From the window of the plane, you can see the ribbons of white-sand beaches washed by the sea with multiple shades of blue. The islands are covered with lush green hills with hardly any human intrusion in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re talking about the Seychelles islands, an archipelago comprising of 115 small islands located near the Equator on the Indian Ocean. Not many tourists have Seychelles on their bucketlist. But those who do know all about its deserted beaches, varied wildlife, historic sites, and a fascinating underwater world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seychelles islands owe their natural wealth to two elements: their geographical location, far from everything else, and their geological composition. Unlike most oceanic islands, Seychelles is not of volcanic origin but constitutes a remote granitic remnant of the ancient Gondwana supercontinent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The archipelago is divided into two large groups of islands, one interior and one exterior. The interior islands have a hilly terrain outlined by large granite moles while the coral origin of the southern exterior islands gives them a characteristic flat and sandy appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 40% of Seychelles comprises of natural reserves, which makes it one of the most protected countries in the world. By belatedly joining tourism development, they have created a model committed to the conservation of the environment. Want a remote and pristine vacation? Here are a few things to do when visiting these one-of-a-kind Seychelles islands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"-4.624396\" data-longitude=\"55.384533\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/rJJ8cv6_h\/anse-major-seychelles\" data-placeid=\"4238\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/rJJ8cv6_h\/anse-major-seychelles\">Relax on the Anse Major beach<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-latitude=\"-4.624396\" data-longitude=\"55.384533\" src=\"https:\/\/d39ghehfp8sbx4.cloudfront.net\/media\/img\/1\/4ea0438a-47b1-490a-a3e2-ca76db127158-1400.jpg?placeid=4238&amp;name=Anse%20Major&amp;lat=-4.624396&amp;lng=55.384533\" alt=\"Anse Major beach, Seychelles. \"\/><figcaption>Anse Major beach, Seychelles. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun-soaked beaches are probably the biggest draw for tourists to Seychelles.

Located 60 miles from Mah\u00e9, it is the northernmost island of the archipelago. This island has 13 species of endemic birds and many others that find refuge during the long migratory routes from Europe, Asia, and Africa. They chose this island to establish their colony as it is the first island they find in the Indian Ocean coming from the north. Bird Island is home to more than three million birds (terns, swallows, kingfishers, etc.) and humans are just intruders who go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birds are not the only impressive beings you see on this island.
