Seychelles

When you’re imagining a getaway to the Seychelles, the sheer beauty of it all pulls you in. I’ve found that figuring out the best time to visit is key to soaking it all in, especially when you’re traveling with family. The weather is always a big consideration, isn’t it? Seychelles Weather Patterns The islands generally offer warm, tropical weather all year long. However, the trade winds shape two distinct seasons. From May through September, it’s typically drier and feels a bit cooler. Then, from October to April, the weather warms up and sees more rainfall. The periods at the

Hello from this corner of paradise! I’m Emily Carter, and I’ve found a special rhythm traveling through Italy with my husband Michael and our two little ones, Lily and Ethan. Sometimes, when the work allows, we’ll set up a temporary base in a charming Italian town, soaking in the local life while I work on my travel stories. Today, I want to share some thoughts on a place that has truly captured my heart: the Seychelles. Charming Praslin Beaches Praslin is such a gem. It’s a place where the vibrant green of the tropical foliage meets the impossibly blue

On a Saturday morning at Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market in Victoria, the air carries cinnamon, grilled fish, and ripe papaya in equal measure. It’s the kind of sensory introduction to Mahé that no resort restaurant can replicate. Mahé Island is the largest island in Seychelles and the main entry point for nearly every traveller, yet most visitors treat it as a one-night stop before rushing to Praslin or La Digue. This guide collects the spots that locals actually visit — trails they hike on weekends, markets they shop at for dinner, and coves they escape to when the cruise

Mahé, oh Mahé. It’s one of those places that just wraps you up in its beauty, isn’t it? I’ve found myself drawn back to its shores many times, each visit revealing a new layer of its charm. This time, though, my trip has a slightly different flavor—a remote work stint in the southern part of the island. And when you’re working remotely, especially with the kids in tow, the first question that pops into my head isn’t about the best beach for snorkeling, but rather, “Will my internet hold up?” Connectivity on Mahé The southern reaches of Mahé are

In March 2024, three foreign women were attacked by an armed assailant on the Copolia Trail on Mahé Island — during daylight hours, while hiking in a group. The incident, which left the women with minor injuries, is a rare but real reminder that opportunistic crime in Seychelles is not confined to dark streets or empty beaches. Most of the 300,000-plus tourists who visit each year leave without any safety incident, and the U.S. State Department rates Seychelles at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions, its lowest advisory level. But the gap between a trouble-free trip and a serious

Mahé in the Seychelles is truly a gem, and I’ve found myself drawn back to its shores time and again. It’s a place that unfolds its beauty gradually, revealing something new with each visit. The feeling of discovery never truly fades, even after I’ve spent countless hours exploring its nooks and crannies. Island’s Natural Beauty The natural beauty of Mahé is absolutely breathtaking. It’s not just the famous beaches, though they are stunning. There’s a vibrant, lush green that covers the mountains, creating a dramatic backdrop to the turquoise waters. I always find myself reaching for my camera, trying
