Seychelles in July? Yes, please! While everyone else is stuck in the monsoon mess, you could be sinking your toes into Seychelles’ soft sandy beaches.
July is one of the best months to visit this island paradise. The rains take a break, giving you endless sunny days on the beach. And with fewer crowds and cheaper flights, you get to enjoy Seychelles on a budget!
Soaking up the sunny skies in July weather
Temperatures in July hover around 24°C at night and climb to 28°C during the day. That’s warm and balmy – perfect for lazy days on the beach. Expect mostly clear blue skies too. July is one of the driest months, so you can go ahead and plan boat trips and hikes without worrying about sudden downpours. The winds pick up pace, transforming Seychelles into a water sports hub. Time to catch the waves surfing and sailing!
Exploring Seychelles’ spectacular beaches in July
You’re probably dreaming of powdery white sands and calm turquoise waters. Well, Seychelles has them in abundance. Some of my favorite beaches in July are Anse Lazio in Mahé, Anse Source d’Argent in Praslin, and gorgeous Grande Anse in La Digue. Swim, snorkel, or simply relax with a book. Bliss! While the currents can be strong at some beaches, there are plenty of spots that are perfect for kids too.
Spotting unique wildlife and endemic birds
July is prime season for nature lovers. You can head out on forest hikes to spot rare birds found only in Seychelles. Keep an eye out for the magpie robin, paradise flycatcher, and Seychelles warbler. And don’t miss the seabirds nesting on Cousin Island. For some underwater adventure, hop on a glass-bottom boat tour. You might just swim alongside whale sharks and sea turtles!
Celebrating Seychelles’ vibrant culture
Seychelles comes alive in July with cultural festivals and events. Sway to the beats of moutya and sega music at the Festival Kreol. Watch colorful parades and shows on Bastille Day. And groove to tunes at the Underwater Music Festival!
