Nature takes priority in the Seychelles; most islands are nature reserves and even on the three most inhabited islands large areas of land are protected. When you visit, you’ll understand why.
MAHE ISLAND
Over 1600 kilometres from the east coast of Africa, the island of Mahe’s jungle clad mountains rise from the Indian Ocean. With over 60 beautiful beaches and coves fringing the island there is much to explore, from sweeping bays of white sand to hidden corners you can make your own, a densely forested interior and small towns with a unique Creole culture.
Mahe may be the biggest and most populated island in the Seychelles, housing roughly 90 percent of the nation’s 89,000 citizens, but with the majority of people living in and around the capital of Victoria in the north east of the island, it is easy to escape and find your own Robinson Crusoe experience.
