Best Month to Visit Mahé

Now, if you're looking for the golden ticket when it comes to weather perfection on Mahé, I'd swiftly point you in the direction of May. May sounds majestic, right? Well, it is in Mahé! The temperatures are comfortably warm, the breezes are just cool enough, and rainfall is relatively infrequent. Combine this with the fact that May marks the beginning of the island's holiday season and you've got yourself a paradise that's brimming with vibrant festivities and cultural delights.

Now, we all love a good bargain, don't we? If your search is honing in on value, plan your trip between November and March. This is generally the low season in Mahé, and although you might have to share your sunhat with a few raindrops, it's a small trade-off for the lighter impact on your wallet. You'll find affordable accommodation, cheaper flights, and the beaches will feel like your own private paradise. Think of it as the quiet charm of Seychelles, on a budget!

Worst Time of Year to Visit Mahé

“But when should I not pack my flip-flops and sunglasses?” I hear you ask. Well, if there were a time to avoid, it would be the months of December and January. These are the archipelago's rainiest months. While a few rain showers can be quite dramatic and refreshing, torrential downpours might put a bit of a damper on your beach plans. And let's be honest here, no one loves a soggy sundowner.

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
