Seychelles in April — Full Picture
April is widely rated the best all-round month in Seychelles — the wind dies down and changes direction as the seasons turn, leaving calm, glassy seas and warm water. It averages around 31°C/26°C with rainfall continuing to ease.
This is prime time for diving and snorkelling: visibility is at its best and the inter-island crossings are at their smoothest. Beaches across the islands tend to be at their most idyllic, with the seaweed cycle in a lull during the transition.
Because it's such a good month, it's also popular — and the Easter holiday period can push prices up, so book ahead. The UV is intense, so sun protection is essential even when the air feels merely warm.
If you can pick only one window for a first trip, April (with October) is the safe bet — calm, warm, and balanced across all three islands.
What to Wear & What to Pack
The calmest month — warm (around 31°C/26°C), little wind, and warm seas as the monsoon turns. Lightweight clothing, swimwear, strong reef-safe SPF 50+, hat and sunglasses for very high UV.
