🌏 Destination Overview
The Seychelles is a pristine yet luxurious group of islands in the Indian Ocean. On La Digue, Anse Source d'Argent's granite boulders set against powdery white sand is hailed as one of the world's most beautiful beaches; Praslin's Vallee de Mai hides the UNESCO World Heritage 'sea coconut', while century-old giant tortoises amble leisurely across the lawns. With crystal-clear water, pure ecology and private resorts, the Seychelles is a dream paradise for honeymoons and top-tier island getaways, and a perfect escape from the noise of the world.

Popular Attractions
More Attractions →Beach & Island
Anse L'Islette📍 Mahe
A calm, shallow bay on Mahé protected by a natural coral reef. The beach is small but its sand is fine and soft, and with gentle waves and shallow water it is wonderfully suited to families with children swimming and playing in the sand — even well offshore the water only reaches waist height. Nearby you can sample Creole food in a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere.
Beach & Island
Petite Anse📍 Mahe
A small, pristine beach on the west coast of Mahé, Seychelles, ringed by granite cliffs, with powder-fine sand and clear blue water in a clean, unspoiled setting. Although it lies within the Four Seasons Resort area, the beach remains open to the public by local law and can be reached via the hotel.
Beach & Island
Anse Royale📍 Mahe
One of the longest beaches on Mahé, on the island's southeastern coast. Sheltered by a coral reef, the sea here is calm, shallow and gentle, making it ideal for swimming and family play, and it is a well-loved retreat for locals. Just across the road lies a well-equipped village with restaurants, banks, a hospital and other conveniences, so visiting is easy.
Beach & Island
Anse Intendance📍 Mahe
A wild, atmospheric beach on the south of Mahé. With no protecting reef, the water here has big waves and strong currents and the scenery is dramatic — not really suited to ordinary swimming, yet a favourite among surfers. The renowned Banyan Tree resort lies along this coast, and this is one of the most visually striking surf vistas on the island.
Beach & Island
Eden Island📍 Mahe
Seychelles' only artificial island, located off the east coast of Mahé near the capital Victoria and connected to the main island by a causeway of about 200 m. Home to an upscale residential and resort community, it features a marina, the Eden Plaza shopping complex, spas and restaurants, and serves as a convenient base for sightseeing and setting out on excursions to sea.
Beach & Island
St. Pierre Island📍 Praslin
A small granite islet lying just off Praslin and one of Seychelles' most famous snorkelling spots. In its clear, shallow water the coral is abundant, and turtles, parrotfish, clownfish and other fish gather in dense numbers. There is no shore access on land, so it can only be reached by boat, and it is a popular stop on boat day trips.
