If you’re looking to whisk your family away to an idyllic island retreat, the Seychelles is the ideal base. The untamed island habitats are home to a cast of wild and wacky creatures, which are bound to surprise and delight your youngsters, and the wild beauty of the landscapes radiate an other-worldly quality. Seychelles family holidays can include plenty of activities, such as snorkelling, swimming and kayaking, and many resorts also have excellent kid’s clubs leaving you parents free to enjoy some luxurious spa treatments while your little ones are kept entertained.
With a total of 115 islands in the archipelago, Seychelles family holidays have a lot to offer. Explore Bird Island – the northernmost in the archipelago – renowned (unsurprisingly) for its birdlife, including the whimsically-named fairy terns and common noddies. Mahé is the island for soaking up local life, with its vibrant markets and traditional villages, while Morne Seychellois National Park is another of the island’s treasures, characterised by thick emerald forest and unspoilt walking trails. Meanwhile, Praslin promotes a laid-back beach lifestyle with some of the world’s most photogenic beaches where parents can indulge in some seaside relaxation and children can splash around in the shallows.
