To paraphrase Henry Baston, there are three great elemental sounds in nature: that of the rain, that of the wind in the woods and that of the ocean on a beach. With 115 beaches to choose from, Seychelles is paradise upon earth for the thalassophile, in their ardent search and desire for all that is sand, foamy and healing the soul.
What better way to truly experience this natural wonder than to sit by the ocean, as it ceaselessly laps at the sand, being lulled by a lullaby as old as the world itself? Simply staring at the pristine waters courting the golden sands, perhaps with a cold glass of a famous tropical fruit in your hand and the sun on your shoulders – a picture perfect moment. As the sun sets, you can move towards the sea – make your nest in the wet sand that shapes itself to accommodate you – and engage in meditation; an attempt to not merely use the beauty of the Seychelles beaches as a mode of escapism, but also to understand the inner workings of the world where we live.
Take residence in a beach resort. Seychelles has an abundance to choose from. Not only be served to a generous portion of local hospitality and culture but also experience the alien familiarity of the other visitors – all, like you, who were drawn to the wonders of the beach. Make your mark on foreign lands. Take part in a swimming competition organized by AVANI Seychelles Barbarons Resort and Spa, and the like. Sip a victorious cocktail while learning more about the friends you made under the tropical sun.
Beach attractions in Seychelles extend far beyond mere activities. A popular destination, a landscape that embodies heavenly creation, Seychelles is a place to explore – the people, the culture as well as yourself.
