The islands of the Seychelles is renowned for its breathtaking beaches and remarkable beauty. The country’s incredible climate and geography and small population make it an idyllic tourist destination. Until 1977 the Seychelles was a British colony, and the island boasts a unique and long history influenced by European, Asian, Arab and African cultures. Victoria is the largest city and capital of the Seychelles and can be found on Mahe, one of the 115 islands that make up this country. The Seychelles is defined by its cultural and ethnic diversity, and is one of the continent’s most relaxing and interesting places to visit.

The Seychelles is served by the Seychelles International Airport, which is located near Victoria. Air Seychelles has recently provided services from European, Asian and African airports. Within the Seychelles itself, ‘island hopping’ is facilitated by domestic flights, helicopters and ferries. A visitor does not need a visa to enter the Seychelles, which makes it a pretty rare country to allow this. However, for a visitor on a last minute or pre-arranged holiday to Seychelles a passport that is valid, return ticket, sufficient funds and proof of their accommodation is required for clearing immigration at their airport.
A visitor on a last minute holiday to the Seychelles will be able to experience just as much of this country as someone who has booked months in advance. Palm-treed beaches, nature reserves and monuments are plentiful. Popular nature reserves are the Morne Seychelles National Park and Cousin Island Reserve. There are forty-four public beaches that are mostly spread out on Praslin, Mahe and La Digue, three of the main islands of the Seychelles.
The Seychelles experiences a humid and warm climate. However, most places are no more than a couple of kilometers from the ocean and there is usually a cool breeze wafting throughout the year. In the daytime the temperature will average up to 30 deg C and rarely below 20 deg C at nighttime through most times of the year. The best time for visiting the Seychelles will be from the end of May until September. This is the south-east monsoon season when rainfall and temperatures are at their lowest. The wetter and warmer season is from March through mid May in the north-west monsoon season.
For the visitor who is going to the Seychelles on a last minute holiday there is a wide choice of accommodations to opt for, from budget to luxurious. Possibly though, the best budget accommodations will be found on Mahe, one of the main islands. A traveler should however, browse different areas of interest on the Seychelles beforehand before making a decision concerning their last minute holiday package.
The Seychelles offers a dreamlike setting and is unsurprisingly a dream destination for anyone with its sublime and laid back tempo. Giant tortoises and birds can be watched within their natural habitats, while a vast world lies beneath the turquoise waters of the Seychelles. Inland, a visitor will find jungle trails beckoning. A last minute traveller to the Seychelles can choose from different holiday packages such as family packages, singles packages, honeymoon packages and more.
