Best UNESCO sites in Seychelles
Local Recommendations from our My Guide Seychelles team
Seychelles, an archipelago of stunning natural beauty in the Indian Ocean, is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin Island is a primeval forest that preserves the unique coco de mer palm tree, known for its enormous seeds. This mystical place is also believed to be the original Garden of Eden. The Aldabra Atoll, the world's second-largest coral atoll, is a sanctuary for diverse marine life, including giant tortoises and seabirds. These UNESCO sites showcase Seychelles' commitment to conserving its extraordinary natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
