Why Visit Mahé
Victoria, the Seychelles' petite capital, is one of the world's smallest capitals — its colourful Creole market, clock tower and botanical gardens are easily explored on foot.
Mahé's west coast beaches, including Beau Vallon, are the most accessible on the island and offer excellent snorkelling, water sports and sunset views.
The Morne Seychellois National Park covers over a third of Mahé and provides trails through cloud forest to dramatic ridgeline viewpoints.
