Remote work in Seychelles

Remote work in Seychelles

Including Beau Vallon and Côte d'Or. On the map.

The vibe

Setting up a laptop here means working under a veranda with views of turquoise shallows, though you will need patience with island internet speeds. The cooler months from May to September offer the most comfortable climate for getting things done without melting into your keyboard. It is a slow-paced remote stint rather than a buzzing nomad hub, best suited for self-directed travelers who value solitude over community coworking spaces.

  • Beau Vallon, Mahé

    Beau Vallon on Mahé island offers a relaxed beachfront remote work base with reliable fiber internet available through local guesthouses and resort workspaces. Digital nomads appreciate the balance of sandy shores, seaside cafes, and modern amenities. It suits travelers looking for tropical island living combined with functional connectivity.

    Access. Easily reached via a 15-minute taxi or bus ride from Seychelles International Airport and Victoria. Most remote workers base themselves in coastal apartments or boutique hotels along the bay for stays of several weeks.

    Notes. Peak tourist season runs from December to January and July to August, bringing higher accommodation rates. Local mobile data (Airtel and CWS) provides reliable backup hotspots.

  • Côte d'Or, Praslin

    Côte d'Or on Praslin island provides a scenic beachfront work setting surrounded by turquoise waters and lush palm trees. Remote workers frequent local eco-lodges and guesthouses equipped with stable Wi-Fi and quiet workspaces. It suits island-loving professionals seeking a quieter, nature-immersed long-term base.

    Access. Accessible via a 15-minute domestic flight or a 1-hour Cat Cocos ferry from Mahé, followed by a short taxi ride across Praslin. Long-term rentals and guesthouses line the beachfront.

    Notes. Island infrastructure is more limited than on Mahé, so having a reliable backup mobile data plan is essential for remote work.
