Seychelles

Seychelles is built for doing very little, well — granite-boulder beaches and some of the quietest island time in the Indian Ocean.

How Long
5–7 days
Known For
Granite beaches, Mahé, Praslin, La Digue

Why Go

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 to Go

Where the trip actually happens.

01

Mahé

The main island and usual entry point, with a mix of beaches and a small capital, Victoria.

02

Praslin

Home to the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO-listed palm forest, and some of the archipelago's most photographed beaches.

03

La Digue

A slower, bicycle-paced island — Anse Source d'Argent is among the most recognisable beaches in the Seychelles.

Good to Know

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.
