Qué debes empacar
Seychelles’ climate is always warm and humid
Plenty of swimwear and light & comfortable clothing preferably made from natural fibres. Flip flops & sandals and also sport shoes if you are planning to go hiking.
Some hotels & resorts require men to wear long trousers for dinner so it's a good idea to pack a pair of cotton or linen slacks.
On the Seychelles the power plugs and sockets are of type G (UK type) and the standard voltage is 240 V. So make sure you take at least one adapter with you.
And don't forget about suntan lotion and insect repellents. You don't have to worry about packing beach towels, we've got you covered ;)
