The archipelago of almost 100,000 people recorded close to 500 new cases in the three days to May 1 and has about 1,000 active cases.
The country's news agency said a third of the active cases involved people who received two vaccine doses.
The rest either had a single dose or were unvaccinated.
Schools have been closed and sports activities cancelled for two weeks.
Bars, restaurants and shops are to close early and some gatherings have been banned.
The Seychelles is located off the eastern coast of Africa.
