Bet you can’t say “Sally sells seashells in Seychelles” five times fast. No worries, because you can book fabulous hotels in Seychelles on the fly instead. Floating in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, Seychelles has brilliant beaches and landlubber-approved hiking trails where you can skip out on the buzz of the big city without missing one sip of the luxey holiday life.

Things to Do in Seychelles

Mahé, the largest island, is home to the capital city of Victoria on the northeast coastline. For the best views of Victoria, take a hike up Morne Blanc, a mountain southwest of the city. In the centre of Mahé, take a tour of the Takamaka Rum Distillery and La Plaine St. André. Yes, it’s a rum farm, but it’s an official heritage site, so it’s educational. Bottoms up!

When you need some quality beach time, hop on a ferry to Praslin Island, known for its quiet, clear beaches and superb snorkelling. La Digue Island isn’t too shabby on the beachfront either.

Seychelles is home to a fusion of cultures, with indigenous Creole customs at the centre. The best way to get a taste for this combination is to sit down to dinner. Fish, seafood and veggies are smothered in savoury chilli sauce. The occasional fruit bat shows up on the menu—aka roussettes—but after a few glasses of palm wine you’ll be up for an adventure without batting an eye. Sleep it off in your pick of Seychelles hotels and wake up ready to make another splash.

Getting To & Around Seychelles

Touch down at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), located about 10km southeast of Victoria. Snagging a lastminute.co.nz car hire deal is the easiest way to see lots of the islands. Add ferry rides to the mix for any floating and you’re golden—literally.
