FAQs/Essential Information
Everything you need to know before you go.
What is the best time of year to visit the Seychelles?
expand_more
The Seychelles is a year-round destination, but the best time for sailing, snorkeling, and diving is during the calmest months: April/May and October/November. If you prefer cooler, breezy weather, visit from June to September.
Do I need a visa to enter the Seychelles?
expand_more
The Seychelles is a visa-free destination for all visitors. However, all travelers must obtain a Seychelles Travel Authorization online before departure. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay.
What makes the Seychelles different from other beach destinations?
expand_more
The Seychelles offers a "granitic" island experience found nowhere else, characterized by massive, uniquely shaped granite boulders, world-famous beaches like Anse Source d'Argent, and immense biodiversity. It is a premium destination focused on privacy, luxury, and ecological preservation.
How do I travel between the islands?
expand_more
We curate seamless transfers for our guests using high-speed catamarans (the Cat Cocos), domestic flights between islands like Mahé and Praslin, or private helicopter transfers for ultimate convenience and speed.
Is the Seychelles safe for international travelers?
expand_more
The Seychelles is exceptionally safe and ranks as one of the most peaceful countries in Africa and the Indian Ocean. Standard travel safety applies, but you can enjoy the islands with peace of mind.
What is the official currency, and can I use foreign cash?
expand_more
The currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). However, most tourism-related services (hotels, excursions, and domestic flights) are priced and paid for in Euros or US Dollars. Credit cards are widely accepted at all major resorts and boutiques.
Is it possible to go island-hopping on a budget?
expand_more
While the Seychelles is known for its luxury resorts, we can design a "boutique" island-hopping experience by mixing charming locally-owned guesthouses with select high-end resorts, allowing you to experience the authentic island culture without compromising on comfort.
Do I need vaccinations for the Seychelles?
expand_more
There are no mandatory vaccinations for travelers arriving from non-endemic countries. Always check your specific flight route, as you may need a Yellow Fever certificate if you are transiting through a high-risk area.
Are there strict environmental rules for visitors?
expand_more
Yes, and this is why the islands remain pristine. It is strictly prohibited to collect seashells, coral, or any natural artifacts from beaches. We work exclusively with eco-conscious partners who adhere to the strict "Leave No Trace" policies of the Seychelles Islands Foundation.
What is the tipping culture?
expand_more
Tipping is not compulsory, but it is standard practice to tip for great service in high-end resorts. A tip of 5–10% at restaurants or small daily amounts for housekeeping staff is appreciated as a gesture of gratitude.
Is the Seychelles a good family destination?
expand_more
Absolutely. Many of our partner resorts feature dedicated kids' clubs, shallow beaches, and family villas. We specialize in tailoring itineraries that balance relaxation for parents with engaging nature activities for children, such as giant tortoise encounters.
