Weather

The islands of the Seychelles enjoy a year-round warm tropical climate, generally governed by two opposing trade winds. The south-easterly trades blow from May to September bringing drier and windier conditions ideal for sailing. From October to March the gentler north-west trades provide calmer seas but a higher chance of refreshing showers. Scuba divers will find April, May, October and November have the warmest seas and visibility is often 30 metres plus

Cousine

This tiny island paradise, located just four degrees south of the equator, is fully dedicated to the preservation of nature. At certain times of year, hawksbill turtles come ashore to nest as does the occasional green turtle, a rare occurrence in the Seychelles. Hidden amongst the foliage are four colonial-style villas accommodating up to ten guests in total; perfect for a peaceful romantic escape or family getaway.
