Mahé is the largest island in Seychelles, located in the Indian Ocean. It’s known for its stunning beaches and green landscapes. The island is home to the capital city, Victoria, which is one of the smallest capitals in the world. Mahé’s coastline is dotted with beautiful white sand beaches like Beau Vallon and Anse Intendance, which are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. The island is also famous for its diverse flora and fauna.

Must sees: 

• Beau Vallon Beach: One of the most popular beaches on Mahé, famous for its long stretch of soft white sand and clear turquoise waters.
• Morne Seychellois National Park: Visit this iconic national park, encircled by the ocean. The park boasts breathtaking views, challenging hiking trails, and a sense of peace and tranquillity.
• Takamaka Bay: Known for its more remote and serene beach, Takamaka is great for those seeking solitude and natural beauty.

Culinary culture:

Seychelles has a rich and diverse culinary culture, influenced by a mix of African, French, Indian, and Chinese traditions. Given the island's location in the Indian Ocean, seafood is a major part of the culinary culture on Mahe island. Fish such as tuna, snapper, and grouper are very popular. Curries are a staple, often made with fresh seafood or chicken and influenced by Indian cuisine.

Dive deeper:

For a deeper dive into the history and culture of Seychelles, visit Seychelles National Museum of History. You can also visit Anse Intendance, a beautiful, quieter beach with large waves and dramatic scenery. The golden sands and surrounding palm trees make it one of the most picturesque beaches on the island.

Good to know:

The official currency in Seychelles is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). While the local currency is preferred for small shops, major hotels, restaurants, and shops also accept US dollars and euros. Creole is the most widely spoken language, though English is commonly spoken in tourist destinations.
