Seychelles Holidays from the UK
Plan your Seychelles holiday from the UK: flights, hotel, transfers and visa guidance, planned by a team that knows the destination.
Seychelles holidays from the UK
Some of the most photographed beaches on earth, with quiet islands to hop between. If you are travelling from the UK, we plan the whole trip, including the right flights, a hotel that suits your style and the transfers and tours that make the holiday easy.
Getting to Seychelles from the UK
Seasonal direct flights have operated from London, otherwise via the Gulf. We compare options for your dates and look at total travel time, not just price.
Time difference
Seychelles is about 3 to 4 hours ahead of London, depending on daylight saving, so most travellers adjust quickly.
How long to stay
For travellers from the UK, a Seychelles holiday is usually 7 to 10 nights. We recommend 5–8 nights on the ground.
Best time to go
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.
Entry requirements
Seychelles does not require a visa for most visitors, but you need to complete an online Travel Authorisation before you travel, and show proof of accommodation and onward travel. Please check the current rules for your passport.

- Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue. Famous granite boulders and shallow turquoise water. Cycle there from La Digue's harbour.
