Mahe Island
At the heart of the Seychelles archipelago lies Mahé, the largest and most densely populated of these beautiful islands. Despite the fact that this is the busiest island, it is still easy to find picturesque villages and deserted beach hideaways. The island boasts around 60 idyllic golden beaches and coves, and those who wish to venture further inland can explore the soaring mountains with their lush rainforests. The mountains are the highest in the archipelago and form a dramatic backdrop to the stunning coastline.
The capital city, Victoria, claims to be the smallest in the world and visitors can enjoy genuine Seychellois culture at the vibrant local market. There is also an interesting range of other cultural, historical and artistic attractions. The botanical gardens, with its superb collection of tropical plants, is a firm favourite with nature lovers.
With an average year round temperature of 27˚c, Mahé has the perfect climate for waterskiing, sailing and windsurfing. A variety of water sports are available on the larger beaches. Alternatively, many visitors enjoy simply relaxing in the sun.
