Seychelles
Seychelles is built for doing very little, well — granite-boulder beaches and some of the quietest island time in the Indian Ocean.
Island time, without much else on the agenda.
Seychelles' islands — Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue — are known for a particular kind of beach: granite boulders framing the sand, rather than a flat tropical strip. It's a quieter, less built-up alternative to some other Indian Ocean island destinations.
Where the trip actually happens.
Mahé
The main island and usual entry point, with a mix of beaches and a small capital, Victoria.
Praslin
Home to the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO-listed palm forest, and some of the archipelago's most photographed beaches.
La Digue
A slower, bicycle-paced island — Anse Source d'Argent is among the most recognisable beaches in the Seychelles.
Planning basics.
A few things worth knowing before booking.
Best For
Couples, honeymooners, travellers wanting minimal structure.
How Long
5–7 days across two islands is typical — inter-island transfers by ferry or short flight take real time to plan around.
Sample Route
Mahé → Praslin → La Digue.
