Airbnb Revenue Management Consultant in Seychelles at a glance
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Airbnb revenue management for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Seychelles, Seychelles, one to one, remotely and in Seychelles Time (UTC+4). In Seychelles, I price December to January and April to May as the peak and September to November as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue.
Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in Seychelles: Honeymoon and luxury travel; European and Gulf holiday calendars; Diving and sailing season; Praslin and La Digue island demand. Guests I price for: European and Gulf couples on 7 to 10 night stays. Where I start: Holiday premiums, weekly pricing, and self-catering licence compliance.
On Airbnb and Booking.com I set up weekly pricing, island-hopping friendly minimums and seasonal rules that follow the trade winds. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I add the festive and European holiday dates, and keep the base rate high enough that automation never undercuts a market with very limited supply.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Seychelles.

“The Seychelles are a honeymoon and luxury market with limited supply. Couples stay a week or more, often across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Self-catering units need a licence. Island logistics matter to guests. Supply is limited and costs are high, so the goal is protecting rate in peak weeks rather than chasing occupancy with discounts that the market does not need. Island-hopping is common, so flexible stays and clear ferry and flight information help guests plan around several islands.”

How I price it
My Seychelles calendar, and what I do in each period
December to JanuaryPeak
Christmas and New Year bring the most honeymooners and families, so I hold week-long minimums and price the festive dates as the top band.
February to MarchHigh
The northwest monsoon brings humidity and showers, but Europeans still escape winter, so I keep rates firm on Mahé and Praslin and allow slightly shorter stays.
April to MayPeak
Calm seas and clear water make this a favourite window for diving and snorkelling, so I raise beachfront rates and target couples with ten-night stays.
June to AugustHigh
Southeast trade winds affect some beaches, but European summer holidays drive demand, so I price sheltered homes higher and exposed ones a little lower.
September to NovemberLow
The quietest stretch even as seas calm again, so I protect the nightly floor, add value through longer stays or included transfers, and target Gulf travellers on short breaks.
Where I price differently in Seychelles
Beau Vallon, Mahé
A long sandy beach with restaurants and dive centres, so I price for couples wanting convenience and charge more for direct beach access in calm months.
Côte d'Or, Praslin
A popular bay near Anse Lazio and the Vallée de Mai; I price villas here for honeymooners and hold longer minimums in the peak months.
La Digue
A small island where bicycles replace cars; I price for charm stays of three or four nights and keep rates high because supply is tight.
What I check first in Seychelles
Which beach the home faces and how that matches the trade winds, since one island can have calm water on one side and seaweed or swell on the other depending on the month.
Whether ferry and flight links to Praslin and La Digue are explained, with check-in times that match the schedules, because late arrivals and early departures are common for island-hopping couples.
Whether the listing shows what self-catering really means here, including shopping, a car or bicycles, and cooking options, because guests compare villas with full-board resorts.
