Seychelles Winter Sun Holidays

Renowned as an idyllic honeymoon destination, the Seychelles can also offer sun-seekers a slice of paradise come the winter months. The natural beauty of this necklace of 115 islands has earned it the well-deserved moniker of ‘the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’, and with year-round sunshine, the unspoiled archipelago promises castaway luxury which is worlds away from a chilly winter in the UK. Dive and snorkel through the crystal blue waters, home to an incredible array of sea life, or hike through dense emerald jungle before reclining on a secluded stretch of golden sand. Swap jerseys for sundresses, boots for flip-flops, and slip into a mindset of unmitigated relaxation on Seychelles winter sun holidays.

Seychelles Winter Sun: Escape the Cold and Enjoy the Tropics

Recharge and renew on a magnificent holiday to experience the warmth of the Seychelles’ Winter Sun. This group of 115 islands offers some of the most breathtakingly spectacular views in the Indian Ocean. From stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters to lush jungles and impressive wildlife, the tropical weather is a complete paradise all year long, and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy (or not, if total R&R is what you’re after).

With over 60 beaches to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the perfect spot to relax and soak up some rays. Anse Lazio on Praslin is widely considered to be one of the best beaches in the world, while Beau Vallon on Mahé is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking while trying to spot some wildlife.

The Seychelles are home to some of the oldest rainforests in the world, so if you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger, a trip into the trees is a must. Take a hike through Morne Seychellois National Park, where you’ll find waterfalls, birds and rare plants. Explore the jungle on a safari in Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve to see the famous coco de mer palm trees.

The Seychelles are a haven for wildlife lovers. Take a boat trip to Cousin Island where you could see hawksbill turtles and Aldabra giant tortoises or, depending on the time of year, you may be able to snorkel with whale sharks at Baie Ternay Marine National Park. For another truly extraordinary wildlife encounter, head to Aride Island Reserve to see millions of breeding seabirds.

With so much to see and do, a Seychelles winter sun holiday is the perfect chance to escape the cold in in style.
