Mahe Island - Accommodation

The largest of Seychelles main islands, Mahe, is a granitic island measuring 27km in length and 8km in breadth.  It is the site of Seychelles’ main port when a variety of goods are constantly imported and exported, and is also home to the Seychelles International Airport opened in 1971 by Queen Elizabeth. The world’s smallest Capital, Victoria, can also be found on this island, as can 90% of Seychelles 81,895 strong population.

Despite its busyness (in comparison to other islands), Mahe has a treasure chest full of gems to offer tourist.  Old architecture, the legendary clock tower and a busy market are just three of the offerings of this tiny capital.  The Morne Seychelles National Park, created in 1979 and covering a total land area of 3,045ha (20% of Mahe’s total surface area), is a gift to land lovers.  It boasts the highest peak in Seychelles (910m) that watches protectively over the island and helps create the picturesque landscape that the Seychelles is famous for.

Beau Vallon Bay, Grand Anse and Anse Intendance are just a few names that make up the +65 beaches of Mahe where kaleidoscopes of blue gently lap at the heels of the powder soft beaches.

Mahe has a variety of accommodation ranging from small locally run guesthouses to two of the most luxurious five star properties in Seychelles.  This island is sure to cater to everyone’s budgets and accommodation needs.
