Seychelles is a stunning archipelago of 115 islands located in the western Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. The capital, Victoria, is situated on the largest island, Mahé. Seychelles is renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and incredible biodiversity. With a population of around 100,000, the official languages are English, French, and Creole. The tropical climate, with little seasonal variation, makes Seychelles a popular year-round destination.

The economy of Seychelles is heavily dependent on tourism, which provides the majority of the country's income. Beyond luxurious resorts and beaches, the islands attract divers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers with their protected areas and unique species of flora and fauna, many of which are endemic. The cultural heritage of Seychelles is rich and diverse, influenced by African, Asian, and European cultures, which is reflected in its music, dance, and cuisine, where seafood and spices play a central role.
