Frequently asked questions about hotels in Seychelles
What are the best landmarks to visit in the Seychelles?
For iconic landmarks, you shouldn't miss the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its coco de mer palms. On Mahé, the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens showcase the islands' diverse flora, and the Mission Lodge, a historical building, offers a glimpse into the past. Victoria, the capital, boasts the colourful Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market, a vibrant hub for local produce.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Seychelles?
What are some must-do activities in the Seychelles?
Seychelles offers a plethora of activities. Snorkelling or diving in the crystal-clear waters around Sainte Anne Marine National Park is a must. Exploring Curieuse Island, known for its giant tortoises, is a unique experience. Hiking to the summit of Morne Blanc on Mahé provides breathtaking panoramic views. For a more relaxed pace, consider a sunset catamaran cruise.
The best time to visit is during the drier months, from April to October. This period boasts sunny skies and calmer seas, perfect for water sports and outdoor activities. However, the Seychelles are beautiful year-round, with each season offering its own charm.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Seychelles?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in the Seychelles?
For a week-long stay, consider basing yourself on Mahé. Beau Vallon offers a lively beachfront atmosphere with plenty of restaurants and shops. For a more tranquil experience, explore the quieter areas of Anse Royale or Baie Lazare, known for their stunning beaches and laid-back vibe. Praslin, with its iconic Anse Lazio beach, is also an excellent choice for a longer stay.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Seychelles?
Which parts of the Seychelles are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway is best spent on Mahé, due to its proximity to the airport. Focus on exploring the beaches around Victoria, like Beau Vallon or Anse Takamaka, or enjoy a day trip to a nearby island like Silhouette or Moyenne Island.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Seychelles?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring the Seychelles?
Renting a car is recommended, particularly on Mahé and Praslin, to explore at your own pace. Public transport is available but can be infrequent. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Seychelles?
Are credit cards widely accepted in the Seychelles?
Credit cards are widely accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, particularly Visa and Mastercard. However, it's always advisable to carry some Seychelles Rupees (SCR) for smaller establishments and local markets.
What are the largest airports in the Seychelles?
The main international airport is Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé. There are also smaller domestic airports on Praslin and other islands, mainly used for inter-island flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about the Seychelles?
Seychellois culture is generally relaxed and welcoming. Modest attire is appreciated when visiting religious sites. Respecting local customs and traditions is always important. Remember to be mindful of the environment and dispose of your waste responsibly.
What local specialties should you try in the Seychelles?
Don't miss trying the Seychelles' delicious cuisine. Try the local fish curry, often made with red snapper or jobfish. Also sample the various fruit-based dishes, such as breadfruit and papaya, and the unique coco de mer ice cream.
Where are the best shopping spots in the Seychelles?
The Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market in Victoria is a great place to find local crafts, souvenirs, and spices. Many shops in Beau Vallon and other tourist areas sell clothing, jewellery, and other goods. For high-end boutiques, explore the shops in the hotels.
What signature events or festivals take place in the Seychelles?
The Seychelles Carnival is a vibrant celebration featuring colourful parades and cultural performances. Other smaller local festivals celebrate harvest time and religious occasions throughout the year, often featuring traditional music and dance.
What’s the best place in the Seychelles for mild and comfortable weather?
The Seychelles generally enjoy mild and comfortable weather year-round. However, the central and western parts of Mahé, particularly around Victoria, tend to experience slightly less extreme temperatures than the more exposed coastal areas.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in the Seychelles?
One common mistake is underestimating the distances between islands and not planning travel time accordingly. Another is not booking accommodation and activities in advance, especially during peak season. Failing to bring sufficient sunscreen and insect repellent is also a frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in the Seychelles?
Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue is often cited, but less-visited beaches like Anse Cocos on La Digue or Anse Patates on Mahé offer equally stunning scenery with fewer crowds. Consider exploring the less-developed islands like Aride Island, a haven for birdlife, or Cousin Island, known for its abundant wildlife.
