Local know-how

Staying safe

  • •Try to avoid any dark lanes, and always be careful not to leave your bag unattended.
  • •There is some sketchy activity along a shady secondary road behind Beau Vallon beach (left from the Boathouse restaurant) on Mahé, but locals mostly seem content to admire their flashy cars and mostly ignore passers-by.
  • •There are tourist police stationed at every beach on Mahé and are easily recognizable by their blue or white golf shirts, with a tourist police badge sewn on.

Staying healthy

  • •Chikungunya virus is a disease spread by mosquitoes, and causes flu-like symptoms.
  • •Tap water is safe to drink in most areas of the Seychelles, but water quality is variable in undeveloped areas.
  • •Limited medical services are available outside the capital city of Victoria.
