Privacy policySeychelles is almost tailor-made for a Champagne escape, with white-sand beaches, granite boulders, turquoise water and a strong luxury resort culture. Champagne is naturally associated with celebrations and special occasions here, but it can just as easily become part of a relaxed island day – a bottle with fresh seafood, a sunset drink or a long lunch overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Seychellois cuisine reflects the islands’ African, French, Indian and Asian influences. Grilled fish, octopus curry, coconut-based dishes, seafood, satini and ladob are among the local specialities worth trying. Fresh herbs, chilli, ginger, garlic and tropical fruit bring plenty of flavour, while coconut and spices add richness. Champagne is particularly well suited to seafood, grilled fish, fried appetisers and dishes with citrus or chilli.
Mahé is the main island and home to the capital, Victoria, as well as much of the country’s population and hospitality infrastructure. Explore the colourful Victoria Market, walk through the capital’s small streets and visit the Morne Seychellois National Park for mountain and rainforest scenery. Praslin is known for its beautiful beaches and the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, while La Digue has a slower pace and is famous for its granite formations, bicycles and spectacular coastline.
The ocean is at the heart of the Seychelles experience. Snorkelling, diving, sailing and island-hopping reveal coral reefs and marine life, while the beaches themselves are reason enough to slow down. Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue is one of the country’s most recognisable landscapes, with enormous granite boulders framing the turquoise water.
For Champagne lovers, Seychelles is less about an urban Champagne scene and more about the setting. A chilled bottle shared beside the Indian Ocean, paired with fresh seafood and tropical flavours, makes Champagne feel completely at home.

Add a spotSeychelles is a year-round destination, with warm temperatures throughout the year. April to May and October to November are often particularly pleasant periods for swimming, snorkelling and diving, while the trade winds influence conditions at other times of the year. Weather can vary between islands and coastlines.
Spend time on at least two islands if your itinerary allows. Explore Mahé and Victoria, visit Vallée de Mai on Praslin and cycle around La Digue. Make time for snorkelling or diving, and don’t miss a sunset by the water with fresh seafood and, naturally, Champagne.
Try grilled fish, octopus curry, coconut-based seafood dishes, satini and ladob. Fresh tropical fruit and locally grown ingredients are also an important part of island cuisine. Champagne is especially enjoyable with seafood, grilled fish, citrus and lighter coconut-based dishes.
Mahé is the best introduction to Seychelles, with mountains, beaches, rainforest and Victoria. Praslin is ideal for nature and beautiful beaches, while La Digue offers a slower island experience and some of the Seychelles’ most iconic coastal scenery.
Champagne is most accessible in luxury resorts, upscale hotels, fine-dining restaurants and beachfront hospitality venues. Mahé and the major resort islands have the broadest selection, while smaller islands tend to focus more on intimate resort experiences.
Try fresh coconut water, tropical fruit juices and locally produced rum. Takama is a local spirit worth discovering, while tea grown on Mahé offers another taste of the islands. Fresh fruit and coconut-based drinks are particularly refreshing in the tropical climate.
The setting is the main attraction. Granite boulders, turquoise water, tropical beaches and fresh seafood create an almost perfect backdrop for Champagne. It is a destination where the wine can become part of the scenery and the rhythm of island life rather than simply something enjoyed at dinner.
