Best Time to Visit Seychelles
The best time to visit Seychelles for a luxury escape is during the transition months of April, May, October, and November. During these periods, the winds are calm, the seas are flat—perfect for boat charters—and the visibility for snorkeling is at its peak. The weather is warm and tropical year-round, but these months offer the most comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Seychelles Rupee (SCR). However, most luxury resorts, high-end restaurants, and tour operators quote prices in Euros or US Dollars and accept major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard are preferred). While tipping is not mandatory as service charges are often included, a gratuity of 5-10% for exceptional private service is customary in the luxury sector.
Getting Around Seychelles
For a premium experience, inter-island travel is best handled by Air Seychelles domestic flights between Mahé and Praslin, taking only 15 minutes. For movement between islands like La Digue or private islands, helicopter transfers via Zil Air or private speedboat charters are the preferred methods. On the islands, hiring a private chauffeur is the most comfortable way to navigate the winding coastal roads.
