Best Time to Visit Seychelles
Seychelles is a year-round destination, but the best times to visit are during the transition months of April, May, October, and November. During these periods, the winds are calm, providing excellent visibility for snorkeling and diving. The weather is generally warm and humid, with occasional tropical showers that keep the islands lush and green.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). However, major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are widely accepted in luxury resorts, high-end restaurants, and for transport services. It is recommended to keep some local cash for small purchases at markets. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory, as most establishments include a 10% service charge.
Getting Around Seychelles
For a luxury experience, inter-island travel is best handled via domestic flights (Air Seychelles) or business-class ferry services (Cat Cocos). Within the islands, private chauffeur services are the preferred method of transport for comfort and efficiency. For ultimate exclusivity, private helicopter transfers via Zil Air provide seamless connectivity between resorts and the international airport.
