Chauve-Souris Island, Seychelles
This has to be an island for Robinson Crusoes. I would guess that you could throw a stone from one end to the other. I was only able to get this picture by swimming to it. Hence I did not take my best camera! But if you are not a cheapskate like me you can book a room in the lodge which is its sole habitation. It will only set you back £254 a night. I suspect they will then fetch you in a boat from Praslin.
The attractive granite boulders are characteristic of the Seychelles, the only granitic oceanic islands in the world. They broke off and drifted from the Indian tectonic plate some 55 million years ago and now lie closer to Africa.
