Beautiful ‘tropical paradise’ that’s 31C in May is a direct flight from UK | Travel News | Travel

Seychelles, with its striking blue Indian Ocean backdrop and long stretches of powder-soft beaches, is a hard-to-beat beach destination.

The island nation in Africa is not just popular for its postcard-perfect beaches, but it also boasts an array of award-winning hotels and resorts, as well as super-stylish villas. 

It’s no wonder then that a honeymoon in the Seychelles is a top pick for those seeking a romantic getaway.

But despite being a “tropical paradise” completely dissimilar to life in the UK, you can fly to Seychelles directly from major airports such as Manchester and London. 

In May, the average temperature on the largest island in the Seychelles, Mahe, is 28°C with highs of 31°C in the peak of the day. At night, temperatures dip to an average low of 25°C. 

Private islands in the Seychelles, such as the luxurious Denis Island, offer near-exclusive access to paradise.

Seychelles is a true earthly paradise, boasting some of Africa’s most stunning beaches.

The Seychellois coastline, with its soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, provides an idyllic setting.

From the remote and secluded beaches of La Digue to the world-renowned Anse Lazio, every beach in the Seychelles is a sight to behold.

These beaches offer not just breathtaking beauty but also a variety of activities such as snorkelling, surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.

The Aldabra Atoll, home to over 1,000 species of fish and 700 species of coral, is one of the most coveted diving spots worldwide.

And with over 100 species of birds and a variety of marine life, the Seychelles is a nature lover’s dream. 

Flights to Seychelles, which are around 10 hours from the UK, can be booked for less than £600 on certain dates in May, according to Skyscanner.
