Top Seychelles Experiences

Stay on a Private Paradise Island

With 115 individual islands scattered through the Seychelles Archipelago, it's no surprise that there are hundreds of hidden, islolated and private coves and beaches for you to discover as you travel through the Seychelles islands.

To indulge in incomparable luxury, maroon yourself on one of the Seychelles' private islands for the ultimate secluded Seychelles island holiday.

With a whole island to yourself (or very close), choose between private beaches and secluded coves to claim your own patch of paradise.

Dive Some of the World's Best Spots

The Seychelles is widely believed to have some of the most outstanding diving in the world. Share this crystal-clear world with endangered turtles, whale sharks, sting rays and a kaleidoscope of colourful, tropical creatures.

Explore enormous boulders heaped on the ocean floor, coral beds teeming with life and peer over ledges that drop thousands of metres to the bottom of the ocean.

Scuba-diving in the Seychelles is a year-round activity, but visibility is best in April/May and October/November. See our When to Go page for the best time for Seychelles travel.

Unwind in Luxury

Barefoot luxury is what Seychelles island holidays are famous for, where only the best will do.

But that relaxed and casual holiday feeling is never compromised: imagine yourself cocooned in your private swimming pool, cocktail in hand, looking out through the palm trees to the deserted paradise cove beyond .... in a setting like this, who could have a care in the world? Don't worry; we'll find the right Seychelles accommodation for you.

Cycle Around La Digue

The small island of La Digue appears to have been caught in a Seychellois time warp with only one main road and ox carts being the main mode of public transport. The best way to explore this beautiful island is to travel the way most of the locals do - by bicycle. Discover the small harbour town of La Passe before going in search of one of the many small and secluded coves, complete with soft white sands, clear turquoise water and palm fronds, that dot the coastline of La Digue.

Explore Victoria

Instead of catching the first ferry or flight to a nearly deserted island when you arrive on Mahé, spend a day exploring the Seychelles capital city of Victoria. It's a wonderful opportunity to interact with the friendly and diverse Seychellois and get to know a little of their culture.

Stroll down the broad boulevards and explore the colonial landmarks, stopping to watch the old men play a game of dominoes. Buy some fresh fish for dinner at the colourful fish market or just fill your senses with the array of spices and exotic fruit on offer.

Wander Through the Vallei de Mai

Explore the ancient palm forest of the Vallei de Mai on Praslin. This World Heritage Site is home to six endemic palm species, including the erotic-looking coco de mer. The coco de mer not only has the largest leaves in the palm family, but also the largest nut or seed in the whole plant kingdom, which is suggestively shaped like the rounded hips of a woman.

Wander past exotic fauna and flora on paths through this pristine forest, keeping an eye out for the rare black parrot that is found nowhere else in the world.
