Tour itinerary

ru:en Остров для купания

A wide, west-facing bay on the northern tip of Praslin, framed by granite boulders and palm trees. The water is clear and deep close to shore, with firm sandy bottom and mild swell through most of the year. The open shape gives good holding for day anchorage in settled weather. In 2016, CNN listed Anse Lazio among the ten most beautiful beaches in the world.

A granitic island north of Praslin, part of the Curieuse Marine National Park, known for its free-roaming giant tortoises and the remains of a former leper colony. The coastline combines red granite formations with mangrove forests and shallow turquoise bays, while inland trails link the visitor area at Baie Laraie to the Doctor’s House museum and turtle nursery. The island is uninhabited and accessible only by day boats under park regulations.

A small granite island east of Praslin, known for its slow rhythm, bicycle roads and some of the most photographed beaches in the world, including Anse Source d’Argent. The coastline alternates between sculpted boulder coves and shallow lagoons with coral sand, while the interior holds coconut groves and small villages. The island is connected by short ferry routes to Praslin and Mahé and remains a symbol of traditional island life in the Seychelles.

A small secluded bay on the northwest coast of Mahé, reachable by sea or a hiking trail from Bel Ombre. The beach lies between steep granite slopes and clear water that turns deep just a few meters from shore. Anchoring is possible in calm conditions, and the setting feels remote despite being only a short run from the main island’s marinas.
