Easy Sell for Seychelles

This dreamy archipelago is known as a decadent chaise-and-cocktails capper for safari honeymoons. But the Seychelles is now a legitimate, stand-alone destination for diving, snorkeling, fishing and hiking. Plus, there are powdery beaches edged with coconut palms. Once you finally get to the serene Alphonse Island, on the edge of the archipelago, you won’t find cars or cell receptions. What you will find are white-bottomed saltwater flats perfect for casting for triggerfish, bonefish and barracuda.
