Hi there, we’re heading to the Seychelles at the end of March for two weeks.
I was thinking 5 days in Praslin, 3 days in La Digue, and 5 days in Mahé. Does that time split sound good to you?!
For accommodation in Praslin, does the Grande Anse area seem nicer than St Anne for a quiet stay?
And on Mahé, is the south coast or the west coast better?
Do you know where the boats usually leave from for island-hopping excursions?
Last question: I’m a fisherman and I’ll have some gear with me. Do you know where the fishing reserves are? Are there any small harbors where I can hop on a boat with locals?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
I was there in March 2022 for 15 days as well.
5 days in Mahé is perfect.
If I were to go again, I’d spend 3 days in Praslin and 5 days in La Digue—I just loved the "douceur de vivre" there.
It’s small, but there’s loads to do and a really special atmosphere.
When we were there, it was super quiet everywhere, with hardly any tourists.
We stayed on the Grande Anse side in Praslin, and it was really peaceful—almost deserted 😊.
Are you planning to rent a car? If so, I’ve got some great accommodation tips for you, but they’re pretty secluded.
See you soon,
Christelle

Hi Florian.
I’m arriving in the Seychelles by sailboat from the Maldives on May 15. What’s your budget, please? Doesn’t seem cheap.
Happy sailing,
Hugues
