Seychelles is expensive. Budget USD 125–200 per person per day minimum; luxury resorts are USD 500–3,000/night. Self-catering guesthouses exist from USD 80–120/night.
Return ticket strictly required at Seychelles immigration.
Insider Tips
La Digue Island's Anse Source d'Argent is one of the world's most photographed beaches — massive granite boulders, powdery white sand, turquoise water. Reach La Digue by ferry from Mahé (via Praslin) — a beautiful journey. Hire a bicycle on the island; no cars allowed for tourists.
Praslin Island's Vallée de Mai (UNESCO) is magical — ancient Coco de Mer palms, black parrots, and the surreal giant coconut. Only 2–3 hours but deeply impressive.
Budget tip: eat at local roulottes (food trucks) in Mahé's Victoria market for fresh Creole fish dishes at GHS 80–120. Avoids expensive resort restaurant prices. Market also sells fresh tropical fruit.

Seychelles needs no visa but does need a Travel Authorisation
Seychelles requires no visa from any nationality, which is why this route reads as visa-free. Every visitor must still hold a Travel Authorisation obtained online before departure — mandatory since April 2024, checked by airlines at boarding. Being visa-free is not the same as having nothing to arrange.
