Why Visit Seychelles in 2026?

Seychelles remains one of the world’s most desirable island destinations… and for good reason.

A Nature Lover’s Dream

Almost half of Seychelles’ land and surrounding ocean is protected. Visitors can explore national parks, nature reserves, and marine parks where rare wildlife, giant tortoises, and endemic bird species thrive. It’s one of the few places in the world where nature still feels wonderfully untouched.

The waters around Seychelles are alive with colour and movement. Snorkelling and diving reveal vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, rays, turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whale sharks. Even beginners can enjoy marine life straight off the beach in many areas.

A Destination That Keeps Getting Better

Tourism continues to grow steadily, with improved services, eco-conscious initiatives, and diverse accommodation options… from luxury resorts to charming guesthouses. 2026 is shaping up to be an excellent year to visit. Seychelles is known for its peaceful atmosphere, friendly locals, and slow pace of life. It’s a destination where you can truly switch off, reconnect with nature, and enjoy island living at its finest.

Exploring the Islands

Seychelles is made up of 115 islands, each with its own personality and charm. The Inner Islands, including Mahé, Praslin and La Digue… are the most visited and easily accessible by ferry or organised excursions. These islands are perfect for combining beaches, nature trails, culture and history, and dining.

For those seeking something more remote, the Outer Islands offer raw beauty, incredible marine life, and a sense of true isolation. These islands are usually reached by small aircraft or specialised tours and are ideal for adventurous travellers and nature enthusiasts.

Under the Sea

Beneath the surface lies one of Seychelles’ greatest treasures. Snorkelling and scuba diving here feel like stepping into a aquarium… coral gardens, schools of tropical fish, turtles gliding past, and rays moving gracefully through the water.

Popular spots like marine parks and coral-rich lagoons offer unforgettable underwater encounters, whether you’re an experienced diver or trying snorkelling for the first time.

The Ultimate Beach Bum Destination

Seychelles is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world… soft white sand, dramatic granite boulders, and turquoise water.

This is the perfect place to slow down. Spend your days swimming, sunbathing, strolling along the shore, or simply doing nothing at all. Thanks to the islands’ relaxed pace, open beaches, Seychelles offers a very different experience from the busier beach destinations many travellers are used to in Europe. Here, there’s space to breathe, unwind and truly enjoy the feeling of tranquillity.

Tropical Vibes All Year Round

Thanks to its warm tropical climate, Seychelles is a year-round destination. Sunshine-filled (and warm tropical rainy) days make it easy to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, island tours, cultural experiences, and boat excursions… all without rushing.
