WHY GO

Dramatic granite boulders, powder-white beaches and impossibly clear turquoise water give the Seychelles one of the most distinctive landscapes in the Indian Ocean. With private-island resorts, exceptional beaches and a wonderfully secluded feel, it’s an especially beautiful choice for honeymoons, romantic escapes and a luxurious finish to safari.

WHEN TO GO

Seychelles is a year-round destination, with warm tropical temperatures throughout the year. May–September brings the trade winds and generally drier, breezier conditions, while October–April is warmer with calmer seas. The transitional periods can be particularly appealing for diving and snorkelling.

NOT SURE WHICH SAFARI DESTINATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

That’s where I come in. The best safari isn’t necessarily the most expensive one — it’s the one that matches how you want to travel.
