Which Seychelles Island Should You Stay on?

Before planning your Seychelles trip, it’s very important to understand where to stay and how that would help you get the most out of your trip. Planning your trip in this way helps you properly map out your interests and the best places for you to enjoy them without rushing your travels and tiring yourself out before the tour’s even over.

Thrillophilia always consults with the travellers to figure out the best route that would maximise the destination coverage while allowing you enough time to explore the Seychelles at your own pace.

Mahe

Mahe is the main tourist hub of the Seychelles, housing the international airport and the smallest capital city in the world, Victoria. Most trips start and end here because of the airport and inter-island ferry connectivity network. A stay in Mahé is perfect for sightseeing, easy beach access (25 min from the airport), and shopping at the local markets. It’s also a particularly good idea if you want to be located close to the airport for the commute access.

Best Highlights: Morne Seychellois National Park (20% of Mahé's land area), Ste Anne Marine Park, Beau Vallon beach, Sir Selwyn Clarke Market, and Victoria

Best for: First-timers, families, and divers 

Things to Do: Diving, swimming, and jetskiing at Beau Vallon Beach; glass-bottom boat ride in Ste Anne Marine Park; shopping at Sir Selwyn Clarke Market

Glass-bottom Boat Ride in Ste Anne Marine Park: Starts at INR 14,000+ per person for a full-day excursion, including lunch and sometimes snorkelling, depending on the package

Diving in Beau Vallon Beach: Starts at INR 10,000-12,000 per person for a dive session; usually operates from 8 am to 5 pm

Morne Seychellois National Park Entry: INR 1,600 to INR 1,800 per person

Praslin

Praslin is the reason why Seychelles is popular for its natural attractions. Home to Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, it houses the coco de mer palm, the world’s largest seed, up to 25 kg in weight. The Anse Lazio Beach, one of the best beaches in the world with its pink sand, is also located in Praslin. This region is a more nature- and beach-focused secluded area of the Seychelles, with Anse Georgette about a 20-min walk from Lemuria Resort.

Best Highlights: Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, Anse Lazio Beach, and Anse Georgette

Best for: Honeymooners, nature photographers, and beach enthusiasts

Things to Do: Boat trips to Curieuse Island, hiking to see coco de mer palms in Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, snorkelling, and relaxing at Anse Lazio Beach

How to Reach: The Cat Cocos ferry from Mahé, 1 hour 15 min, costs around INR 5,100 per person for one way. Prices vary based on seasons and water conditions.

Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve: Entry fee is around INR 2,000-2,800; a free guided tour on a shared basis is offered between 9 am and 2 pm

La Digue

If you want to relax and enjoy a complete digital detox, La Digue is the perfect place for it. The island has no cars, so transport is limited to bicycles and ox carts. Home to one of the most photographed beaches in the Indian Ocean, along with an estate featuring a vanilla plantation and a giant tortoise pen, sightseeing in La Digue is slow-paced, relaxed, and free from any rush. With fewer than 40 registered accommodations on the island, it is best to book at least 3 to 4 months in advance if you are travelling during peak season.

Best Highlights: Anse Source d'Argent (most photographed beach) and L'Union Estate

Best for: Couples, photographers, slow travel, and digital detox

Things to Do: Exploring the giant granite boulders, snorkelling and diving, and relaxing at Anse Source d'Argent; exploring the vanilla plantation, copra mill, and giant tortoise pen at L'Union Estate

How to Reach: The Cat Rose ferry from Praslin, 15 min, around INR 1,300 per person for a one-way trip. Prices vary based on seasons and water conditions.

Thrillophilia’s Summary: If you are a first-timer looking for the convenience of a commute to the airport and markets, then you should stay in Mahe. For privacy-focused and nature-heavy trips, you can stay at Praslin for its national reserve, water activities, and less crowded areas. For a complete peaceful escape, stay at La Digue, where you can travel only by bicycle and ox-cart.

Best Time to Visit Seychelles

Each tourist window of the Seychelles has something unique for each traveller. Your packing essentials also vary depending on what time you decide to plan to depart. According to the Seychelles Meteorological Authority, here is a month-by-month guide to help you time your Seychelles trip perfectly - 

April-May (27–29°C)

If you plan on booking a water activities-heavy itinerary, this window is perfect for you. With calm seas and low winds, this window has the best dive visibility, reaching up to 30 metres+. Since it’s not peak tourist season, you also get better deals on flights and hotels and have fewer crowds all around.

Best for: Divers, photography, honeymoons, and island hopping

Avoid if: You prefer lively experiences or are looking for the cheapest deals

Thrillophilia Insight: This season is gaining popularity steadily. Book at least 2-3 months before your departure to avoid any inflated pricing at the last minute

June-September (25–29°C)

This is the peak traveller season in the Seychelles. The weather is dry, yet cool, making it perfect for both outdoor activities and water sports. Sailing is also a very popular activity during this time because of the trade winds. Due to the overall good weather in this window, the increase in traveller visits results in inflated pricing of accommodations and flights.

Best for: Hiking, Sailing and other wind-based activities; first-timers; families; group travellers

Avoid if: You are a budget-conscious traveller looking for a peaceful trip with fewer crowds

Thrillophilia Insight: The northwest coast beaches are calm and great for diving and other water sports. The southeast-facing beaches, however, including Anse Intendance, experience rougher sea behaviour and stronger currents during this window. Plan your activity destinations accordingly.

October-November (28–30°C)

This window sees the transition into the peak monsoon season in Seychelles. With overall good weather for sightseeing and other outdoor activities, you are most likely to experience only light rain in this window. October creates the perfect conditions to spot sharks off the northwestern coast of Mahé. November significantly increases the chances of rain in most regions of the Seychelles. Since this is a shoulder season, flights and hotels offer better deals in comparison to the peak season.

Best for: Solo travellers, backpackers, marine life experiences, and sunset cruises

Avoid if: You prefer an outdoors-heavy itinerary or activity-packed plans

Thrillophilia Insight: Shark sightings do not follow a steady pattern. To increase your chances of spotting one, book your cruise or boat rides 1-2 days in advance, depending on the latest sighting news.

December-March (30-31°C)

This is the peak monsoon window of the Seychelles. With heavy and frequent rains up to 380mm across all regions, especially in December, this is the lowest travel season. Due to the decreased demand, hotels/resorts offer 20-30% offers on their stays. While this may sound like a good idea, note that ferry transfer cancellations are very common during this time due to strong currents and winds. Underwater visibility gets reduced to only 5-10 metres, with most diving and snorkelling sessions cancelled due to unsafe water conditions.

Best for: Travellers who want the cheapest deals and indoor-based itineraries

Avoid if: You are a first-time visitor, planning extensive sightseeing or water sports, or looking for a premium milestone trip

According to Thrillophilia 2025 Internal Booking Data, a 70% surge has been noticed in Seychelles tours during the shoulder seasons (April-May and October-November). This is because travellers increasingly prefer windows with fewer crowds so that they can travel at their own pace.

Do Indians Need a Visa for Seychelles?

No, Indian passport holders do not require a visa in order to travel to the Seychelles as of April 2026. However, they do need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure.

Steps for Online ETA Application:

• Visit the official Seychelles portal for the ETA application, or download the mobile app “Seychelles E-Border.”

• Fill out the form carefully with your personal details as required, and double-check them against your official documents.
• Upload digital copies of the required documents (passport and photograph).
• Submit trip details (confirmed flight and accommodation bookings).

We suggest completing this application process at least 10 days before your trip to avoid any last-minute hassles. You can choose to do it by yourself or ask for assistance from the Thrillophilia team.

Is Seychelles Safe for Indian Travellers? 

Seychelles is generally considered to be a traveller-friendly destination. However, it’s still important to consider and understand all possible issues you might face on the trip and the best ways to avoid them. Thrillophilia has 24/7 on-trip assistance for every Seychelles tour package; contact us immediately without any hesitation if you face any issues during your trip.

• General Safety: Seychelles is known for its low violent crime rates. However, petty crime reports in tourist places are common. Exercise general caution with your belongings and stay away from dark, isolated places late at night.
• Chikungunya Risk 2026: As reported by the CDC in February 2026, a Level 2 advisory was issued in Seychelles against chikungunya. Carry mosquito repellent and wear long sleeves after dusk. If possible, take the chikungunya vaccine 4-6 weeks before travel.
• Solo Female Traveller Safety: Exercising standard precautions like staying away from dark areas late at night and avoiding isolated places will be enough.
• Ferry Safety: Cat Cocos is a government-operated ferry service that is regularly inspected and equipped with life jackets on board. Check local weather updates for rough sea warnings and avoid taking the ferry during such conditions.
• Travel Insurance: There is only 1 main hospital in the Seychelles (Victoria, Mahé). Serious medical cases might require evacuation to Mauritius or India. We strongly recommend including travel insurance with your booked package so that you are well-protected against most medical issues.

Top Things to Do on a Seychelles Trip

Diving/Snorkelling: The Seychelles, known for its renowned beaches, also offers multiple snorkelling and diving spots. During peak season, water visibility ranges from 20 to 30 metres, with an average temperature of 28°C. Both activities are beginner-friendly, although having some swimming experience is preferred for diving. L’ilot is one of the best diving spots in Seychelles, known for its 18-metre depth, granite walls, and frequent hawksbill turtle sightings.

• Best Time: April to May and October (good visibility and calm seas)
• Best Locations: L’ilot Site, Coco Island Marine Park, St Pierre Island, and Ave Maria
• When to Avoid: May to September (windy weather and choppy and rough waters) and January to February (peak rainy season)

Copolia Trail Hike: With a 1.4 to 1.6 km stretch one way, it takes about 2 hours for a round trip on this trail. If you are a hiking enthusiast, make sure to visit this place on your trip. When you reach its granite peak, you are greeted by a complete view of Victoria and the St Anne Marine Park. The trail is beginner-friendly in most seasons.

Giant Tortoise Encounter: Tortoises can live for more than 150 years. Seychelles offers the only two islands in the world where giant tortoises roam free. This is something you simply have to experience for yourself, because it is truly one of a kind.

• Best Time: November to April (wet seasons make for the perfect conditions for increased tortoise activities)
• Best Locations: Curieuse Island and La Digue (L'Union Estate)
• When to Avoid: Noon visits (12-3 pm, tortoises hide in shade or stay inactive during this time)

Whale Shark Snorkelling: One of the more premium experiences in Seychelles, this involves taking a boat to the most popular sighting areas and trying to spot majestic whale sharks. You are always accompanied by a local expert, who guides and instructs you throughout the entire snorkelling experience.

• Best Time: October-November 
• Best Location: Northwest coast of Mahé 

Hidden Waterfall Trek: This is one of the most unique experiences that Seychelles can give you. If you want a less-travelled route with fewer crowds, this is a 40-min hike from Anse Lazio in Praslin. It’s a huge granite pool fed by a 6-metre waterfall and usually empty of most travellers by 8 am.

• Best Time: May to September (cool, dry weather)
• How to Reach: It’s a 15-min hike from the Valle de Mai Nature Reserve.
• When to Avoid: January to February (the trail is slippery due to the heavy rainfall)

Best Things to Eat in Seychelles

Seychelles cuisine has strong African, Indian, British, French, and Chinese influences. Most of their dishes are coconut- and seafood-based because it is a coastal country in East Africa.

Coconut Curry: Usually made with fish/chicken, it is a staple dish usually preferred for lunch and dinner. Upon request, they also offer a vegetarian version of this dish with assorted vegetables.

• Cost: INR 210 to INR 420
• Best Place to Try: Marie Antoinette Restaurant, Mahé (Creole institution since 1972)

Shark Chutney: It's a traditional Seychellois dish made from boiled, minced shark meat with onions, lemon, and spices. It's usually served cold as a side dish and has no vegetarian version.

• Cost: INR 110 to INR 210
• Best Places to Try: Local dhabas in Victoria; Sir Selwyn Clarke Market

Grilled Red Snapper: Also known as 'Pwason Griye' or 'Bourzwa Grillé', it is a signature Seychellois dish. It’s a whole red snapper marinated with garlic, ginger, chillies, lime juice, soy sauce, and thyme and then grilled over slow heat over charcoal. It’s a must-try dish on your Seychelles trip. There is no vegetarian version available of this.

• Cost: INR 280 to INR 560
• Best Places to Try: Any beachside restaurant; Café des Arts, Praslin

Breadfruit: Also known as 'uru', it's a French-inspired staple, a starchy food roasted whole over a wood fire with a soft, smoky interior. There is a saying in Seychelles that if you eat breadfruit while visiting, you’re “bound to return to the islands”. The best part? It is a vegetarian dish.

• Cost: INR 70 to INR 140
• Best Places to Try: All local restaurants as a side dish

Lentil Dhal + Coconut Chatini: This dish pairs red lentil dal in a creamy base made with coconut milk, turmeric, and garlic with a spicy coconut chutney. It’s a staple vegetarian dish, and most restaurants prepare a Jain version of it when informed while ordering.

• Cost: INR 85 to INR 170
• Best Places to Try: Local Creole restaurants (ask specifically for it)

Ladob Dessert: It’s served as both a sweet and a savoury dish. The sweet version includes breadfruit, ripe plantains, and sweet potatoes traditionally. They are boiled in a sauce made from coconut milk, sugar, vanilla pod, and nutmeg.

• Cost: INR 85 to INR 140
• Best Places to Try: Windflower Cafe (Mahe), and local roadside stalls and takeaways

Indian Restaurants in Mahe: Mahek Indian Restaurant (Victoria area) and The Maharaja's serve full Indian menus with an assortment of vegetarian and Jain options. For vegetarian options at your hotel/resort, inform them in advance of your dietary preferences. 

What to Pack for a Seychelles Holiday from India in 2026

• DEET Mosquito Repellent: This is the most important thing to carry on a Seychelles trip due to the recent cautionary advice against Chikungunya. Apply at dusk or dawn and wear full sleeves on national park visits.
• Reef-safe Sunscreen: Chemical sunscreens are harmful to corals. Only use biodegradable and mineral-based sunscreens. It’s a mandatory item for national parks.
• Water Shoes/Reef Shoes: Standard sandals don’t have enough grip for secure explorations of granite rocks. It’s an essential item, especially for beaches like Anse Royale.
• Light, Long-Sleeve Shirt: This is necessary for protection against mosquitoes. If you plan on hiking, it’s essential for Vallée de Mai forest trails.
• Waterproof Phone Pouch: This is just a cautionary item to protect your phone during ferry crossings, kayaking, and snorkelling.
• UK Type G Adapter: Seychelles commonly uses British 3-pin sockets. Indian plugs won’t fit without an adapter.
• Cash: Some ticket counters, especially at Valle de Mai, don’t accept digital payments. Carry both to avoid any entry-related issues.
• ETA Authorisation printout: This is a mandatory requirement at immigration. Carry both printed and digital copies.
• Travel Insurance Documents: This is a mandatory requirement. Carry the documents and policy with medical evacuation coverage.
