Rediscover real island living & Island living naturally

National Geographic CreativeWorks invited audiences to rediscover what an island escape can truly offer. Beyond sandy beaches and all-inclusive resorts, Seychelles has a wealth of local island culture and rich, biodiverse landscapes to adventure through. The campaign positioned island travel as a journey defined not only by relaxation, culture, and fun, but also by a deep, authentic connection to the destination’s flora, fauna, and heritage.

The brief

The campaign aimed to reposition the Seychelles Islands as far more than a classic “sea, sun, and sand” destination. The ask was to position the Seychelles Islands as a place of depth, diversity, and discovery, where natural beauty meets a unique cultural mix, conservation, and vibrant community events.
