Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book at least 3-4 months in advance for July-August and December-January peak season, especially for La Digue and private island resorts which have very limited room inventory

💡

Self-catering apartments and guesthouses on Mahé offer excellent value - Anse Royale and Beau Vallon areas have good budget options near beaches and restaurants

💡

La Digue accommodation sells out fastest during peak season despite being the smallest island - prioritize booking here before Mahé or Praslin

💡

Many mid-range guesthouses don't appear on major booking platforms - check local operators like Seychelles Reservations or email directly for better rates

💡

Budget travelers should note there are no hostels in Seychelles - the cheapest real accommodation starts at $55-70 per night for a basic guesthouse room

💡

All-inclusive resorts are rare in Seychelles - most hotels are room-only or B&B, so factor separate food and activity costs into your total trip budget
