archipelago consists of 115 islands. The majority of the islands are uninhabited, with almost half dedicated as nature reserves. A group of 42 islands, referred to as the inland islands, has a total area of 244 km2, comprising 54% of the total land area of the Seychelles and 98% of the entire population.
3. The country is home to the heaviest land tortoise that is living in the wild. Named Esmeralda, the animal weighs 304 kilograms and can be found at the Bird Island. Esmeralda is the second oldest giant tortoise at the age of 171 years.
4. Seychelles was the land of pirates, in particular Anse Forbans (Pirate’s Cove) on Mahé Island and Côte d’Or on Praslin. The pirates used to seek the islands as a hideout and it is believed that a treasure worth more than $160,000 was hidden by Olivier Levasseur at the time. It hasn’t been discovered yet.
5. The Seychelles is not the smallest island nation in the world. In fact, there are over thirty nations and territories that are smaller than the Seychelles. Seychelles is, however, the smallest country in all of Africa, with only 452 km sq.
6. The Clock Tower in Victoria or Lorloz as it is better known in Creole was officially inaugurated on 1st April 1903. The Clock Tower is an elegant replica of the clock that was first erected in London in 1897 at the junction of Victoria Street and Vauxhall Bridge Road, near Victoria Station.
7. Today, Seychelles boasts the highest nominal per capita GDP in Africa, excluding the French regions. It is one of only a handful of countries in Africa with high Human Development Index. Despite the country's newfound economic prosperity, poverty remains widespread due to very high level of income inequality, one of the highest in the world, and low wealth distribution.

Money, rings, and silver found hunting for treasure Metal detecting Seychelles on Mahe Island
Metal detecting Seychelles the beach has never been something that has paid off for me since I started the hobby, but on our family trip to Mahe Island in beautiful Seychelles i had an amazing time with some great finds. I found 2 silver rings, a silver bracelet and some other goodies and coins. The white sands, beautiful water, and tropical scenery made for some the most epic time enjoying the hobby. It gets really hot in Seychelles so I would only go out for about an hour or so in the morning but in 4 short mornings I had some great finds, but made even better memories.
I use the minelab safari and usually the Nokta pin pointer but forgot to bring the pin pointer everyday I went out detecting haha. The locals seemed very intrigued with the machine and like to talk, and the police were even very interested in seeing what I found, out of curiosity. If you plan on taking a trip to Seychelles and enjoy metal detecting I highly recommend taking your detector with you.
Praslin Island - Seychelles
See the best accommodation Praslin is the second largest island (38 km²) of the Seychelles, lying 44 km north east of Mahé. Praslin has a population of around 6,500 people and comprises two administrative districts; Baie Sainte Anne and Grand' Anse (Praslin). The main settlements are the Baie Ste Anne, Anse Volbert and Grand' Anse.
It was named Isle de Palmes by explorer Lazare Picault in 1744. During that time it was used as a hideaway by pirates and Arab merchants. In 1768 it was renamed Praslin in honor of French diplomat César Gabriel de Choiseul, duc de Praslin.
Praslin is known as a tourist destination with several hotels and resorts, as well as a number of beaches such as Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette. It also has substantial tracts of tropical forests with birds such as the endemic Seychelles Bulbul and the Seychelles Black Parrot. The beautiful Vallée de Mai Nature Preserve is known for the unique coco de mer and vanilla orchids. It has been reported that General Charles George Gordon of Khartoum (1833-1885) was convinced that Vallée de Mai was the Biblical Garden of Eden.
Praslin is home to Praslin Island Airport, while surrounding islands include Curieuse Island, La Digue, Cousin Island, Cousine Island and Aride Island. There are also a few near offshore islets including Round Island (.193 km²) and Chauve Souris (.007 km²); both of which have hotel accommodations. ( source Wikipedia )
Bel Ombre, Mahé (Seychelles)
Bel Ombre is located next to the famous Beau Vallon beach, and stretches out over several kilometres towards the north-west of Mahé. This wild piece of coastline includes great views of the rocky landscape of the country. The small town of the same name also offers a number of different accommodations, restaurants, and a few calm, quiet beaches.
Treasure Hunt in the Seychelles!
They say that many of the Seychelles beaches contain treasure, left there by pirates! Whatever the case, when visiting the Seychelles with your children, why not organise a pirate treasure hunt?

Seychelles are made up of some real beauties, 115 of them, each one possessing its own history, legends and mysteries. Every island is different and that is the joy of Seychelles. The Seychellois are extremely hospitable people and, for the most part, they live simple island lives. Nearly 90% of this mixed nation dwells on the main island, Mahé, with the remaining few scattered across the smaller islands.

Le Méridien Barbarons - Pirates' Legends - Seychelles
It is known that pirates have used the Seychelles as an ideal hideout. A number of merchant ships crossing the Indian Ocean with precious cargoes have fallen targets to piracy. Among the famous pirates known to have operated in Seychelles was Olivier le Vasseur, nicknamed La Buse and his most important loot has been the priceless Cross of Goa, which is still being sought today.
View from Above- Seychelles
Welcome to the View from Above! A series where we take you on a Journey to some of the most beautiful places on earth!
If you are looking for the most idyllic island location in the world then you don’t have to look further than Seychelles. Really! This place is that beautiful. From the stunning white sands of Anse Royal to the fish-filled coral reefs in the St. Anne Marine National Park, visitors are completely spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing their paradise playground. View from Above captures this magnificent and dazzling island nation from a birds-eye-view by using cutting-edge DJI unmanned recreational drones. Enjoy the journey!
Seychelles is an island archipelago in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. The archipelago is made up of an astounding 115 islands and each one has its own little blissful setting. The islands were largely left uninhabited until the turn of the first millennium when Arab traders would have used the island as a place for some much needed R&R. Vasco de Gama came across the islands in the 1500s, after which pirates were regular visitors. By the mid-1700’s the French came to settle on the islands, but they were the object of a wrestling match between France and Britain and by 1810 were in British hands. The islands were eventually granted independence in 1976, and, after a few years of political turmoil, the islands have become the ideal tropical holiday destination.
Visitors to the island nation will often land by plane at the airport off of the city of Victoria. Victoria is the tiny Seychelles capital, as well as the commercial hub of the island of Mahe and all the other islands surrounding it. Being a city surrounded by tropical island panoramas, it is not without its own landmarks. Visitors must visit the Victoria clock-tower (a Big Ben lookalike) as well as the Tempio Hindu (a colourful Hindu temple). Make sure you visit the famous Victoria Market for local crafts and art.
Just a short distance from the city is the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens. The beautiful gardens are home to a few examples of the unique Seychellois flowers, blossoms and orchids. The gardens also shelter a family of giant Tortoises that can live for hundreds of years. Look out for the interesting Coco De Mer palm trees. This is Seychelles’ national tree and its fruit, a bi-pod coconut, is meant to resemble the naked genitalia of a woman, and is exported to China as a delicacy.
But the real reason one visits Seychelles is for the sparkling waters and white sands of their idyllic beaches. Anse Royal is a beach on the main island of Mahe and is home to turquoise waters many beautiful fish. The beach is a good snorkelling location and is bordered by beautiful coral boulders and palm trees. Maybe stay at the nearby Double Tree Hotel, or at least try the tasty creole food at Kaz Kreol restaurant that looks out onto the beautiful cove.
If beaches with more of a wilderness feel are what you are looking for then look no farther than the Grand Anse of La Digue Island. The Grand Anse beach is a lot longer than most of the Seychelles beaches, and the huge boulders that protect the cove also funnel larger waves that are great fun for experienced swimmers.
For a visitor to fully experience Seychelles they must plan to reach the St Anne Marine National Park and stay on one of the smaller islands. The collection of islands are just 5 kilometres from Victoria and boast some of the world’s most protected natural coral reefs. Go out on a glass bottom boat, dive over the side and swim amongst the colours of exotic fish and anemones.
The beautiful Seychelles islands really make the ideal tropical getaway. This little slice of ‘heaven on earth’ needs to be experienced and lived by any and all who can afford to travel there.
