Why Seychelles is worth the trip

Seychelles is built around Anse Source d'Argent and granite-boulder beaches routinely ranked the best on earth. The country runs on Creole, English, French, prices in SCR, and centres on Victoria with major hubs at Victoria, Beau Vallon, La Digue, Praslin. Flights route through SEZ.

Where to stay and what it costs

Across Seychelles, a night runs roughly US$70–400 at market rates, from simple self-catering apartments at the lower end to lodges and beachfront villas at the top. Those are guide figures for the country, not Cabana quotes.

Cabana does not yet have live listings in Seychelles. The platform is open to hosts here and listing is free with zero commission, so if you have a property, vehicle or tour in Seychelles you can be the first on it. Meanwhile the guidance below is genuine and independent of what Cabana has in stock.

The main demand centres are Victoria, Beau Vallon, La Digue, Praslin.

When to go

The window most travellers want is Apr–May and Oct–Nov (calm seas). Rates and availability tighten inside it, so booking direct matters more — you are competing for the same rooms without a platform markup on top.

What to actually see

Paying for things on the ground

Cards accepted almost everywhere. Cabana settles bookings through the rails people actually use — M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and cards — rather than forcing every transaction through a card processor priced for another continent.

Entry requirements

No visa required — visitor's permit on arrival. Check the current position with the Seychelles immigration authority before you travel; entry rules change more often than guidebooks do.

Market rates in Seychelles run roughly US$70–US$400 per night. Where Cabana has a listing, that price is the host's own rate: Cabana charges no commission and adds no booking fee, so it is also the final amount you pay.
When is the best time to visit Seychelles?
Apr–May and Oct–Nov (calm seas). Outside that window you will find lower rates and fewer people, which suits some trips better than others.
How do I pay for a booking in Seychelles?
Cards accepted almost everywhere. Cabana accepts mobile money and cards, and settles the host directly.
Do I need a visa for Seychelles?
No visa required — visitor's permit on arrival. Requirements vary by nationality, so confirm before booking flights.

Not yet. Cabana is open to hosts and operators in Seychelles, and listing is free with zero commission. Demand centres are Victoria, Beau Vallon, La Digue, Praslin.
Is Cabana cheaper than Airbnb or Booking.com in Seychelles?
On the same property, usually yes. Cabana takes 0% from the host and charges the guest no service fee. Airbnb and Booking.com take a cut from one or both sides, which is priced into what you see.
