FAMILY HOLIDAYS TO THE SEYCHELLES

Tropical climes

The Seychelles might strike you as the sort of place you’d scratch off the list of potential family holiday locations, but we’re here to dispel that myth. As well as being a superb sunbathing destination, these islands have loads of child-friendly features. The time difference, for one, is only three hours out of sync with the UK, so you won’t have to worry about big adjustments to bedtime routines.

Relaxing days out

Soft, sandy seafronts make The Seychelles’ beaches brilliant for families to spend time on – we’d recommend morning or late afternoon stints, though, to dodge the harshest tropical heat. Lots of the beaches have gently shelving shallows, and calmer waters thanks to offshore reefs. Away from the coastlines, there are craft markets, botanical gardens and rainforest trails to tick off.

Hard-to-beat hotels

The hotels in The Seychelles are usually in pretty secluded spots, so they make sure they cover all the bases themselves. Most come with activity-packed kids’ clubs, family-sized room options and a big list of watersports to try out, plus restaurants that cater for all sorts of tastes.
