Mauritius or Seychelles for November 2025?

My gf and I are planning to travel this November (probably in the last two weeks) and are yet start with Visa and bookings.

We wanted to have some relaxed experience - like some beach time, wandering around, trying good food etc. Also, this would be our first international trip.

Budget is fine. As we are from India, Mauritius is visa free so it’s easy that way for a last minute trip. However when we see Seychelles , we are confused choosing between two.

If you have happened travelling to these countries, can you please help decide?
