Seychelles

A 115-island archipelago off the the Maldives, the majestic landscapes of Mauritius, and the cultural diversity of Sri Lanka, all with a little ‘je ne sais quoi’ of their own. Periods of French and British colonial rule, alongside influences from Africa, India, Asia, and Arabia, have shaped a rich and eclectic Creole culture, and a cuisine to match. When you come to the Seychelles, stepping out from your luxury hotel and immersing yourself in local life isn’t just easy - it’s encouraged. On the largest island of Mahé, enjoy access to the vibrant capital of Victoria where local markets overflow with fragrant spices, tropical fruits, and handmade crafts. Wander the city’s historic streets to see clock towers, churches, and coast of East Africa, holidays to the Seychelles combine the allure of

temples between museums, galleries, and boutiques before returning to beachfront accommodation for pool afternoons, spa treatments, and blissful nights at the ocean’s edge. Wherever you stay, you’ll find ancient forests filled with rare flora and unique wildlife, from iconic giant Aldabra tortoises to whales, sharks, and dolphins. Hop to the smaller islands of Praslin or La Digue to soak up the sun, snorkel over coral reefs, and explore lush parks and reserves like Vallée de Mai. For a truly exclusive experience, choose a single-resort destination like Deroches, Silhouette, or Denis Private Island. From serene relaxation to exhilarating adventure, the Seychelles promises a captivating blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and warm hospitality for an unforgettable holiday experience.

The Essentials

BEST TIME TO GO June to September is best for guaranteed good weather, but even in the wetter months, Seychelles showers are short and dry quickly. TOP TIP Make the most of a Seychelles stay with a tailor-made twin-centre that takes in Mahé and a smaller island too.
