Why take the family to Seychelles?

Some of the most photographed beaches on earth, with quiet islands to hop between.

Family-friendly ideas

  • A family-friendly hotel on a calm beach with kids' activities
  • Giant tortoises at Curieuse and shallow snorkelling
  • Glass-bottom boat trips at Sainte Anne Marine Park
  • Island-hopping day by ferry to Praslin or La Digue

Where to stay with children

  • Mahé. The main island, with the airport, Victoria and a mix of beaches and hotels. Best for a first visit.
  • Praslin. Calmer than Mahé, with Anse Lazio and the Vallée de Mai. Best for beaches and nature.
  • La Digue. Bicycles instead of cars, and the famous Anse Source d'Argent. Best for a relaxed, picture-perfect stay.
  • Private-island resorts. Exclusive resorts on small islands for honeymoons and luxury stays.

When to go with kids

April to May and October to November are usually the best months: calm seas, light winds and good visibility for snorkelling. The south-east trade winds from May to September bring cooler, breezier weather and drier days.

Tips for families

  • Choose a hotel with family rooms and a kids' club if you want some downtime
  • Plan one main activity a day, with rest time built in
  • Ask us about child prices and flight baggage for your children's ages
  • Children need their own passports, and we confirm entry rules for the whole family
