Where to buy drinking water for a rental apartment/villa in Seychelles and what bottle size is best?

Near Mahé airport there's a shop where you can buy several 6×1.5L water packs along with groceries; most stores generally stock 1-1.5L bottles.

5-liter water jugs are inconvenient to carry and store — better to stick with 1-1.5L bottles.

The island is hilly, so be prepared for tricky parking at apartments; a rented Suzuki Swift automatic handles steep driveways well.

When booking apartments, check the access and parking in advance — some require driving up dark mountain roads in the evening and parking among flower pots, unlike options with direct access to the coastal road.

If you spot 5-liter water bottles in a store, grab them right away for your apartment — usually the choice is limited to 0.75L or 19L bottles, which meant buying three 0.75L bottles every evening on the west coast.
