The Seychelles is a group of 115 islands, made up of coral and granite islands, based just outside the cyclone belt. 57% of land is reserved for conservation. The conservation program is of the most importance and being taught to children from a young age. United Nations has declared the Seychelles a successful island state when it comes to successful conservation.
Being located close to the equator, whether your vacation is in June or December you can expect perfectly balmy and warm weather.
Due to its location in the path of trade routes, the Seychelles is a wonderfully multicultural destination. People of all backgrounds live harmoniously, blending cultures from Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Culinary choices run the gamut with options for every taste and flavour, and plenty of spices to enjoy.
With the Seychelles being a visa-free country, it is the perfect destination for those seeking comfort, safety, and memories to last a lifetime.
Visit the little villages in the south of the main island or take a boat to neighbouring islands. Discover stunning beaches with excellent snorkelling from the uncrowded beach.
A combination of 3 islands: Mahe, Prale, and La Digue is an excellent start for a first visit to the Seychelles. There are no cars on La Digue but you can either walk, cycle, or use an ox cart as transport.
Honeymoon heaven 🏝️
You can enjoy total exclusion on one of the smaller islands that is owned by one of the luxury hotel groups. Here, celebrities such as soccer stars and royalty enjoy their holidays. This is also one of the islands where Prince William and Princess Kate enjoyed their honeymoon!

Updates
About the COVID travel regulations (updated 16 Nov 20)
The infection rate in the Seychelles has remained very low since the start of the pandemic with just over 150 cases in total. Being a group of islands, Seychelles has to remain careful but travel restrictions have eased and the islands are open for tourists from specific points of origin (to be verified at time of booking).
Travellers only need to present a negative PCR test that is not older than 72 hours on entry.
In addition, all travellers to Seychelles will have to take a COVID-19 PCR test on the sixth day after they arrive.
The cost of this test, to be conducted on both foreigners and Seychellois travelling to Seychelles, will be covered by the government.
Regulations are evolving on a constant basis and need to be re-checked at time of travel. We are however confident that the Seychelles are a very safe travel destination in this regard.
