Islands
Praslin
Praslin is where most travellers realise they have arrived. Anse Lazio delivers what the photographs promise, and the Vallée de Mai is one of only two places on Earth where the coco de mer grows wild.
Quieter, slower, home to the islands' most famous forest
The island is small enough to circle in a day and big enough to fill a week. Côte d'Or in the east is the hotel coast, with shallow, calm water. Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette are in the northwest and both need a little planning — Georgette is reached through a resort's grounds, which is exactly why it stays empty. Do the Vallée de Mai early, before the day boats from Mahé arrive.
The coco de mer grows wild in only two places on Earth, both in Seychelles: the Vallée de Mai on Praslin and on Curieuse. Its seed is the heaviest of any plant known.

FAQ
Common questions
How many islands should we combine?
Two for seven nights, three for ten to fourteen. Every island change costs you half a day, and transfer days fall right in the middle of the trip. Squeeze three islands into a week and you spend the holiday moving luggage.
Do we need a visa?
Seychelles requires no tourist visa from any nationality. You need a valid passport, a confirmed return ticket, proof of accommodation, travel insurance and an online Travel Authorisation completed before departure. Please re-check the current requirements shortly before travelling — they can change.
When is the best time to travel?
There is no bad month, only different conditions. April and October are the calmest shoulder months with the clearest water. May to September brings the southeast trade wind: fresher, windier, seaweed on some east coasts. December to March is wetter and greener, but emptier and cheaper. What matters is less the month than picking the right coast for it.
Before you book
Three islands in seven nights?
It is the most common mistake in Seychelles. Every island change costs half a day, and the transfer days land in the middle of the trip. One conversation beforehand prevents it.
