Why Seychelles for a Anniversary Escape trip
For a milestone, the Seychelles suits couples who would rather mark the date with an adventure than a ballroom. Charter a yacht to sail between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, stopping at coves reachable only by boat, and visit Curieuse Island to see its giant Aldabra tortoises. Back on land, celebrate with a Creole dinner of grilled fish, octopus curry and fresh tropical fruit, served on a terrace overlooking the sea at sunset.
The Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago known for smooth granite boulders, powder-white coves and some of the most protected forests and reefs in the region. Luxury here ranges from hillside resorts on Mahé and Praslin to private islands with only a few villas. It excels at nature-led seclusion: giant tortoises, rare birds, empty beaches and water clear enough to see turtles from the shore.
When to go: April to May and October to November are the calmest periods, with light winds, warm water and the best visibility for snorkeling and diving. December to March is hotter and wetter, while June to September brings steadier southeast trade winds and choppier seas on exposed coasts.
