Indian Ocean · Destination guide
The Indian Ocean’s wild side.
Where the Maldives is lagoon-flat perfection, the Seychelles is drama: granite boulders the size of houses tumbling into jade water, jungle ridges behind every bay, and beaches — Anse Source d’Argent, Anse Lazio — that top world lists on rotation. Direct four-hour flights and no visa make it a favourite UAE winter escape.
Unlike one-island destinations, the Seychelles is built for hopping: Mahé’s mountains and capital, Praslin’s primeval Vallée de Mai, and car-free La Digue where bicycles and ox carts set the pace.
Where to go
Mountain drives, Victoria’s creole market and sixty-plus beaches.
Home of the coco de mer and Anse Lazio’s famous curve.
Bicycles, granite coves and the world’s most photographed beach.
One-resort islands for the full castaway fantasy.
Seasons
The calm between trade winds: glassy seas, best visibility, ideal beach weather.
Warmer and greener with brief showers — still fine beach season.
Breezier southeast trades — great for sailing, cooler evenings.
Things to experience
Wade the shallows between the granite giants.
A prehistoric palm forest — the “original Eden”.
Century-old Aldabra giants roaming free on Curieuse.
Three islands in one holiday with an hour’s crossing between.
Octopus curry and breadfruit at family-run tables.
Fish-soup water around a postcard granite outcrop.
Where to stay
Infinity pools hanging over the bays.
Barefoot, bicycle-distance from everything.
North, Frégate, Denis — conservation-led castaway luxury.
