Where to Stay in the Seychelles – Beaches, Amenities, & More

When it comes to deciding where to stay in the Seychelles, you have two real questions to answer.

15 Seychelles Beaches to Explore While in Paradise

The Seychelles beaches are what dreams are made of- with white sand, crystal clear water, beautiful rock formations, and picturesque palm trees.

While this may seem like a wonderful thing, if you’re actually vacationing there, it can be a bit overwhelming to try to prioritize which beaches you want to visit.

When you visit the Seychelles, odds are good your first thought is not about driving logistics- it’s about the famous Seychelles beaches!

But when you come down to reality, you quickly realize that if you want to hit all of the beaches, exploring the islands via some sort of transportation will be required.

On Mahe and Praslin, one popular way of getting around is by renting a car. In this one we are going to share some tips and advice from our experience driving around these two islands.

Unlike other posts in this series, where we are able to capture regional driving tips and advice in one spot, in this one we have to break it up as driving on Mahe and Praslin are two slightly different experiences.
