A visit to these remote islands will introduce you to a different world, far removed from Mahe or Praslin. Here you’ll experience untouched nature in one of the most pristine places on the planet.

The Outer Islands or Coralline Seychelles (archipelago) is a collective term for those islands of the Seychelles that are not on the shallow Seychelles Bank which defines the location of the granitic Inner Islands archipelago to the east.

The coral islands are flat with elevated coral reefs at different stages of formation. They are generally low-lying, and often form atolls around a central lagoon.

These islands are extremely remote and the 12 inhabited islands have suffered from population decline (around 700 residents) until in recent years they have experienced something of a revival, with some tourism ventures providing support.
