Coral Islands with Accommodation

It would be a pity to visit the Seychelles and not experience at least one of the sparsely inhabited, remote flat coral islands, by way of a contrast to the granitics. There are flights most days (depending on demand) to Bird, Denis, Desroches and Alphonse. Each of these islands has a single hotel for accommodation, and day trips are not possible as flights are on the ground for a matter of minutes before returning to Mahé.

Young Islands

In contrast to the great antiquity of the granitics, Bird Island and Denis Island may be only 2,000–4,000 years old. They emerged due to a local fall in sea levels caused by a change in ocean currents around this time.
