Best Time to Visit Seychelles
The best time to visit the Seychelles is during the transition seasons of April to May and October to November. During these months, the winds are light, the seas are calm, and the weather is warm and pleasant, making it ideal for snorkeling, diving, and sailing. The southeast monsoon (May to September) brings cooler, drier weather but choppier seas, while the northwest monsoon (December to March) is warmer and wetter.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR), but Euros and US Dollars are widely accepted in luxury hotels and upscale restaurants. Credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are the standard for most transactions in premium establishments. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; usually, a 5-10% tip for exceptional service in restaurants is common, as most places already include a service charge.
Getting Around Seychelles
For a luxury traveler, the best way to move between the main islands of Mahe and Praslin is via a 15-minute Air Seychelles domestic flight or a private Zil Air helicopter. For the short hop to La Digue, the Cat Cocos ferry offers a premium business class lounge. On the islands, private chauffeur-driven cars or high-end SUV rentals are the most comfortable ways to explore. On La Digue, luxury e-bikes are the preferred method of transport due to the island's limited car access.
