May be someone have already visited both, or visited one of the islands. I am planning a trip with my b/f for the end of summer. I've read a lot about maldives and seychelles, but the more info I get the more difficult is for me to decide.. The prices are almost the same.. The Seychelles are a bit more expensive, but they look gorgeous! Please advice ;)

In 2004 I went to the Seychelles and in 2005 I went to the Maldives. Both destinations were very expensive and so beautiful with delightful looking palm fringed islands. Accommodation is both places tends to be pricey. In the Seychelles I traveled with my ex-boyfriend and we went to Mahe Island, La Digue Island and Praslin Island. We did much snorkeling to see colorful coral and we saw some stunning sunsets. I went to the Maldives on my own. I went to Asdo Island, a tiny palm fringed island that I could walk around in ten minutes. Then I spent a few days in Male, the capital and then flew to Gan Island. The boat transfers to resort islands in the Maldives are about $100 to $150 one way. The Maldives was lovely but the Seychelles scenery was just perfect. I hope to visit Mauritius one day that would probably be nice.

I think it is not so easy to choose. You may check on Lonelyplanet Site and check a lot of information on travelling to Seychelles or Maldives . I also checked on Wikitravel Site and it seems that Maldives is relatively cheaper . You might also check up with these countries' embassy in your country .
