  Even though Mahe is the most populated island in the Seychelles, it still feels secluded. You can for sure get that feeling of "remoteness" if you avoid the very touristy areas such as Beau Vallon. If you are into hiking - definitely visit the remote beach called Anse Major.

  Mahé is a beautiful island, the main island is Seychelles, the vibes and people are lively and welcoming. Restaurants and hotels are scattered all over with fresh sea food that are very delicious, especially their local cuisine. Public beaches are easily accessible many parts and you can reach it easily. The locals speak English and French as well as Seychellois. Cards are accepted in most of the places.

  Over 1,000 miles 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, ranging 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, there is much to explore. Mahe may be the biggest and most populated island in the Seychelles, housing roughly 90% 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. The joy of Mahe is the variety the island offers: yes, more beach hopping than you could possibly squeeze into a two week holiday, but also waterfalls, jungle, mountain walks and stunning viewpoints, with a whole host of activities from rock climbing to sea kayaking and scuba diving. The beaches are wonderful and many are on a par with those found on Praslin and La Digue, but if you like to mix your beach break with exploration and adventure Mahe is a delight to drive around and find your own corner.
