It’s time the Seychelles shed its glamorous, grown-ups-only image. We think these tropical islands are a family paradise. You won’t find better beaches, and there’s a wealth of child-friendly adventures, from cycling on La Digue and meeting giant tortoises to exploring the prehistoric Vallée de Mai. And there is accommodation to suit a range of budgets.

Elite Vacations says
Seychelles is the perfect place for a ‘natural’ family holiday. There’s an abundance of spectacular fauna and flora, national parks and nature reserves, turtles, giant tortoises, colourful snorkelling and secluded white sand beaches. What’s more, the Seychelles are situated in the tropical zone of the Indian Ocean, so daytime temperatures are a balmy 25-32°C year round.
There’s a wide choice of accommodation to suit most budgets, from luxury hotels to small hotels, island resorts and self-catering.
For a more traditional family holiday adventure, we recommend the Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort on the stunning island of Silhouette. Just a 30 minute boat ride from the main island Mahé, you will find rainforest-clad mountain slopes, rare fauna, giant tortoises as well as idyllic white sand beaches plus a variety of water sports.
The resort also has a Kid’s Club for children between 4 and 12 years, a choice six restaurants (including a pizzeria) and a fabulous Spa set amidst the giant granite boulders. The spacious accommodation sleeps up to two adults and two children – choose from Garden and Beach Front Villas, the latter just a few steps from the sparkling Indian Ocean.
For the perfect Seychelles holiday, combine a stay at Hilton Labriz with a few days on either of Seychelles’ two largest islands – Mahé or Praslin – or go for a fabulous outer island experience, such as Desroches.
