Helpful information on budgets

The Seychelles are a rarity in modern tourism in that they remain untouched and unspoiled by mass tourism and the country has retained its reputation as a high quality, exclusive destination. As a result the Seychelles are more expensive than other destinations in the Indian Ocean. Are they worth it? Yes: visiting these islands is a truly unique experience with the added bonus of fewer tourists and deserted beaches...

SEASONS: High season in the Seychelles generally tends to fall during school holidays (Christmas, Easter, July, August to mid-September and half-terms in October and February) and consequently prices for both flights and accommodation tend to be at their highest. This is not always the case with all the hotels and we can advise you of alternative options if you can be flexible with your dates.

AIRLINES: Only scheduled airlines fly to the Seychelles. Generally speaking airfares to the Indian Ocean are around £300-600 but be prepared to pay an additional £200-400 in taxes and surcharges. Fares are usually less expensive if you travel out midweek. We will always seek the best available fares at the time of quoting/booking.

HOTELS: The cost of rooms will vary from less than £100 to over £1000 per person per night, depending on where and when you’re travelling. Our advice is always to take the best room type available to your budget, especially as you may only visit these islands once in your lifetime.

ISLAND HOPPING: Staying on more than one island during your holiday is the ideal way to experience the different islands of the Seychelles. The catamaran services, domestic flights and transfers will add to the basic cost of staying somewhere for 7 nights (added transfers typically from £180 per person for an additional main island), but it is well worth it. As the islands are so small, the transfers themselves don’t take up too much time in the day and they are an ideal way to experience and visit the islands themselves.

DURATION – HOTEL OFFERS: Many hotels will offer complimentary nights for longer stays (for even as few as 4 consecutive nights) and details can be found on the OFFERS page on the hotel information pages.

Praslin

Praslin is Seychelles’ second largest island. It lies 28 miles to the northeast of Mahé and measures just 7 miles by 3 miles. International flights arrive on Mahé and transfers across to Praslin are either by fast catamaran (45 minutes) or an Air Seychelles domestic flight (15 minutes).

This island is even quieter than Mahé with an even slower pace to daily life. It features truly exquisite sandy beaches such as Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette. For avid and learner divers, Praslin is excellent for scuba diving and is surrounded by some of the most popular dive sites, where you can encounter baby sharks, turtles and families of whale sharks during the months of June-August.

Praslin is the site of the legendary Vallée de Mai, one of Seychelles’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This is where the world-renowned Coco-de-Mer, the world's largest nut, grows high on ancient 40-metre palms. A guided tour will reveal the mysteries of a twilight world that bustles with life from the carpet of leaves of the forest floor to the canopy above, inhabited by tiny frogs, lizards, chameleons, 6 species of endemic palm, and the Seychelles Black Parrot.

Praslin also provides a base for excursions to neighbouring islands including Cousin, Curieuse, St. Pierre, The Sister’s Islands and Coco Island. Some of these islets are important sanctuaries nurturing rare species of endemic flora and fauna.
