NBS counted 306,685 visitor arrivals by week 44 of 2026, 6.5% below the 327,857 of a year earlier, against 102,612 residents in the 2022 census. In Ahrefs’ October 2026 list by estimated search traffic, emirates.com is 10th, seyvillas.com 24th, booking.com 39th, seychelles.com 43rd and story-seychelles.com 54th.
SeyVillas has menus for eight languages and twelve currencies, from euros to rand and dirhams, and on 5 November 2026 its English page offered flights and accommodation on three islands from €1,800. Its main address opened in German when we read it. Save the language and currency with each rate you collect.
Residents buy in Seychelles rupees. On the same day STC’s online shop listed iced tea at ₨44.00 and strawberry syrup at ₨39.50. No .sc address is in Ahrefs’ shopping filter: its four sites are shein.com, 8th overall, aliexpress.com, amazon.com and amazon.co.uk. A Seychellois IP shows whether those shops offer delivery and which currency they quote.
NBS’s 2022 census counted 102,612 people, 87.8% of them on Mahé and its satellites. The Central region is the nine districts in and around the capital, Victoria. Logins name only the country, -cc-sc; which regions and towns are on offer is in the dashboard generator.
Population: NBS, Population and Housing Census 2022, Table A1; shares of the national count. The census gives Victoria town no figure of its own, and it is the one town in the coverage data we have for the country. For the three local networks GeoLite names it more often than any other place, followed by towns such as Bel Air, Mont Buxton, Anse aux Pins and Baie Lazare. City placement is where available, so open an exit in our IP checker before you rely on its town.
These three are the Seychellois ISPs in APNIC’s table, with 48.31% of its user estimate between them. SCRA’s quality reports test two mobile networks, Airtel and Cable & Wireless, and it publishes totals with no split by operator: 168,515 mobile subscriptions at 31 March 2026, or 138.09 per 100 inhabitants.
| Network | Registered as | ASN | Share of users | IPv6-capable | Mobile network |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cable & Wireless | Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) Ltd | AS36958 | 29.43% | 0.03% | Yes |
| Intelvision | Intelvision Ltd | AS36902 | 12.19% | 0.04% | No |
| Airtel | Telecom Seychelles Limited | AS37343 | 6.69% | 0.02% | Yes |
Users: APNIC Labs, 2 November 2026. Subscriptions: SCRA, Q1 2026, which also counts 112,505 mobile broadband and 46,780 fixed broadband lines. In the 2022 census 77.2% of households had internet access. AS37343 is registered as Telecom Seychelles Limited with an Airtel Seychelles address (AFRINIC), so a lookup may print a name other than the brand. Hosting, cloud and satellite networks are left out. No login outside the US, the UK and Germany can choose a network, so read the ASN in a lookup to see which one an exit uses.

STC prints shelf prices in rupees and has Deals and Wholesale sections. Store the product, price and date for a basket you repeat.
24th. Over 200 hotels and island-hopping packages, by its own count. Record one package in each currency from the same session.
54th and 89th. A resort on Beau Vallon beach and a private island with villas and a Rates page. Compare what a Seychellois IP sees with a foreign one.
10th and 60th. Compare fares offered for the same route and dates.
18th, the highest .sc address. Seven-day, marine and tide pages in English, Creole or French.
Mobile, broadband and Airtel Money, as its home page title says. Open it on a phone layout, since phones made 64.58% of page views in October 2026.
Query with gl=sc and hl=en or hl=fr, then repeat on Yandex and, for desktops, Bing. Rank checks by location.
Ranks: Ahrefs Top, Seychelles, October 2026, by estimated organic search traffic. nation.sc, stcl.sc and airtel.sc are outside its list. Similarweb has no free ranking for the country. Collect only what shows without signing in, under each site’s terms.
This session lasts 30 minutes on -cc-sc. The script checks the country first, then keeps the exit only if its ASN belongs to one of the three local networks. That list comes from APNIC’s table of the country’s networks and says nothing about how the pool divides among them.

https://ipinfo.io/jsonAPNIC Labs lists 98 networks for Seychelles, adding up to 155.40% because each share is a separate estimate. Three are the local ISPs above. Much of the rest carries hosting and cloud names such as Hytron Network Services, UCloud, NovoServe and AkileCloud. Second place goes to AS141511, Tarang Cable Network, at 17.19%, yet RIPEstat showed it announcing no addresses on 5 November 2026.
IPv6 shows the same split. The country reads 4.97%, while the three local networks stand at 0.02% to 0.04% and NetCrafters, one of the hosting names, at 44.23%. So a lookup that prints SC tells you little until you read the ASN: AS36958, AS36902 or AS37343 means a Seychellois line.
StatCounter gives Yandex 12.39% of searches on phones and 9.97% on desktops in October 2026, without saying who those users are. Track Google first and add Yandex if its results matter to you.
The Data Protection Act, 2023 (Act 24 of 2023), gazetted on 22 December 2023, is supervised by the Information Commission. Section 51 allows administrative fines of up to SCR200,000. A name or phone number in an advert counts as personal data, so store the price and date without it.
Section 4 of the Cybercrimes and other Related Crimes Act, 2021 (Act 59 of 2021) makes it an offence to cause a computer system to perform a function with intent to secure unauthorised access to data, with a level 4 fine, up to five years in prison, or both. Section 3(d) extends the Act to acts connected with a person or computer system in Seychelles.
The Communications Act, 2023 (Act 3 of 2023), in force since 1 October 2023 and enforced by SCRA, requires a licence from anyone who offers an electronic communications service (section 16). These acts and the Licensing Regulations of 2026 are in English, and we found no mention of VPNs or proxies in them, nor any registration or ban for people who use them.

A Seychellois IP address on a home or phone line carries your requests. You need one to see resort and flight prices as residents do, read STC’s rupee prices or follow search results with gl=sc.
The figure is 1K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026, and it moves as homes connect and disconnect. No separate mobile count exists: phones on Cable & Wireless and Airtel are used where the pool has them, and the order page shows availability.
A login picks the country and stops there, using -cc-sc. Regions and towns on offer, where available, are listed in the dashboard generator. Confirm the place in our IP checker, as GeoLite names Victoria for many blocks and databases can disagree.
Cable & Wireless, Intelvision and Airtel for homes, the three local ISPs in APNIC’s table, and Cable & Wireless and Airtel for phones, the two networks SCRA tests, where the pool has them. The login cannot choose among them, because network keys are offered for the US, the UK and Germany only. SCRA lists mobile number portability regulations, so a number’s prefix may not name its network; go by the ASN.
Seychelles has just those two; static IPs are sold in the countries the order page lists. Residential covers hotel, shop and search pages at the lower price. Phone layouts and app checks are what mobile is for, at $0.50 more per GB.
Residential is $3.49 per GB at the smallest tier and $1.69 at the top one; mobile is $3.99 to $2.19. ISP IPs cost $4.00 and datacenter IPs $2.00 per month where they are on sale. Choose a tier on the pricing page, which also has the free trial’s current terms.
Many hosting and cloud companies hold address blocks that databases place in Seychelles, and APNIC’s table lists dozens of them. A hosting name in the org field of any lookup points to a rented server, so the Python tab filters on the three local ASNs.
Creole is the first language in 85.1% of homes, with English at 8.0% and French at 0.5%, and all three are official, but each site picks its own mix. Seychelles Nation adds Français and Creole sections to its English pages, meteo.sc offers all three, and SeyVillas lets the visitor pick. Local shops such as STC price in rupees.
We found no rule that registers, licenses or bans people who use proxies or VPNs. Unauthorised access is an offence under section 4 of the 2021 cybercrimes act, and the data act applies to personal details you keep. Not legal advice.
A stranger runs them and can see your traffic, logins included. Run the address through a lookup before you trust it: one of the three local ASNs with country SC means a Seychellois line, while a hosting name there means a rented machine.
In a browser extension, app or HTTP client, enter gate.aeonproxy.com, port 7000, username ap_a1b2c3-cc-sc and your password. An hour on one IP takes -sid-vic01-time-3600 after the username. SOCKS5 is in the docs.
