Weather In Seychelles<\/h2>\n

Seychelles being a tropical country is hot and humid. Mornings and evenings are pleasant though. The months between April to November is a good time to visit Seychelles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Experiences Included In Our 8 Days Itinerary For Seychelles<\/h2>\n

We lived in Ajmer and therefore we drove to Jaipur, from where we boarded our flight to Mumbai. Our flight from Mumbai to Seychelles<\/strong> was the Emirates and it was a comfortable flight to Mahe. The moment we stepped into Mahe, we got into our vacation vibes. Here is all that we cherished on our honeymoon in Seychelles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Exploring The Island<\/h3>\n

One of the best parts of our trip was that we got to explore a lot of beaches. On one of the days, we rented a self-drive car and visited the Cote D\u2019or and Anse Lazio beach. The mesmerizing views of the island were breathtaking and we really loved every part of this drive. One of the most popular beaches of the island, it is lined with a number of shops, restaurants and other adventure activities. We went for diving in the waters of the sea.<\/p>\n

2. Boat And Bike Tour<\/h3>\n

Next day, we took a boat and bike tour to La Digue Island that was included in our 8 days itinerary for Seychelles<\/strong>. When we arrived at the island jetty, we met our guide who gave us our bicycle to explore the island at our own pace. On our island tour, we visited the L \u2019union estate and the Anse Sourcebeach D\u2019argent. Here we decided to take a swim and relax on the warm sand. We also stopped at a local church, took a lot of pictures and set exploring again. The refurbished colonial plantation house was yet another commendable place to visit on the island. In the evening and spotted some of the most beautiful and rare birds. The setting sun, cool breeze and melody of the birds chirping exactly matched our desire of a dream honeymoon.<\/p>\n

This nature\u2019s trail was yet another memorable experience. The guided nature trail began from Anse Lazio. On our way we got to discover the endemic flora and fauna of Seychelles. We loved the panoramic view of Anse from the hilltop. The tour was approximately an hour long. After the walk, we stopped at the Bonbon Plume Restaurant where we enjoyed delicious Creole lunch. Anse lazio is known for it famous snorkeling site and it was a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n

4. City Tour<\/h3>\n

Here we discovered coco de Mer, giant land tortoises and fruit bats. We also went to the souvenir kiosks at the Esplanade and we also went to see the National Library. Later, we proceeded to Eden Island where we came across sophisticated mansions and apartments with elegant Marina and malls, casinos.

On one of the amazing days of our trip, we got a chance to explore the southern part of the island including Anse Intendance, Anse Soleil, local rum Distillery and Victoria City market. It was a beautiful experience to come across the history and culture of the city and enjoy a wonderful vacation here.<\/p>\n

Where To Stay In Seychelles<\/h2>\n

On our 8 days itinerary for Seychelles, we stayed for a total of 7 nights. 4 nights in Praslin and 3 nights in Mahe. In Praslin we stayed in Terrasse Sur Lazio, an Airbnb property that is on the top of Mont Plaisir that offers out of the world view of Anse Lazio. It turned out to be our best time in Seychelles. In Mahe, we stayed at Le Meridian Fisherman\u2019s Cove in an Ocean view deluxe room. The property is situated on Beau Vallon Beach<\/strong>. Offers great services and is in the heart of the city with a lot of places accessible on foot. The room is literally 15 meters from the ocean and offers amazing views. Although well maintained, it is one of the oldest 5-star properties there and is starting to show its age. (Be sure to ask for Ricky if you stay there. He is a porter cum water sports instructor cum waiter and is hospitable and helpful)<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t much to shop. There are some souvenir shops in Victoria, Mahe that offer better prices than other places.<\/p>\n

Food<\/h3>\n

Seafood in Seychelles is heavenly, but us, being vegetarians, didn\u2019t have many options. We carried a lot of snacks with us. Meal for 2 in Seychelles usually costs around 30-40 Euros and there are many restaurants in Seychelles<\/strong> to choose from.<\/p>\n

Praslin:<\/strong> We got our food cooked by out caretaker in the Airbnb villa.
Ristorante Da Luca Gelateria near Cote D\u2019Or beach: The place a very few places that offer vegetarian food in Seychelles but offers decent pizza.<\/p>\n

BonBon Plume at Anse Lazio beach:<\/strong> again, very few vegetarian options. Had fries and shakes there.<\/p>\n

La Digue:<\/strong> Enjoyed our lunch at Le Repaire. This probably was the best food we had on our trip. It is a must visit. The Italian Chef there makes out of the world wood fired pizzas and is an interesting person to talk to.<\/p>\n

Mahe:<\/strong> Since we stayed close to Beau Vallon beach, we had ample options to eat here.
Copper Pot: 10 mins walk from our resort; the place is run by a south Indian family and offers dosas and idlis at unbelievable prices. Not to be missed.<\/p>\n

Mahek:<\/strong> located right on the Beau Vallon beach in Coral Strand resort, it is an Indian restaurant.
Baobab Pizzeria: again, right on Beau Vallon beach, the place serves nice pizzas. It is always crowded so expect a 30-40 mins waiting time during lunch hour. But it is worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Maharajas:<\/strong> A unique and classy Indian dining experience in Eden Island right by the sea where you can feed fishes with the leftovers as well. A must visit.<\/p>\n

Chatterbox caf\u00e9:<\/strong> A caf\u00e9 in Eden Plaza, Eden Island. Offers a wide range of quick bite options.<\/p>\n
