Island dreams come true. With the Seychelles, it seems the gods have hit the jackpot: as if they had taken on the role of sculptors, carving and polishing the bizarre granite rocks from the stone, grinding the sand until it is as fine as powder, and to top it all off, unpacking their paintbrushes so that the palms are nowhere greener, the sea nowhere bluer, and the beaches nowhere whiter. Thus, this African archipelago in the Indian Ocean has become the epitome of a holiday paradise. A place for sustainable luxury tourism, regulated by price and featuring many nature reserves - this masterpiece is, after all, worth protecting and priceless.
