Do Indians need a visa for Seychelles?

No. Indian citizens do not need a visa for Seychelles. A free Visitor’s Permit is issued on arrival, valid for up to 30 days. You need a valid passport, return ticket, confirmed accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds.

How far is Seychelles from India?

The flight from Mumbai to Mahé (Seychelles International Airport) takes approximately 4.5 hours. Air Seychelles and Air India operate flights via Abu Dhabi or direct. From Delhi and Bangalore, flight time is around 6–8 hours with a connection.

Is Seychelles expensive for Indian tourists?

Seychelles is one of the more premium international destinations, but group package pricing significantly reduces costs. Budget approximately ₹1,00,000–1,50,000 per person for a 7-night group tour with accommodation, flights, and activities included.

What is the best island to stay on in Seychelles?

For first-time visitors on a group tour, Mahé is the recommended base (closest to the airport, most facilities). Adding a 2-night stay on Praslin and a day trip to La Digue gives you the best overall Seychelles experience in 7–9 days.

Seychelles is widely considered the world’s best honeymoon destination. Intimate luxury resorts, private beaches, candlelit dinners, couples’ spa treatments, and sunsets over the Indian Ocean make it the ultimate romantic escape for Indian honeymooners.

Seychelles is the definition of untouched paradise. An archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, it has remained one of the world’s least commercialised luxury destinations, with strict conservation laws protecting its extraordinary biodiversity. For discerning Indian travellers seeking raw natural beauty, complete seclusion, and world-class luxury in a single destination, Seychelles is unrivalled.

The Big Three Islands: Mahé, Praslin & La Digue

Most Seychelles group tours cover the three main islands. Mahé is the largest, home to the capital Victoria and the lush Morne Seychellois National Park. Praslin features the UNESCO Vallee de Mai — a prehistoric palm forest where the legendary Coco de Mer (the world’s largest seed) grows. La Digue is a tiny, car-free island famous for Anse Source d’Argent — consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful beaches, framed by weathered granite boulders.

Wildlife and Nature Unlike Anywhere Else

Seychelles is a nature lover’s Eden. Giant Aldabra tortoises roam freely on several islands — you can walk among them, touch them, and watch them at close range. The waters around Seychelles are home to whale sharks, green and hawksbill turtles, and exceptional coral reefs. Bird Island is home to millions of sooty terns. Virtually every island offers a unique and pristine natural experience.

Beaches That Are Truly World-Class

Seychelles beaches are in a class of their own — vast stretches of pristine white sand, polished pink granite boulders, swaying Casuarina and palm trees, and glass-clear turquoise waters. Beau Vallon on Mahé, Anse Lazio on Praslin (often ranked the world’s best beach), and Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue are the three beaches that alone make the journey worthwhile.

Planning a Seychelles Group Tour from India

Seychelles is a premium destination, but TravelBuddy’s group packages make it significantly more accessible. The best time to visit is during the calm inter-monsoon seasons of April–May and October–November, when the sea is glassy calm. Group packages typically cover 7–9 nights across the three main islands, with inter-island ferry or domestic flight transfers, 4–5 star accommodation, and guided excursions.
