Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
Koh Samui is Thailand’s second largest island, offering a perfect blend of tropical serenity and vibrant culture, making it ideal for your sweet escape. You’ll find palm-fringed, white-sand beaches such as Chaweng Beach, ideal for relaxation and swimming in the clear, turquoise waters.
Feel the calm ambience as you explore the iconic 12-metre-tall Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai) temple, featuring panoramic views over the surrounding coastline. You can easily take a boat trip to the stunning Ang Thong National Marine Park. This archipelago of 42 islands is perfect for kayaking and snorkelling among pristine waters and towering limestone cliffs.
Immerse yourself in the local atmosphere by exploring Fisherman’s Village in Bophut. It’s a charming spot for browsing boutiques and sampling authentic Thai street food at the night market. To discover the island’s lush interior, visit the majestic Na Muang Waterfalls, where you can hike through the rainforest to see the impressive cascading tiers.
