The whole process was extremely easy and responsive. Once I got the results of my PCR test, I logged into the website and filled out a form, uploading my documents along the way. I received my approval confirmation email in just under 30 minutes! I received a QR code by email, which I just saved on my smartphone so that I can use it while traveling.

My stay in Seychelles

I stayed at the Hilton Northolme Resort on Mahe Island. This is probably the smallest Hilton hotel, with a very private and intimate feel. It enjoys a beautiful setting and many of their villas have a private pool. Not just me, but quite a few people escaped COVID to come to Seychelles for work or just to enjoy this beautiful and relaxing setting.

Island hopping on Praslin

I took a day trip with the Twin Otter on Air Seychelles from Mahé to Praslin and back. Air Seychelles operates 10 or 11 round trips per day and flights last around 10 to 15 minutes.

My whole stay in Seychelles was smooth, it was like a paradise where time slows down for you to enjoy and rejuvenate. It was certainly a great escape from the current stress and tension of COVID. The Seychelles are not targeting mass tourism, they are shops focused on privacy and quality.
