L'Archipel

Totally in line with its epithet Land of Perpetual Summer, Seychelles enjoys one of the most equitable climates on the planet. The year can be divided into two seasons : that of the north-west trade winds which blow from November through to March and which bring much of the islands life giving rains, and the south-east trades winds which blow from... May to September, bringing with them cooler temperatures and more lively seas, perfect for sailing. The intervening months are normally periods of warmer weather and calm seas ideal for swimming, diving & snorkelling and cruising the ocean.
