Getting There
Direct connections from all major European, Middle Eastern, and Asian hubs.
Direct Flight
Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé receives direct flights from London, Paris, Frankfurt, Dubai, Doha, and Singapore. Flight time from London: approximately 10 hours.
Inter-Island Flight
Air Seychelles and smaller charter operators connect Mahé to Praslin (15 min), Denis Island (30 min), and several outer islands daily.
Helicopter Charter
The fastest way to reach North Island, Frégate, and Félicité. Helicopter transfers (15–25 min from Mahé) are arranged by the resorts and are included in some room rates.
Ferry
Regular high-speed catamaran services run Mahé–Praslin (1 hr) and Praslin–La Digue (15 min). Scenic, practical, and the preferred mode for inter-island day trips.
When to Visit
The Seychelles is equatorial — there is no bad month, but the trade-wind pattern shapes conditions dramatically.
Apr–May
Shoulder South-East
The best months. Trade winds are light, seas calm, and rates haven't yet peaked. Ideal for diving — visibility exceeds 30m.
Jun–Sep
South-East Trades
Windier on the east coasts; west-coast resorts (Mahé, Praslin) remain sheltered and calm. Excellent for kitesurfing and big-fish diving.
Oct–Nov
Shoulder North-West
Another transition — calm and warm. This is the second-best window and often has the best rates before the festive premium.
Dec–Mar
North-West Monsoon
Warm, humid, and occasionally showery. Outer islands can be rough. Festive season (Dec–Jan) peaks hard on price.
Seychelles Travel FAQ
Do I need a visa to visit the Seychelles?
The Seychelles operates a visa-on-arrival policy for all nationalities — no advance visa is required. You will need a confirmed return ticket and proof of accommodation or sufficient funds.
What currency is used in the Seychelles?
The Seychellois Rupee (SCR). However, all luxury properties price and accept payment in USD or EUR. Major credit cards are universally accepted at hotels.
How far are the private islands from Mahé?
North Island: 30 min helicopter. Frégate: 15 min helicopter. Félicité (Six Senses): 15 min helicopter from Mahé or 15 min boat from La Digue. Desroches: 35 min light aircraft.
Is the Seychelles suitable for families?
The inner islands (Mahé, Praslin, La Digue) are excellent for families. The private outer islands are primarily couples/honeymoon. Four Seasons Seychelles and Raffles Praslin both have strong kids' facilities.
