It is believed that Seychelles is home to the Garden of Eden and the forbidden fruit.

This is the time for you to check if the legend is true.

Be it a family holiday or a romantic honeymoon trip, Seychelles will definitely be the best choice for you.

Seychelles is a lush tropical paradise with rich and colorful marine life to discover. Holidays in Seychelles are always unforgettable. This is the place you feel like returning to.

The Seychelles islands consist of so-called inner and outer islands. The main island, Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, are the main points of interest for numerous visitors who come to Seychelles to experience its unique beauty. However, extraordinary things can be found in other islands also, each one offering its own charm. There are plenty of things to do in Seychelles for a couple or a whole family of yours.

When To Visit

Seychelles is home to plenty of sunshine and warm weather all year round. Located seven degrees south of the equator, the country boasts of a great mixture of sunshine and tropical rain. The temperature is constant at 25°C to 30°C year-round. Seychelles lie outside of the cyclone belt, which is why it is a great destination for a sunny escape any time of the year.

Places

Being the largest and the most developed island in the country, Mahe is the home to the capital of Seychelles – Victoria, one of the tiniest capitals on Earth.

Mahe International Airport (SEZ) is the main Airport of Seychelles and the entry point to paradise. 80,000 people reside in Mahe and its neighboring islands – around 80% of the country’s total population. There is a lot to enjoy in Mahe – a historical walk around the country’s capital Victoria, white coral beaches, hikes through pristine jungle, waterfalls, stunning viewpoints, and more. If you are on a honeymoon in Seychelles, for example, there are always many interesting things to do on Mahe.

The most interesting inner islands of Seychelles are located just a short boat ride away from Mahe or are easily reachable by a scenic flight. Silhouette Island, Sainte Anne Island, Round Island, Praslin, and La Digue are the most visited and well-known holiday spots.

Praslin Island is the second-largest island with a population of 7,000 residents. Two main reasons for tourists to fall in love with Praslin are Anse Lazio and Vallee de Mai National Park. Anse Lazio is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the pearl of Praslin. Vallee de Mai National Park is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to the biggest nut on Earth – Coco de Mer. Apart from its natural beauty Praslin boasts an 18-hole championship golf course and fascinating birdlife waiting to be discovered.

A truly local experience awaits you in La Digue Island. La Digue is easily accessible and can be explored even on a day trip. The best way to see the beauty of it is to cycle around the island. White powder sand, massive granite boulders, and coconut and vanilla plantations offer a unique experience, which cannot be found anywhere else around Seychelles. Delicious Creole cuisine, amazing nature, and the most photographed spot of the country, Anse Source d’Argent, are waiting for you to be here.

Further south, you will find the Alphonse, famous for some of the best fly-fishing experiences in the world. And of course, the Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a great place to see.
