Seychelles
Why Go?
Close your eyes. And just imagine. You're lazing on a talcum-powder beach lapped by to-
paz waters and backed by lush hills and big glacis boulders. Brochure material? No, just
routine in the Seychelles. With such a dreamlike setting, the Seychelles is unsurprisingly a
choice place for newlyweds. But for those looking for more than a suntan or romance, this
archipelago offers a number of high-energy distractions. There are jungle and coastal
walks, boat excursions, and diving and snorkelling to keep you buzzing. Ecotourism is big
- there are marine parks and natural reserves filled with endemic species that are easy to
approach.
The Seychelles is more affordable than you think. On top of ultra-luxurious options, the
country has plenty of self-catering facilities and family-run guesthouses that offer local col-
our. So if you are suffering from visions of tropical paradise, here is your medicine.
When to Go
» From December to March, the trade winds bring warmer, wetter air streams from the
northwest. From June to September the southeast trades usher in cooler, drier weather but
the winds whip up the waves and you'll want to find protected beaches.
» The turnaround periods (April to May and October to November), which are normally
calm and windless, are ideal.
» The rainfall varies considerably from island to island and from year to year. Mahé and
Silhouette, the most mountainous islands, get the highest rainfall.
» The Seychelles lies outside the cyclone zone.
» Temperatures range between 24°C and 32°C throughout the year.
» Accommodation can be hard to find during the peak seasons from December to January
and July to August.
