The Seychelles are among the most beautiful islands on earth — sculpted granite boulders, talcum-soft sand and impossibly clear water, scattered across the Indian Ocean and protected by some of the world’s strictest conservation.
A favorite for honeymoons and keen beach lovers, they pair perfectly with an East Africa safari for a great bush-and-beach finish.

Know before you go
The practical details we handle for you — flights, entry, health and money — summarized here so nothing surprises you. Requirements can change, so we confirm everything when you book.
Getting there from the USA
Reach Mahé via Doha, Dubai or Istanbul — around 20 hours from the East Coast. Praslin and La Digue are a 15-minute hop or a scenic ferry from there.
Visas & entry
No visa needed — US citizens get a visitor's permit on arrival. You'll just need the digital Travel Authorization (about €10), completed online before departure.
Health
The Seychelles are malaria-free — no prophylaxis needed, which is one reason they're a favorite honeymoon finish after a safari.
Money & tipping
Resorts bill in euros or dollars and everything goes on the room. Tipping is appreciated but modest — service is often included.
Best time to visit
Calmest seas and best visibility for diving and snorkeling.
Cooler, drier and breezier — excellent for sailing.

Seychelles beach extensions from $700 per person per night.
Fly into Mahé (SEZ) via Nairobi, Dubai or Addis Ababa. US travelers need only a Travel Authorisation and proof of accommodation — no visa.
