Seychelles- Sitting Pretty Among Top Beach Destinations
by: Andrew Muigai
Almost every description of the Seychelles appears to be a bit over the top.
Is it only the easily impressed who get to visit and write about the Seychelles?
The magic of these islands is however real. Impressions gained of this dream
island paradise will be your refuge when you return to those long working hours.
Just like everybody imagines paradise, the Seychelles islands are far away,
peaceful and stunningly beautiful.
It is the peace and quiet that attracted the writer Somerset Maugham when he
sought to work on a novel without interruption. Most visitors do not however
come here to work. The main draw of the islands has always been the beaches,
snorkeling and diving. The attractions of the natural world particularly the
birdlife, tropical fish and the unique physical environment are a bonus.
After your Seychelles holiday you may want to impress your friends by these
two facts. The islands are the only mid ocean island group in the world with
a granite rock formation. And that Aldabra, a UNESCO designated World Heritage
Site is the largest coral atoll in the world. Some will of course not understand
what you are talking about but the point will be clear that you have traveled
to a place of distinction.
Jacques Costeau whose part of the documentary, The Silent World was shot in
the Seychelles said that he had never been anywhere else with such clarity of
water or diversity of reef life.
The islands are also a good place to get married and to enjoy the tropical
honeymoon of your life. Few other destinations can beat the combination of beauty
and romance. For this and other reasons I cannot go through here, It is my firmly
held position that visitors who get married here go on to a happy married life
and are sooner joined by cute little ones!
The Seychelles is a year round destination. But if you must undertake a specific
activity, then you need to pick the most suitable season. Windsurfing and sailing
are best at the start and end of the trade winds - May and October. Diving enthusiasts
should go for dates between March and May or September to November, although
conditions are excellent year round.
Those keen on the birdlife should note that April marks the beginning of the
breeding season. Bird Island, in particular is overrun by sea birds between
May and September. Due to drier conditions, the period May to September has
best conditions for hiking and walking.
The other factor you may want to consider is cost. The Seychelles is considered
to be a top-drawer destination. In general, the peak falls between mid December-early
January and mid July-end August when most Seychelles hotels and resorts trade
in the currency known as top-dollar. The off-season periods vary with each establishment
much more widely than most other destinations.
The discount in designated off-season periods relative to the peak season falls
between 20-60%. Some of the smaller premises however charge a uniform rate year
round. If you have a flexible schedule, good planning can result in considerable
savings.
