Indian Ocean Seychelles
Exclusive Islands
The Seychelles lie in the Indian Ocean, north-east of Madagascar, spread across around 115 islands of granite and coral, only about a dozen of which are inhabited. Granite boulders frame pale beaches such as Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, the Coco de Mer grows in the Vallée de Mai on Praslin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and giant tortoises live in the wild on Aldabra Atoll. Snorkelling is often possible right in front of your own beach, and island hopping by ferry or light aircraft links several islands into one journey. Whether a honeymoon, a family stay in a private villa or peace on a one-island resort, on a tailor-made journey you experience the Seychelles privately and with plenty of space. They combine well with Mauritius, a stopover in Dubai or a safari in South Africa.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
The Seychelles are an attractive destination all year round, with temperatures consistently between a pleasant 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Which months suit you best depends on your wishes. The ideal months to travel are April, May, September and October. During this time, the sea is especially calm and clear, and the weather is mild and balanced. Perfect conditions for snorkeling, diving and relaxed beach days. From May to October, the dry season brings low humidity and little rain. The summer months of June to August are also very well suited, although it can be somewhat windier during this time. From November to April is the rainy season, with occasional heavy showers and higher humidity. In return, nature shows itself in its lushest green, which is especially delightful for nature lovers. From December to February, rainfall is more frequent, which is why these months are less recommended. Regardless of the season, the Seychelles offer a wide range of experiences for honeymooners, luxury travelers and nature lovers from around the world.
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.
The main islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are linked by ferry or light aircraft. On the islands themselves, rental cars and taxis are suitable, and on La Digue, bicycles. Remote islands and one-island resorts are reached by boat, light aircraft or helicopter. We arrange private transfers and coordinate them with your arrival, so you reach your island without waiting.
No visa is required to enter the Seychelles. Travellers arriving by air must, however, apply online in advance for the electronic Travel Authorization, which carries a fee and can be requested up to 30 days before travel. You need a valid passport, a return or onward ticket and confirmed accommodation. We are happy to advise you on current entry requirements when planning your trip.
This is where you dream journey starts.
