At one mile long and one mile wide, the Seychelles' Cerf Island is a pristine private vacation hideaway. The entire island is located within the Sainte Anne National Marine Park, so the waters surrounding the island are truly incredible. More than 150 species of marine life live in the crystal clear waters, which are ideal for scuba diving, snorkelling and kayaking. This is the only island in the marine park with a permanent local population. They typically work in the resorts or commute to Mahe for supplies three kilometres away. A 15-minute boat ride will get you to the port at Victoria, the main town on Mahe. There is a handful of Cerf Island hotels scattered around its shores, most of which are upscale resorts. The environment on the island is a priority, so themes like protection, conservation and respect have a high visibility. If you're looking for a truly romantic getaway in one of the world's most beautiful spots, this island is the place.
