With dreamlike scenery made up of powdery white beaches lapped by warm blue waters, and a verdant interior filled with palm trees, the Seychelles offers an idyllic retreat. Anchored in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, the archipelago – formed of 115 islands – is home to a rich and diverse natural landscape. There’s a whole host of things to do here, whether you want to hurtle over the waves in a speedboat, hike across rocky mountainsides, or snorkel alongside shoals of vibrantly-coloured fish. Explore some magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Sites, too. The Aldabra Atoll showcases one of the finest examples of raised coral atolls in the world, and is home to an exceptional variety of tropical marine life. On the island of Praslin, meanwhile, Vallée de Mai boasts a unique palm rainforest that has remained largely unchanged since prehistoric times. Beaches might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a holiday to the Seychelles, but these islands are also home to an envious collection of national parks. Morne Seychellois National Park, on the island of Mahé, is made up of dense forests, mangroves and crumbling cultural sites and offers some of the country’s best hiking trails. Peak times to visit are between June and September which bring cooler, drier weather with stronger winds. Alternatively, consider planning your trip for April, May, October, or November (best for sunbathing), as these months are typically warm, calm and windless. It’s best to avoid visiting between December and March, which bring large amounts of rainfall. Whether you’re looking for a romantic break or an action-packed getaway, our specialists will help you plan your ideal holiday to the Seychelles.
