The Seychelles, comprised of 115 islands, were uninhabited when the British East India Company arrived on the archipelago in 1609. Thereafter, they became a favourite pirate haven. The French claimed the islands in 1756 and administered
them as part of the colony of Mauritius. The British gained control of the islands through the Treaty of Paris (1814) and changed the island's' name from the French Séchelles to the Anglicized Seychelles.
Today the Seychelles is a Republic, with the main island of Mahé, containing the airport and the capital. Together with the neighbouring islands of Praslin and La Digue they comprise the economic and cultural hub where most
of the Seychelles’ tourism facilities as well as its most spectacular pristine beaches can be found. The Seychelles population is vibrant and diverse and as society has evolved, it has stayed true to its multi-ethnic roots, and its
people live in harmony.
