Seychelles Beach Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The two seasons in the Seychelles are defined by the warmer and wetter northwest winds from October to April, and the cooler and drier southeast winds from May to September.
  • January is the wettest month, and the isles of Mahe and Silhouette are the rainiest.
  • Although most of the Seychelles are located outside of the Indian Ocean cyclone zone, between December and March cyclone activity in the general region can still bring gray, windy weather.
  • Although the Seychelles are generally safe for single female travelers, it's best to stick to populated beaches and not isolated ones.

Beach Overview: Seychelles

By Matt Link
The Seychelles come in two types: 41 granite islands, known as the Inner Islands, and 74 coral islands, called the Outer Islands. Most of the population lives on the Inner Islands, while the Outer Islands are left wild and untouched by civilization. The Seychelles are heralded for their extensive conservation efforts, and a good chunk of the island group is made up of national parks and marine reserves, including six national marine parks and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Aldabra, the world's largest raised coral atoll and home to giant land tortoises, and Praslin's Vallée de Mai, a lush land-based ecosystem.
