Seychelles holidays

When you think of Seychelles, you imagine 115 idyllic islands, coral blue waters, luminous granitic boulders, and a slow rhythm that makes time feel optional. Salt air drifts through palm groves, waves hush over powder white coves, and forested peaks rise behind sleepy harbours. Fishermen mend nets beside brightly painted pirogues, cyclists roll along lanes fringed with frangipani, and market stalls overflow with cinnamon, chillies, and vanilla. From the moment you arrive, the islands reveal their delicate balance, wild yet welcoming, remote yet reassuringly familiar, but infinitely tranquil.


Did you know: If you’re a Qatar Airways Privilege Club member, when you book your next holiday to Seychelles, you will earn Avios on your entire holiday package in addition to those earned on your flight! You can also pay for your booking with Cash + Avios, so you will be spending even less on your Seychelles adventure.

Seychelles holiday Packages

If you want dining variety, watersports, and easy logistics, base yourself on Mahé’s north coast (Beau Vallon and Bel Ombre): beachside promenades, calm swimming, and quick access to Victoria’s markets. For a quieter, barefoot luxury feel, south Mahé (Baie Lazare, Anse Intendance, Anse Royale) offers intimate coves, rainforest trails, and sunset facing villas. Seeking postcard beaches and a softer tempo? Praslin puts you close to Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette, and the UNESCO listed Vallée de Mai. For car-free charm and cycling between beaches, La Digue is the island of slow mornings, ox cart heritage, and the sculpted boulders of Anse Source d’Argent. Romance or retreat in mind? Consider a private island escape (Silhouette, Denis, Félicité) where castaway seclusion comes with reef to table dining and guided nature walks.

    Seychelles holiday experiences

    • Wander the sands of Anse Source d’Argent (La Digue): Pink-tinged granite curves into shallow, clear lagoons where the sea is as gentle as a sigh. Come early or late to watch light pool between boulders and palms; it is one of those rare places that looks exactly like the dream you carried here.
       
    • Trace primeval palms in Vallée de Mai (Praslin): A living relic forest where coco de mer palms arch overhead like cathedral vaults. Follow shaded paths, listen for the Seychelles black parrot, and feel the hush of a landscape that has changed little since deep time.
       
    • Hike the Copolia Trail (Mahé): A short, rewarding climb through cinnamon and endemic flora leads to a granite dome with epic views over Victoria, the Sainte Anne Marine Park, and that forever changing gradient of blues. Pack water; linger for the trade winds.
       
    • Glide over reefs in Sainte Anne Marine National Park: Snorkel or join a glass bottom boat to float above gardens of hard coral, butterflyfish, and turtles. Between swims, picnic on an islet and watch dhows slip across the channel.
       
    • Meet the giants of Curieuse Island: Stroll mangrove boardwalks and sandy flats where Aldabra giant tortoises lumber, unhurried and inquisitive. Rangers share conservation stories; the red earth interior and granite headlands frame a wilder side of Seychelles.
       
    • Sip and savour at La Plaine St. André (Takamaka Rum Distillery, Mahé): Explore a restored plantation house, sample island distilled rums infused with vanilla and local spice, then dine under takamaka trees as the evening folds into stars.
       
    • Browse the Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market (Victoria): A kaleidoscope of chillies, breadfruit, bananas, and reef fresh fish, with spice stalls and handwoven baskets. Go early for the bustle, stay for a samosa, and people watch from the gallery.
