About Seychelles
Hotels in Seychelles offer the ideal base for a trip to an Indian Ocean archipelago known for granite scenery, tropical jungle trails and beaches washed by warm water. The islands are small enough to explore in one holiday, yet diverse enough to suit everything from lazy lagoon days to hiking and diving—especially if you base yourself in the right area for your itinerary.
Where to stay (best regions and bases): On Mahé, choose either the lively Victoria area for convenience and restaurants, or settle into a resort belt along the island’s beaches. Victoria is the capital and largest city on Mahé, making it a natural hub for transfers and excursions. For a more relaxed beach rhythm on Mahé, areas such as Beau Vallon and Glacis are well placed for coastline exploring and day trips.
On Praslin, many visitors base around Côte d’Or—a convenient stretch for beach access and onward travel to neighbouring islands. From there, you can also reach standout landscapes such as Anse Lazio on Praslin, one of the island’s most celebrated beaches on the northwest coast. If you prefer a quieter pace, Grand’Anse Praslin works well for resort living and scenery-focused days.
On La Digue, staying closer to the settlements helps you bike around quickly; cycling is the local default, with slower, more car-free vibes than the other islands.
When to go (seasons): The dry season from roughly April to May and September to November is typically the most comfortable choice for lower rainfall and clearer days. December to March is generally wetter, with more humidity and more frequent rain.
Getting around: Inter-island transfers are best planned via ferries and domestic flights. Once on Mahé and Praslin, travellers commonly use rental cars or taxis, while La Digue is best explored by bicycle.
Example hotel ideas by area include Ocean Terrace - Adults Only (Mahé Island), Villa Roscia (Beau Vallon), Cote d’Or Footprints (Praslin Island) and Cap Jean Marie Beach Villas (Grand'Anse Praslin).
