Start your day by exploring the colorful Victoria Market, the largest market in Mahe Island. Here, you will find an array of fresh local produce, spices, souvenirs, and handmade crafts, all sold by friendly local vendors. After exploring, head to Beau Vallon Beach for a day of swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Admire the stunning views of the mountains and turquoise waters while savoring delicious food from the nearby beachfront cafes and restaurants.
Start your day by exploring the lush Morne Seychellois National Park. You can hike through the forested trails, marvel at stunning waterfalls, and see rare endemic species such as the Seychelles giant tortoise and Seychelles scops owl. After a morning of exploring, head to the secluded Anse Intendance Beach, which is known for its turquoise waters, soft sand, and spectacular waves. This beach is more suited for experienced swimmers and surfers but is great for a leisurely walk or some sunbathing as well.
If you have more time, you can explore additional beaches like Anse Royale or visit the Takamaka Rum Distillery. If you have less time, you can combine the Victoria Market with a visit to the Botanical Gardens or just spend the day at one beach instead of both. Don't forget to carry plenty of sunscreen, water, and comfortable shoes for hiking at the national park.
