5 Most Beautiful Beaches To Visit In Seychelles

By law, all beaches in Seychelles are public property. Though some of the beaches may be secluded, these stunning stretches of sand are ripe for exploring. Read on to discover the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles.

# Mahe Island

Take a hike through the Morne Seychellois National Park and you will be rewarded with Anse Major. With the only other access to the beach being by boat, you will likely find yourselves alone at this secluded spot. Be sure to take a picnic with you; there’s no refreshments to be found. Here, there’s just a couple of old abandoned buildings and the hike to reach this spot is more than an hour each way. There is, however, some fantastic snorkelling to be done.

#Praslin Island

Situated in the north west of the island, Anse Lazio is a truly special beach. Although it is a tourist favourite, it never feels overcrowded. If you’re looking for solitude, arrive early in the morning and you may be lucky enough to get the beach to yourself. Swimming is generally very safe at Anse Lazio, but be aware that waves can be strong even on seemingly calm days. For those who prefer to relax on the sand, huge Takamaka trees provide much welcomed shade along the 500m beach.

# La Digue Island

Frequently topping the best beach in the world lists, Anse Source D’Argent is unquestionably a beautiful beach. It is located on the west coast of the island and within the grounds of L’Union Estate. If you want to get your classic Seychelles beach photo, this is the place to do it: Trademark pink rocks, water in shades of blue you never even knew existed and powder fine white sand are all to be found here.

# Anse Severe

Cycling to Anse Severe doesn’t take long from the main town of La Passe, but prepare for the steep hill. With the majority of the crowds heading over to the west side of the island, this beach is often very quiet. Head over in the early evening to watch the sunset over Praslin Island.

# Anse Georgette

Anse Georgette is hidden away in the grounds of Constance Lemuria Hotel. The hotel does allow a limited number of outsiders to access daily but you must call ahead to do so. Alternatively, you can take a hike from Mont Plaisir down to the beach. It’s not particularly well signposted so seek local advice; people will be happy to help you. The unique thing about Anse Georgette is that there is no coral or rocks in the bay so it is a pure sand beach. This gives the water the most stunning colour.
