Seychelles

An archipelago of 115 islands scattered across 1.37 million sq km of the western Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is home to the Aldabra Atoll — a UNESCO World Heritage Site sheltering the world's largest population of Aldabra giant tortoises (some 150,000 individuals). Unique pink granite boulders, the legendary Anse Lazio beach voted world's best multiple times, and the coco de mer palm producing the world's largest seed define this ancient Gondwana fragment.
