Dotted across each of the paradisiacal islands are a myriad of famous spots and secret gems that provide intimate moments in the sunshine. The best beaches in the Seychelles include Beau Vallon Beach. Regarded as the most popular, this seafront utopia is located on Mahé, the largest island in this archipelago. Water sports are offered here, such as jet skiing and windsurfing, as well as picturesque picnic areas and multiple bars and restaurants. Also found on Mahé is Sunset Beach, which earns its name from the awe-inspiring sunsets that you can admire from the powdery sand. Dive beneath the waves here to see manta rays, turtles and dolphins. Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue Island is the family-friendly location with shallow waters and unique, photographable rock formations.

Family Moments

Bursting with family-friendly activities, the Seychelles ensures holidaymakers of every age will make life-long memories. Head to Curieuse Island, a 10-minute speedboat ride away from Praslin Island, to walk alongside the majestic Aldabra tortoises in their natural habitat. Lush mangroves are also explorable via kayak or bike and are teeming with wildlife. The National Botanical Gardens on Mahé boast more giant tortoises plus an array of exotic flora and fauna. Children can let loose on the play area here, blending fun with nature. Investigate the secrets of this archipelago in the National Museum of History, where exhibits detail Seychellois culture and heritage through ancient artefacts. Sublime weather makes family holidays to the Seychelles unlike any other as you can enjoy activities like paddleboarding, snorkelling and parasailing in the aquamarine water as well as glass-bottomed boat trips to see colourful marine life and coral reefs.

Epic Adventures

Feel your adrenaline rise when you take part in the epic adventure activities on offer across the Seychelles.

The surrounding national park has a number of hiking routes, including the Copolia Trail, that will immerse you in the rugged landscapes. Across many of the islands, you’ll find granite formations that are perfect for rock climbing and bouldering while the azure shores invite you to scuba dive. Shark Bank is one of the best scuba diving spots in the Seychelles as you’ll see numerous species of sharks and rays. Take it all in from the sky with a thrilling helicopter ride above the islands and Indian Ocean.

Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime romantic holiday? The Seychelles promises intimate getaways with dazzling scenery that will sweep you off your feet. The ultimate romantic destination, you can expect glorious tropical sunshine all year round. With a multitude of sumptuous hotels and resorts to choose from, you and your partner can relax in luxury resorts that are nestled in lush forests, mountain sides or on spectacular beachfronts.

Secreted throughout the islands is a plethora of unparalleled luxury resorts, offering all-inclusive packages that you can’t say no to. The best villas in the Seychelles feature a variety of high-class amenities to ensure your stay is a perfect one. Indulge on divine cuisines in the delectable restaurants before sipping tantalising cocktails in the chic bars and lounges.

A number of wellbeing activities are also on offer in many of the exceptional resorts, including state-of-the-art gyms, sports courts, yoga studios and fitness classes. Be pampered by the relaxing treatments offered in the spa, where you can also feel at peace in the sauna and steam rooms.

Best Time To Visit

The Seychelles is renowned for its tropical climate and consistent sunshine, with 12 hours promised per day. The best time of year to visit the Seychelles would be during the dry season, which falls between May and September. The conditions during these months are pleasant, with cooler temperatures than the wet season that remain in the low to mid-20s. While the wet season has an average of 30℃, there is more precipitation and humidity. Many visitors want to avoid the rain but if you’re happy to experience this, then you’ll find some superb deals and be able to explore the Seychelles almost exclusively as you’ll be travelling outside of the regular tourist season. April, May, October and November are considered the transitional months, when you’ll find a happy medium between the two, with agreeable temperatures to take advantage of. Again, there will be fewer crowds, meaning you can get involved in all the outdoor activities and explore any attraction you like with complete ease.
