Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Mahe Island, Seychelles

September 26, 2021 Roger Rusk

The Seychelles largest and main island, Mahe is home to the capital of Victoria and about 70,000 people (almost 90% of the nation's total). Still, the island retains its idyllic beauty, with 3,000-foot mountains and scores of gorgeous beaches. Many plants, including the so-called Jellyfish Tree and several rare orchids, are unique to Mahe's shores. The Seychelles Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Codevar Craft Centre, all in Victoria, are not to be missed.

Petite Anse

Reviewed By Shelleyash - San Diego, United States

Drive toward the four seasons hotel. When you arrive at the security hut between the roads, take the road on the left, sign in, and walk down the road 10 min staying to right, At the beach there is a swing, activities for hire, soft sand, boulders, lush green foliage, snorkel rental, and food. The water is unbelievably blue, with no waves when we visited in February. When you walk down the isn’t good signage- you mostly stay to the right.

Copolia Trail

Reviewed By Gautamo2020 - Beau Vallon, Seychelles

One of the best view from top of the hill. Trail is well maintained, we have done Many nature trail in Seychelles and Copolia is recommended one for tourists. There is enough signages on the way, so that you will not miss the way. Avoid the trail on the rainy day mainly due to fog on the hill you will not able to see the view properly. Management charge 100 scr per tourist, Which I feel is good because they have maintained the trail very well. and for the residents it's free. We were group of 8 persons, when we reached the trail point it was raining very heavily. When rain Stop we have started out trail which is approximately 800 meter height. And we finished the trail approximately in 25 minutes. Trail is not difficult. One need to carry enough water ???? or soft drinks, as on the way is very humid. Once you reach on top, you feel the paradise. Very beautiful view. During clear weather you can see Praslin island, Ladigue island, Denis Island, Saint Anne Island and all the nearby Islands. Finally I would like to thank staff "BIGUTE FERMIE" for her help and guidence, She was very hospitable and Kind.

Morne Blanc

Reviewed By stepher8 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

800m pretty much straight uphill (there are some spots where it levels out) will take you to this beautiful viewpoint. Most of the trail is shaded. There is a decent sized viewing deck at the top for your photo taking pleasure. What a view it is, greens and blues galore. I didn’t want to go back down.

Sunset Beach

Reviewed By Sean159 - Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom

Having traveled around the whole island we found this to be by far the best little beach to while away the hours. The hotel adjacent will kindly let you park your car in their car park in exchange for a visit to their bar, fair exchange being no robbery and all they, the snorkelling is really good as the bay isn’t as milky as beau Vallon and there’s plenty of fish not afraid of humans as they are fed by the hotel. The most people we saw on the beach was around ten... so not crowded, posting this as we are about to leave and didn’t want to let the secret out and spoil it before we left.....

Anse Royale beach

Reviewed By PedroPombo - Ahmedabad, India

A long beach surrounded by mountains with a clear intense blue water. The view is magnificent, even in a rainy day as when I was there. Rains can be quite quick, so after 15 minutes of rain, the sun comes out and the colors of the sky and the water are just amazing. Few cheap take away places for food, relaxed ambience, this is a beautiful place to spend the day.

Spiaggia di Port Launay

Reviewed By BKforever1718 - Doha, Qatar

We headed to Port Launay beach which is just right in the North of our wonderful resort at Constance Ephelia. Port Launay is one of the most popular beach in Marine Park on Mahe Island. It offered gorgeous scenery, white sandy, with calm ocean surface. This amazing beach was a perfect place for swimming and snorkeling indeed. We saw tons of beautiful fish around the edge of the impressive bay. We really do enjoyed our amazing experience at Port Launay beach.
