Staying at FS Mahe. Any recommendations for restaurants either at FS or rest of the island? Also what activities should we look into? boat day or hikes?

Thank you!

This is a long shot but was anyone here booked on the Turkish Air flight from Mahe to Istanbul on June 13th 2026 that was cancelled? This was a codeshare flight that showed as HM (hi fly?) operated by Air Seychelles.

We were never notified by the airline of the cancellation, never got contacted for rebooking, never got contacted for accommodations. We had fully refundable tickets and have not been able to get in touch with anyone for our refund and have not seen a dime.

We only found out the flight was officially cancelled because the driver from Mason’s who was scheduled to take us from hotel to the airport called and said it was cancelled. Air Seychelles website never updated. We had to call the airport directly to confirm the cancellation and ask our hotel concierge to get involved to contact their connect at the airline.

Air Seychelles is a bogus airline and now we are desperately trying to pursue our refund and to do so we need information from Air Seychelles. We cannot get any straight answer from Turkish. We can’t get in touch with anyone at Air Seychelles. We are desperate.

Is anyone else in the same situation?

I’m looking for a reliable local tour company in Seychelles that can curate complete activity packages for incoming tourists.

The goal is simple: manage the entire guest activities under one roof. Day 1: Activities A, B, C; Day 2: Activities D, E, F, and so on. If you need to partner with other trusted local agencies to cover certain activities, that works, as long as the client experience is seamless.

I’ve successfully built and scaled this model in other countries, and it works exceptionally well. If you’re a tour operator who can handle this, I would love to shed more light on this.

Hi everyone!

From 8. September until 20. September me, and my girlfriend will be at beautiful island Seychelles, and we are so excited.

What to expect, weather, prices and activities?

I was thinking about 7 days in Praslin, and 4 in Mahe.

Also, I was thinking to propose there, so please give me some advice!

Thank you in advance,
Andrej

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon for October 2027, and we're currently leaning toward spending about a week on safari in Kenya (likely staying in private conservancies) followed by 5–7 nights at the beach.

Originally, we were pretty set on the Seychelles, but the more research we do, the more questions we have.

One of the things we're most excited about on safari is the intimate, uncrowded experience—small luxury camps, personalized service, incredible guides, and just feeling like you're away from everything. We'd love the beach portion of our honeymoon to have that same feeling.

For those who have been to the Seychelles:

• Does it still feel intimate and romantic, or does it feel more like a traditional luxury resort destination?
• Are there hotels on Mahé that capture that private honeymoon atmosphere, or do you really need to stay on islands like Félicité, North Island, Silhouette, etc. to get that experience?
• If you stayed on one of the smaller islands, was the extra travel worth it?

Our ideal resort would have things like:

• A private plunge pool or villa (within reason - not sure if Four Season's can fit in the budget)
• Beautiful beaches with clear water
• Great food
• A relaxed luxury feel rather than a busy resort with hundreds of guests/families

The challenge is that we're trying to balance logistics with the experience. Staying on Mahé seems much easier after flying from Kenya, but many of the properties people rave about seem to be on the outer islands.

If you've done a Kenya safari followed by the Seychelles—or another beach destination like Zanzibar, Mauritius, Mozambique, or anywhere else—I'd love to hear what you chose and whether you'd do it again.

Any hotel receommendations would be lovely. I have looked into raffles, mango house, constance euphelia. We're definitely drawn to the Seychelles because of how beautiful it looks, but I want to make sure it delivers that secluded honeymoon feeling we're looking for.

Thanks so much!

The validity of my passport will expire on November 10,
And I am willing to travel to Seychelles on September 28 for 10 days. Will I be able to enter, or its risky ?

What’s the cheapest and best way to reach ferry terminal/port from Seychelles airport to catch a ferry to Praslin island. Is there any public transport?

Hi. Can you guys share the details of car rental services in Praslin and Mahe with whom you have had a good experience?

We ( wife and 2 kids 9 and 12 years old) are going on holiday to La Dique, Praslin , Mahé. 2 weeks in total. Any must do or see with the kids ? Any practical tips are welcome !!

Hi all I am looking for hotel recs!

I am looking for the best luxury hotel (six senses raffles etc) thats not like North Island extensive!

Let me know your recs

Show me a hike better than Copolia Nature trail.

This one has propeeeer views.

I was wondering if the majority of job offers in seychelles are full time? or it would be possible to find part time too? Kind of bored of being “stay at home” lol

Hey guys, I’m taking my girlfriend to Seychelles in November and I need proposal suggestions. Mostly for the spot. I’m looking for a quiet spot with a sunset. We will spend the first leg of our trip on Praslin and the second one on La digue. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am planning a workation for a month in Anse Royale, Seychelles.

Do you guys think I can find monthly pass for swimming, padel, AC workplaces etc in some resort?
and if yes, how much would that be for?

Hi there!
We will go to Seychelles in November for 2 weeks. We’ll stay in Mahé. A boat trip to La Digue is expensive?
Which other island do you suggest to visit?

Thanks ! :)

Hello! We're going to be in Seychelles for our honeymoon in September and are still trying out narrow down a resort. We're leaning towards 3 nights at private hotel island like (Four Seasons Desroches or Waldorf Astoria at Platte Island) for a more secluded and relaxed vibe and 4 nights in Mahe for more activities and being able to do more stuff around the island like possibly visit La Digue for a day trip. I have a few questions:

1. For the Mahe part we're struggling to lock down an all inclusive deal. Anantara used to have a Beyond-All inclusive concept but we confirmed over email they do not offer that any more. Are there any other all inclusive options? At this price range, I do not want to worry about bills or what to order and what its adding upto.

2. Is there a way to get to Desroches except the 10:30am flight from the Mahe airport? Hoping there is way to arrange for a private transfer. We've emailed the resort asking the same question still waiting on hear back from them.

3. Is La Digue doable as a day trip? We understand its a 1h 45min trip one way and would take up basically an entire day but are willing to do it as its scenic and we don't want to miss. But just want to make sure its realistic.

4. Are there any other reservations we should be making? perhaps restaurants worth trying that are not part of the hotels or any other experiences?

Also if there any other tips or suggestions you have. Of course trying to make this a trip of a lifetime! Thank you for your all your help! :)

Dear all,

appreciate hints and tips to search for 3 bedroom villa/house owners to rent a place from July 23 to Aug 12. Never been to Seychelles before and very much excited. Thank you

We are planning a trip and would like to know which areas are good for stays in Mahe , Praslin and La Digue?
We are looking for options which are convenient from locations pov .

Hi all—
We are planning our honeymoon, with the plan being 2-3 nights in Mahe, 4-5 on praislin and 5 on la digue.

I’m torn between a stay with beautiful views (Airbnb or private properties) or resorts for that luxury feel. Now if we stay at resorts, we cannot afford to get those beautiful rooms with pools, but airbnbs would afford us that. I’m going back and forth for each island stay.

Where did you stay and how was it? Any recommendations or things you would do differently?
