The Seychelles Islands have responded well to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of Covid, the Seychelles so far have recorded exceptionally low numbers of cases with thankfully zero deaths. A large number of infections in the current list of those affected have been identified as originating from a large Spanish contingent of sailors working on a fishing boat, that has been safely quarantined in outlying Seychelles waters.

Being a small island with high holiday demand due to its popularity as a paradise island, with breath-taking views and beaches, the Seychelles economy highly relies on the tourism industry for the economy and thousands of local tourist related employment.

By choosing the Seychelles as your next holiday destination, you will have your dream holiday of a lifetime, and at the same time, your custom will also help our  beautiful country to recover in these difficult times.

Why is Seychelles the best destination for your next holiday?

Safety : The Seychelles government is therefore taking all necessary precautions against this disease to make your stay as pleasant, and as Covid-19 free as possible. They are on the way to achieving this goal by having only 44 active cases to date, making this destination a safe choice for you and your family.

No mass tourism  : With no large amount of tourists currently in the country, you will have the chance to experience our dream beaches, our diverse ecologically protected marine reserves, our diverse tropical fauna and flora, our indigenous wildlife, our crystal clear waters and the Seychellois people’s warmth and friendliness as never before. For example,  you could choose a relaxing trip to Anse Lazio on Praslin Island, and to Anse Source d’Argent beach on the neighbouring Island of La Digue which are two of the most photographed beaches in the world ! and there’s loads more to do and explore.

You can book your Flights, Accommodation and Tours/Excursions through Jadore Seychelles with the comfort of knowing that we have your Health & Safety at the forefront of our minds, and you will have the privacy you desire through our personalised tailor-made service.

Travel : You can choose to your excursions personally through Jadore Seychelles during your booking, but in the event that you wish to travel around on your own, you could choose to  hire a car through one of our Car Hire partners (who will also have the most stringent safety precautions for your safety), or by local bus that regularly criss-cross over the whole of Mahe and Praslin islands.

Everyone will be required to wear a face mask when in close vicinity of the public and would need to have other basic preventative requirements at hand such as hand sanitisers etc while travelling around, so as to not just protect yourself but also others around you. This is in line with safety Covid-19 health precautions from your originating country.

Our staff are all fully trained to follow government health guidelines and are fully aware of their responsibilities to keep you and themselves fully protected.
