Where to Stay Depending on the Season?

Wind and ocean currents in the Seychelles strongly influence swimming conditions and seaweed presence.

🌬️ May to October

Southeast Trade Winds: Dry and cooler season. Winds blow from the southeast, making these coasts rougher.

✅ West & North Coasts
❌ South & East Coasts

🌊 November to March

Northwest Monsoon: Hotter and more humid. Winds come from the northwest, affecting bays on that side.

✅ South & East Coasts
❌ North & West Coasts

🌤️ April & October

Inter-seasons: The perfect months. Calm seas almost everywhere, ideal for snorkeling.

✅ All coasts are beautiful

🏝️ Choosing the Best Area by Island

📍 Praslin Island
