Apartments are the most straightforward way for a foreign buyer to own in Seychelles. Purpose-built developments such as Eden Island were designed with overseas owners in mind, and the government keeps the duty on condominiums low to encourage exactly this kind of investment. For a lock-up-and-leave holiday base or a rental asset, an apartment is often the cleanest route.
What to know about apartments in Seychelles
A lighter tax path
Condominiums in approved developments carry a sanction duty of just 1.5 percent, against 12 percent for a standalone house or land. That gap makes a real difference to the total cost.
The price floor
Apartments bought by a non-Seychellois need a value of at least SCR 30,000 per square metre, which steers foreign demand toward the quality developments.
Easy to own, easy to let
Managed developments handle the upkeep, so an apartment suits owners who visit a few times a year and want the option to rent it out in between.
