While the Seychelles is often hailed as a romantic haven for honeymooners and couples, these idyllic islands make a surprisingly rewarding destination for solo travellers seeking both adventure and tranquillity. Here’s how you can make the most of your solo getaway to the Seychelles.
Choose Cosy Accommodations
Guest houses and self-catering apartments are often the top choice for solo travellers in the Seychelles, but if you’re willing to splurge, why not treat yourself to something extra? Finding the best resort in Seychelles that treats you to the finest comforts shouldn’t be hard with the likes of Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles, which treats guests to modern amenities and a range of exciting excursions.
Island Hopping for Variety
Travelling solo means you have more freedom to explore the three main islands in the Seychelles – Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Each has its own unique offerings, allowing you to enjoy the many sides to the archipelago, from heritage sites to world-famous beaches and more.
Embrace Nature’s Trails
Beyond its stunning beaches, the Seychelles is a paradise for hikers, with Mahé offering the Anse Major Trail with stunning coastal views, and the trail leading to the Morne Blanc Viewpoint. These provide a great escape from the crowds and a chance to immerse yourself in lush natural environments.
Savour the Local Scene
Enjoying the authentic Creole cuisine is one of the best ways for solo travellers to enjoy their stay, with many spots offering authentic, budget-friendly eats that aren’t short in flavour. The Sir Selwyn-Clarke Market on Mahé is also worth a visit, for a glimpse at fresh local produce and a chance to interact with the locals.
