How much is rent in Seychelles in 2026?

On Mahé, renovated one-beds in the Beau Vallon and Victoria corridor often land around SCR 12,000–20,000 per month (~$850–1,400) when finish, AC, and walkability are solid. Capital-side convenience near Victoria and English River can sit inside that band when you accept denser streets: Living in Victoria. Eden Island and marina-adjacent luxury asks commonly start near SCR 25,000+ and climb into clearer luxury bands for waterfront finish and marina access.

South-coast Anse Royale and Takamaka can soften the headline when you trade denser west-coast beach life for greener, quieter stock and longer trips back to Victoria desks. Island shortlists that put those tradeoffs in order: Where to live in Seychelles.

Praslin long-stay asks often sit roughly 20–30% under comparable Mahé peaks for similar size, then add Cat Cocos ferry or domestic-flight logistics for big shops and many specialist appointments. La Digue runs a thinner long-stay inventory around bike and ox-cart life near Anse Source d'Argent; soft screenshots do not equal easy twelve-month choice. Treat outer-island savings as rent-line relief, not a full cost freeze once ferries and thinner supermarket choice enter the sheet: How expensive is Seychelles and Monthly budget for Seychelles.

Furnished tourist-ready stock usually prices above unfurnished residential leases. Do not multiply a peak-season nightly rate by thirty and call it your housing line. How you find and close a lease on this thin market: How to rent a home in Seychelles.

Public Utilities Corporation (PUC) electricity and water often sit outside advertised rent. Air conditioning through sticky northwest-monsoon nights can rewrite the power line harder than a dry holiday week: How humid is Seychelles and Weather in Seychelles. Deposit plus first month at signing also sit outside the monthly chart, commonly one to two months’ rent held as security.

Compare total housing (rent plus realistic PUC with AC) when you judge Beau Vallon convenience against Anse Royale softness or a Praslin cottage. SCR headline quotes that exclude cooling are incomplete planning tools on a humid granitic island.
