Indian Ocean Seychelles
Island Paradise in the Indian Ocean
A paradise for the honeymoon The Seychelles consist of 115 islands and are known for dreamlike beaches, unspoiled nature and an exotic flora and wildlife. The islands in the Indian Ocean are especially popular with honeymooners.
- The Seychelles vary noticeably from island to island: the main islands Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are ideal for combining culture, beaches and island-hopping by ferry or small aircraft, while the remote Outer Islands offer absolute exclusivity with private one-island resorts.
- Thanks to their location outside the cyclone belt, the Seychelles can be visited virtually year-round; the months from May to September bring pleasantly fresh winds and clear diving visibility, while December to March is warmer and calmer for boat excursions.
- Lufthansa, Discover Airlines and Condor operate nonstop flights from Frankfurt to Mahé, with a flight time of around 11 hours.
- The Seychelles combine wonderfully with Mauritius or a stopover in Dubai, ideal for a multi-part Indian Ocean journey.
- With around 115 islands, only about a dozen of them inhabited, the Seychelles rank among the most pristine and sparsely populated island nations in the world.
- Beaches framed by granite boulders, such as Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, rank among the most photographed in the world — a backdrop no other island destination can offer.
- In the Vallée de Mai on Praslin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, grows the Coco de Mer — the palm tree with the largest seed in the world.
- On the remote Aldabra Atoll, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, more than 100,000 giant tortoises live in the wild.
- Private one-island resorts such as North Island offer the utmost discretion — it was also where Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge spent their honeymoon and, later, their tenth wedding anniversary.
- Catamaran sailing trips between the islands, private snorkelling excursions with sea turtles, or a sundowner on your own private beach make every stay unique.

Frequently asked questions
The ideal months are April, May, September, and October. The summer months of June to August are also well suited, though it can be somewhat windier during this time. From December to February, the season is less advisable due to frequent rainfall.
The ideal length of stay depends entirely on your individual preferences. For island hopping, we recommend allowing at least 12 to 14 days on site. For shorter stays of around 7 to 9 days, a relaxed break on one or two islands is perfectly suited.
The Seychelles pair wonderfully with other dream destinations. Dubai makes for an ideal stopover along the way, while Abu Dhabi offers a compelling blend of culture and luxury. Combining the Seychelles with Mauritius, meanwhile, brings together beach, nature, and luxury in equal measure. For a bush-and-beach experience, we recommend Kenya.
