Seychelles’ Spots

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.

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

It’s quite something how a place can capture your heart with its sheer beauty, yet also leave you with a lingering sense of caution. Seychelles, with its impossibly blue waters and lush green hills, is a destination that does just that. I’ve been fortunate enough to explore its islands multiple times, and each visit reveals a new layer of its charm and complexity. Island Charm and Hidden Risks The allure of Seychelles is undeniable, drawing you in with its promise of tropical paradise. I remember my first visit, expecting nothing but sun-drenched relaxation.

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

I’ve always felt a deep connection to the sea, a rhythm I first learned growing up along the Kenyan coast. Now, the allure of Seychelles feels like a new chapter waiting to be written, a place where that same coastal spirit thrives. There’s a part of me that feels it’s the perfect place to start fresh, to weave my life into a new tapestry of island living.

Stepping onto La Digue feels like entering a postcard, a place where time seems to slow down and the vibrant blues of the ocean meet the lush greens of tropical foliage. It’s an island that whispers invitations to explore at your own pace, and for me, that’s always the most rewarding way to travel. Michael and our little ones, Lily and Ethan, often marvel at how a place can feel so untouched, yet so welcoming. Choosing Your Island Wheels The very first thing that strikes you about La Digue is the quiet hum of bicycles. This is the island’s

The Seychelles islands are a dream for any traveler, a place where emerald jungles meet turquoise waters and time seems to slow down. I’ve found myself drawn back to their shores over the years, each visit revealing something new. They have a magic that settles into your soul, especially when you’re looking for a bit of everything—relaxation, adventure, and authentic culture. Weather in November November marks a lovely turning point in the Seychelles. The winds begin to shift, bringing a gentle warmth and a bit more humidity. For me, this means lush greenery and skies that often feature dramatic,

My travel adventure, nearing its end, has been a peculiar culinary journey. For weeks, I’ve been exploring, and frankly, I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by the food. We’ve tried everything from cozy local eateries to more upscale dining spots, and even quick takeaways. Still, none of the meals really made me say, “Wow, this is absolutely perfect!” Even when we picked up ingredients from different stores to cook ourselves, the results were consistently lackluster. It’s made me wonder how the local people manage to find delicious food regularly. Pasta Puzzles and Dairy Dilemmas My kitchen experiments started with pasta.

My heart always leaps a little when I think about the Seychelles. They are truly a special place, a scattering of emerald islands in the vast Indian Ocean. When planning our visits, especially during certain times of the year, a little foresight about the natural rhythms of the islands makes all the difference for that perfect, tranquil beach day.
