Relaxing and Affordable: The Family-Friendly Seychelles

Mahé, Seychelles, 29 October 2012 – There are many good reasons to take a dream holiday with the whole family in Seychelles. Endless flat beaches with fine sand add to enjoyable and safe fun in the water for children and worry-free parents. And timing is no matter because the continuously warm climate in Seychelles never wanders into the extremes throughout the full year. There are also other advantages in Seychelles that would otherwise argue against taking children on a long-distance trip. The Seychelles is one of the few countries in the tropics that can be visited without any special preventative vaccinations. There is no risk of malaria, yellow fever or cholera and the slight time difference does not disturb the normal sleeping pattern of children.

Another positive is that there are not any dangerous animals on the islands, rather rare flora and fauna that will fascinate young children. Whether it is the heaviest giant tortoise, the smallest frog, the unusual double nut species Coco-de-Mer or the rare jellyfish tree – of which there are only eight existing – the Seychelles is a place of unique biodiversity.

Small adventures await and even exciting pirate stories. For example, the legendary pirate Oliver Le Vasseur, also called La Buse, plied his dastardly trade at the beginning of the 18th century in the Indian Ocean and around Seychelles. To this date, La Buse’s treasure has never been found and historians venture that a part of the riches could still be hidden in Seychelles. The hunt for the pirate treasure can immediately start in the capital, Victoria, with a visit to the historical cemetery – the site of La Buse’s last resting place.

This paradise on earth is also affordable for families. The Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel (http://www.coralstrand.com) stands out with a completely new hotel concept in Seychelles: premium comfort at an affordable price. Located directly on the most beautiful piece of beach on Beau Vallon Bay on the island of Mahé, the hotel offers the best value for money in Seychelles.
