There are beaches, and then there are
beaches. This 115-island nation
off Africa’s eastern shore has some of the world’s most beautiful white
sands—and lavish new resorts, so you can experience them in style. On
the private island of Félicité, Six Senses Zil Pasyon
is paradise for honeymooners, with five open-air spa pavilions and a
plunge pool adjoining each of the 30 villas, which face the ocean. Later
this year, Desroches Island’s sole resort will become a Four Seasons:
guests can stay in an airy, eclectic-chic beach suite or one of 11
palatial villas. Also ideal for families: the new Presidential Villa on Cousine Island.
The climate is equable although quite humid, as the islands are small, classified by Köppen-Geiger system as tropical rain forest
(Af). The temperature varies little throughout the year. Temperatures
on Mahé vary from 24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F), and rainfall ranges from
2,900 mm (114 in) annually at Victoria to 3,600 mm (142 in) on the mountain slopes. Precipitation is somewhat less on the other islands.

During the coolest months, July and August, the average low is about
24 °C (75 °F). The southeast trade winds blow regularly from May to
November, and this is the most pleasant time of the year. The hot months
are from December to April, with higher humidity (80%). March and April
are the hottest months, but the temperature seldom exceeds 31 °C
(88 °F). Most of the islands lie outside the cyclone belt, so high winds
are rare.
