Insider Tips
Book at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season stays in Seychelles.
Consider staying slightly outside the main tourist zone for better value — many of Seychelles's best hotels are in residential neighborhoods.
Always check the hotel's cancellation policy before booking, especially during high season.
Ask the front desk for local restaurant recommendations — hotel concierges in Seychelles often have excellent taste.
If you're visiting for the first time, a central location is worth the premium — you'll save on transport and have more time to explore.
