Seychelles holidays for all budgets, from cheap to luxury

Spend your Seychelles holidays lounging on white-sand beaches, or wander inland to discover colonial houses and nature-packed national parks.

Scattered across the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is a nation of more than 100 sand-fringed tropical islands. At the centre of it all is Victoria, Africa's smallest capital city, where you'll find quaint old buildings that hint towards the islands' colonial past. Here, on the island of Mahe, the landscape is mountainous and dramatic, but many of the islands further north look like specks of sand jutting out of the crystal-clear water. Nearby Praslin Island, in the northeast corner of the Seychelles, is home to thick forests and multicoloured coral reefs.

Best of Seychelles holidays for...

Relaxing: Take a boat from Mahe to Silhouette, an island without roads, where you can spend your days snoozing under the swaying trees and your nights sipping cocktails on the wonderfully soft sands.
Romance: The tiny island of La Digue is one of the most isolated spots in the Seychelles. As the sun sets, take a table at one of the island's beachfront restaurants and wash down freshly prepared fish dishes with a glass of bubbly.
Active types: It's rare to hear jet skis disturbing the peace in the Seychelles, but you can still get some of the thrill of whizzing across the water in a good old-fashioned sailboat. Spend a day hopping between the islands, stopping now and then to dive into the water.
Grown-up families: Discover hidden beaches and secluded snorkelling spots that'll keep the whole family captivated on an organised tour around Mahe Island. The guides will even prepare spicy Creole food for you to try at lunchtime.
Kids & teens: Let youngsters loose on activities like painting, archery and water sports at one of the Seychelles' dedicated kids' clubs. With activities to keep kids of all ages happy on their Seychelles holidays, there'll be plenty of time for you to relax on the beach.
Free & cheap: The shady botanical gardens in Victoria are a great place to cool down when the midday sun feels hottest. Look out for the giant tortoises!
Nightlife: Big hotels on the island of Mahe often have live music and dance shows after dark. Enjoy a good meal and a couple of beers, and you might just find yourself joining the performers on the dance floor.
