Hotels in Seychelles

Seychelles is an island located off the coast of East Africa. Being closer to the Equator means this archipelago in the Indian Ocean experiences pleasant temperatures all year round. Among the cities you can stay in is the Seychelles capital, Victoria, located on the northeastern coast of Mahé Island. Victoria’s charm, layered history, vibrant architecture, and paid tours to hotspots like Victoria Falls, the Botanical Garden that’s home to giant land tortoises, and more will keep you entertained throughout your trip to Seychelles. Luckily, you can book hotels in Seychelles, such as the Cerf Island Resort and The Ridge Resort, to ensure you’re in proximity to top area attractions. If you’re visiting the popular islands of Mahe and Praslin, you can rely on the local bus to get around. Also, there’re taxis in all major Seychelles islands, including affordable ferry services and bicycles for those visiting La Digue.

If you’re looking for island-style wildlife and sightseeing opportunities, add La Digue Island to your travel bucket list. With a paid tour, you can visit the untouched granite Island of Cousin for a chance to see several exotic bird species and endangered animals like the Seychelles Inter Alia, Brush Warbler, Hawksbill Turtle, etc. Nature lovers will appreciate a paid guided tour of The Aride Island Nature Reserve, which hosts the world’s largest habitat of lizards and seabird species. Fregate Island is popular for water activities like yachting, scuba diving, and snorkeling, while a paid tour to the iconic Vallée de Mai National Park will give you a glimpse of the flora and fauna of a UNESCO-recognised prehistoric forest. Staying in Seychelles hotels like Hilton Labriz Resort and Spa or Fisherman’s Cove will ensure you’re within reach of the abovementioned area attractions.

While most hotels have in-house entertainment, the city’s nightlife is centered around Mahé and Praslin islands as that’s where you’ll find a concentration of cheap hotels in Seychelles that attract budget-conscious travelers like the Mango House, DoubleTree by Hilton, STORY Seychelles, etc. Nightlife in Seychelles is not limited to casinos, bars, and nightclubs. There is a night market in Beau Vallon that sells traditional Creole food like rice with fish, spicy fried eggplant, braised bananas, breadfruit chips, fresh fish, etc. Nearly every Creole meal you sample at restaurants like Marie Antoinette, La Plaine St. Andre, La Scala, Bravo, and Saffron Restaurant will contain tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, grapefruits, and jackfruit. After a satisfying brunch, you can laze around the UNESCO-recognised, Isle de Palme, coveted for having two of the most stunning beaches in the world, Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette. Or, take a stroll of Seychelles’ mountain ranges to appreciate the local wildlife and plants in Mahe Island.

Seychelles enjoys a year-round, tropical climate that attracts international travels. April to October is especially favorable for birdwatching activities in Bird Island, but there will always be sightseeing opportunities, no matter the time of year you visit. If you stay in Seychelles hotels like Ja Enchante Island Resort, Constance Ephelia, or the Kempinski Resort, you can see the iconic Victoria Clock Tower. Grann Kaz is a historic traditional homestead that’s been perfectly preserved to give visitors and locals a nostalgic glimpse of the simplicity and charm of Creole life as it was in the 20th century. The three-winged Bicentennial Monument is a representation of the ethnic groups of Africa, Europe, and Asia and was erected to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the town of Victoria. Take photos at the political landmark, “Zonm Lib” Liberation Monument, then get the best views of Mahe Island atop the summit of Mission Lodge. To get the most out of your time in Seychelles, we recommend joining guided tours to the abovementioned area attractions.
