Trade-offs and what to know
The east coast road runs close to the shore, and the reef-protected shallows suit paddling more than long swims at low tide. Self-catering means shopping for groceries, which in Seychelles can be limited outside the larger villages. Sea and weather conditions vary with the south-east and north-west monsoons, so ask the property what to expect on your dates.
Getting there and getting around
International flights arrive at Seychelles International Airport on the east coast of Mahé. Mahé has a bus network, but a hire car or taxis are the easier way to reach beaches and viewpoints.
