The Seychelles resorts are certainly among the most coveted lodging choices in this African island nation. A travel destination known for its high-priced accommodations, the Seychelles does offer a variety of hotels to fit a range of budgets, but if you have room to splurge, then it's truly hard to top a stay at one of the Seychelles resorts.
Since most, if not all of the resorts in Seychelles are found on the water, finding Seychelles beach resorts is an easy task. It's the beaches first that attract most visitors to the Seychelles, and so the best resorts here have taken that into account. The Seychelles beach resorts are known to offer healthy activities lists, and some even have PADI certified dive shops. The various Seychelles island resorts are ideal places to arrange tours and excursions of all kinds, which can be quite convenient.
Aldabra—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to over 150,0000 giant land tortoises—happens to be the second largest atoll in the entire world. Aldabra has been billed as one of the wonders of the world by prominent naturalists due to its pristine coral reef ecosystems and is still protected from full-scale tourism. Nearby St. Anne National Park, a short boat-ride away, is one of the best places in the Indian Ocean to view marine life.

 HOW TO GET THERE |
| |
The international airport of Seychelles offers regular flights going to Denis Island, Bird Island, Praslin Island, Desroches Island and Alphonse Island. If you want to get to the islands faster, there are several helicopters that are for rent. These helicopters can take you anywhere in Seychelles within thirty to forty-five minutes. However, the flight rates of the helicopter are a lot more expensive than the airplane. But with helicopters, you can get an excellent aerial view of the islands in Seychelles and dolphins or whales frolicking at the waters of the Indian Ocean at the same time.
Exploring the waters of Seychelles is also a way to get to the other islands of the archipelago. There are vessels and ferries that would take you to the small harbors of the different islands in Seychelles. Most ferries depart after every 2 hours while some have hourly ferries traveling inter-islands.

CLIMATE |
| |
Seychelles’ enviable climate is always warm and without extremes. In this tropical haven the temperature seldom drops below 24°C or rises above 32°C. All but the remotest southern islands lie comfortably outside the cyclone belt making Seychelles’ a year round destination for sun worshippers and beach lovers.
During the north-west trade winds that visit between the months of October and March, the sea is generally calm and the weather warm and humid, with average winds of 8-12 knots.
In January and February the islands receive their life-giving rains, rejuvenating the rivers and streams and teasing the vibrant foliage into rainbows of colour.
The months between May and September bring drier, cooler weather, and livelier seas - particularly on south-eastern coasts – and winds of 10-20 knots.
