The most incredible beaches in the Seychelles

What comes to your mind when you think of a tropical paradise? For me- it’s the Seychelles. When you Google ‘Seychelles’ the fist image you get is a beach with huge granite rocks surrounded by a lagoon, right? This is where I am taking you today.

Lading in the Seychelles is a spectacular experience itself and it only gets better once you step outside the airport. The granite rocks surround all the main islands making the landscapes look like a painting. With its most jaw-dropping islands of La Digue, Praslin, Silhouette, Felicite and Mahe, the country of Seychelles makes it a dream and diverse holiday destination. 

Let’s explore the list of the most incredible beaches in the Seychelles islands!

1. ANSE SOURCE D’ARGENT, LA DIGUE

This beach will be a highlight of your stay in La Digue. Its natural beauty is so hard to comprehend that it attracts travellers from all over the world. You can photograph this secluded gem from many perspectives as it’s perfect from every angle. The beach is relatively empty until midday and close to sunset which feels like it’s just yours to enjoy. The sunsets here are spectacular every single day and changing colours from deep oranges to moody purples. 

2. ANSE COCOS, LA DIGUE

Although the strong currents make it not a safe beach to swim, Anse Cocos is one of the most spectacular locations to bike to while exploring La Digue. With the swaying palm trees, turquoise waters and trademark granite boulders all around, this place is worth searching its hidden access. Once in Anse Cocos, you can come across the abandoned buildings which are the remains of a once thriving settlement. 

3. ANSE LAZIO, PRASLIN

Holding a strong position within the most jaw-dropping beaches in the world, this crescent of sparkling white sand is a top location on Praslin Island. Shaded with large granite rocks and palm trees, Anse Lazio is synonymous to an ultimate tropical beach escape. Although this beach is a travellers’ favourite, it never feels overcrowded. Head to Anse Lazio to experience the dreamiest sunrise, snorkel in its crystal clear waters and unwind amongst the most spectacular settings. 

4. ANSE INTENDANCE, MAHÉ

One of the most beautiful beaches in the island of Mahe, this quarter of a mile long stretch of glistening white sand is a must-visit location. Anse Intendance is a wild beach located in the South of Mahé and attracts visitors from all around the island with it’s dreamy tropical mood, swinging palm trees and crystal waters. This particular beach is also home to one of the most iconic resorts in the Seychelles- The Banyan Tree. Visit Anse Intendance for surfing, turtle spotting or simply to enjoy a beach day in the most incredible natural settings. 

5. ANSE MARRON, LA DIGUE

Although rather difficult to find, Anse Marron is a natural wonder that you cannot miss. Located in the South of La Digue island, this saltwater pool is surrounded by the impressive rock formations, turquoise and calm waters and a stretch of fine white sand and lush nature. Although the open sea may be rather dangerous for swimming, the natural pools of Anse Marron are bordered with the granite boulders, which makes them a great spot to perfectly unwind.
