How to Find Cheap Hotels in Seychelles. The Seychelles lie 1,000 miles off the eastern coast of Africa. Beautiful but difficult to access, airfare (unless as part of a package) can be steep. Cheap accommodations are limited, so be sure to book early. Once you're here, relax beneath the shade of a tree on the lovely sand beaches.
Arrive via Air Seychelles from one of several European gateway cities; expect to pay at least $1,200. Flights land in Victoria, the capital city. You can also arrive via Nairobi or Singapore.
Rent a car for traveling around the island; book in advance to secure a desirable model and rate.
Take a cab or bus to avoid rental car fees. Cab fare is rarely over $30 for most destinations.
Hop the islands of the Seychelles via commuter planes (20 seats or less), helicopters or catamarans. Ferries are the cheapest alternative, although they have the least flexible schedules.
Stay on Praslin or La Digue for the lowest rates. Standard rooms on these islands rent for around $125 per night.
Look for rates that include breakfast. Some hotels in Victoria also offer a free day after a set number of days at the standard rate.
Search for a room at the small hostel on Mahe Island. Rates start at $45 per person per night, with a three-night minimum stay.
Schedule a dive or snorkeling trip. Most dives are several days long, but snorkeling day trips are available.
Hone your fishing skills with a fishing trip. Choose fly fishing or try your hand at a deep-sea catch.
Walk through the rainforest of the Vallee de Mai National Park on Praslin Island.
Savor a meal of red snapper and the local beer, seybrew. Fresh squeezed local juices are another way to beat the heat.
