Seychelles

Best Hotels in Seychelles

Granite cliffs plunge into turquoise water.

Palm trees lean toward impossible sunsets.

And somewhere in the silence between waves, your nervous system exhales.

This is not a party archipelago. It’s a quiet Eden.

Refined, sun-warmed, deeply elemental.

A Note about the islands

The Seychelles aren’t just one place, they are three distinct personalities

• Mahé → the largest island. Lush, mountainous, vibrant. Home to the capital and international airport.

• La Digue → car-free, poetic, intimate. Think bicycles, granite boulders, and the most photographed beach in the world.

• Praslin → the gentle one. Vallée de Mai, soft sand, and dreamlike quietude. A perfect balance between wild and serene.

  
  

Your stay can unfold across all three very easily or deepen into one.

To know before you go

• Best time to visit

Ideal months: April, May, October, November – calm seas, warm air, fewer tourists. All year long, the water is warm, and the rhythm is slow.

• Entry & Visa

No visa needed for most countries (EU / Swiss / UK / US). You’ll receive a visitor permit on arrival, just bring proof of accommodation + return ticket.

From Mahé → Praslin or La Digue = ferry (1–2h) or domestic flights / helicopter transfers.
