Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands. The main islands are Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue. Domestic flights and high-speed catamarans connect them. Book ferry tickets in advance during peak seasons. On each island, taxis are plentiful but negotiate the fare before the ride. Car rentals are available on Mahé and Praslin; drive on the left.
Accommodation ranges from guesthouses to luxury resorts. Guesthouses offer local character and lower rates. Many resorts are on the west coast for sunset views. Book well ahead for stays between December and February or July and August. Check if your accommodation includes airport transfers; taxis from the airport to Beau Vallon or Victoria cost about 30 to 50 euros.
Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue is often called the most beautiful beach in the world. Its powdery sand and shallow turquoise water are ideal for swimming and photography. Vallée de Mai on Praslin is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can see the rare Coco de Mer palm in its natural habitat.
Morne Seychellois National Park on Mahé offers forested hiking trails and panoramic views. Beau Vallon Beach on Mahé is good for swimming and has a lively beachfront with restaurants. Bird Island, a short boat trip from Praslin, hosts a large colony of sooty terns and is a key seabird nesting site. Access is restricted during breeding season; check with local tour operators.
Grilled Red Snapper is a staple. Fresh fish is seasoned with local herbs and served with rice or breadfruit. Octopus Curry uses coconut milk and spices; the octopus becomes tender after slow cooking. Ladob is a sweet or savory pudding made from plantains, cassava, or breadfruit cooked in coconut milk. It is often eaten as a snack or dessert.
Fish Cakes are deep-fried patties made with flaked fish and herbs, served with chili sauce. Tec-Tec is a small local clam used in soups and curries. Its briny flavor is distinct. Most restaurants serve Creole buffets at lunch. Try the chutneys and pickles that accompany main dishes. Street food is limited; book a table at a restaurant for dinner.
Seychelles has a tropical climate with two main trade wind seasons. The southeast trade winds blow from May to October, bringing drier weather and stronger breezes. The northwest monsoon runs from November to April, with higher humidity and more rain.
April and October are transition months with lighter winds and calmer seas, ideal for snorkeling and diving. From November to March, the weather is hotter and more humid, but rain often falls in short showers. Whale sharks are most common near Mahé between September and November. Cyclones rarely affect Seychelles, but tropical storms can cause heavy rain. Pack for humidity and sun regardless of the month.
High-SPF Sunscreen is essential. The equatorial sun is intense even on cloudy days. Choose a reef-safe formula to protect the marine environment. Lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing will keep you comfortable in the humidity. Long sleeves and pants help prevent sunburn and mosquito bites in the evening.
Swimwear and rash guards are practical for daily beach visits. Water shoes or reef sandals protect your feet from sharp coral and sea urchins. A lightweight rain jacket is useful during the wetter months. Pack a reusable water bottle; tap water is safe on Mahé and Praslin but bottled water is widely available. A dry bag is helpful for boat excursions. Leave high heels and formal wear at home; the dress code is casual.
