Seychelles Health & Safety, Seychelles Travel Guide and Tourist Information
Safety
The crime rate in the Seychelles is on the rise thanks to a methamphetamine outbreak in the capital city of Victoria, as well as in other areas. Robberies, pickpockets and purse snatching are increasing and rapes are reported on a regular basis. The police force and the court system seem to be corrupt and ineffective when it comes to dealing with these issues, so it’s important to follow security measures when visiting the Seychelles, which means do not travel alone, be careful when you visit isolated beaches, don’t go to clubs or restaurants alone and keep your valuables in hotel safes. Common sense is your best security tool when you use it.
