About Seychelles

Seychelles is an island country in the Indian Ocean at the eastern edge of the Somali Sea, consisting of 115 islands. Its capital and largest city, Victoria, lies 1,500 kilometers east of mainland Africa.

With a population of just over 95,000, it has the smallest population of any sovereign African country.

Seychelles was largely uninhabited until the mid-1600s. Both the French and British established re-supply stations there, with the British eventually taking control in the last 1900s.

Since gaining its independence from the United Kingdom in 1976, Seychelles has evolved from a mainly agricultural based society to a more diversified economy, with fast growing service, public sector, and tourism activities.

Seychelles has numerous influences, combining French, British, African, Chinese, and Indian cultures. The country is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Southern African Development Community, and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Blessed with the most unique unspoiled white sandy beaches, gorgeous mountainous valleys, and vast swathes of tropical jungle, Seychelles offers filmmakers a fabulous range of experiences and landscapes.

It has a strong infrastructure, good roads, telecommunications, and airports, and the ability to get between islands easily. Offering a diverse array of yachts, boats, and catamarans, it also boasts plenty of world-class hotels and accommodations.
