MORE INFO
Victoria is a tiny capital on Mahé that functions more as an administrative and service hub than a large city. Its appeal comes from Seychelles itself: beaches, mountains, marine life, safety, tropical scenery, and a slow island rhythm. For remote workers, it can be beautiful but expensive and limited. Housing, imported goods, restaurants, car rental, and flights cost more than many expect, while internet can be adequate but not always world-class. Victoria suits high-budget island stays, not budget nomad life.
