Home to an array of UNESCO World Heritage sites, beaches, jungles, and nature reserves, Seychelles is a collection of islands that abound in unperturbed natural beauty. The archipelago is located near the equator, close to Kenya. These beautiful islands are touted as a playground for the rich, which is mostly true, but with the right budget, anyone can tour Seychelles.
Best time to visit
Seychelles has a tropical climate, which makes it a year-round destination; however, the best months to visit the islands are April, May, October, and November.
Where to stay
There’s a wide selection of accommodation options. The best option for tourists would be to consider all-inclusive resorts in Seychelles. However, the islands offer a diverse array of accommodation options, which include Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas.
Mahe
The largest island among the Seychelle islands, Mahe is home to the biggest number of Seychellois. The Copolia Trail and Victoria Market are two of the key attractions here.
Praslin
This is where you find the award-winning Anse Lazio beach; the beach is known for its soft bed of sand. Getting here involves a bit of a hike, but it’s worth it.
Giant tortoises
Curieuse Island, Aldabra, and Cousin are where you find the largest tortoises in the world; their shells are as large as bathtubs. Most day trips include visits to see these giant tortoises.
Creole Cuisine
Dining in Seychelles is one of the must-do things. Creole cuisine is unique and offers a plethora of delicious dishes. As Seychelles is inhabited by Indian descendants, the roadside stalls and fancy restaurants alike mostly feature Indian-style seafood dishes. Most of these dishes are paired with rice – and one simply must try the green papaya dish which is the best accompaniment to any dish!
