TL;DR

One option is to find accommodation on Booking.com, contact the host directly and arrange cash payment on arrival. Ask the owner for an invitation or accommodation confirmation to support your entry authorization application.

What the community said

Find a suitable property on Booking.com and message the host directly. You may be able to arrange cash payment on arrival, sometimes with a discount because the owner avoids platform commission.

Once you have agreed with the owner, request an invitation or proof of accommodation. This can be used when applying for Seychelles entry authorization.

If you prefer an online booking alternative rather than arranging directly with a host, check Yandex Travel and Trip.com. The accommodation selection may be smaller than on Booking.com.
