Top Places to Visit on Praslin Island
1. Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve
Have you ever heard of a sea coconut or a Maldive coconut? This iconic double-lobed coconut can only be found in the Seychelles, specifically on Praslin Island. This interesting nut has been called many names and is most definitely a must-see attraction at the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve. Vallée de Mai, also known as the green heart of Praslin, is a protected natural forest and home to one of the densest coco de mer palm populations in the world.
2. Anse Lazio
If you’re planning to go to the beach while you are on Praslin Island, Anse Lazio is the best place to visit. This spectacular beach is considered to be one of the most exceptional beaches in the Seychelles, known to be a seaside paradise of white sands, azure blue waters, swaying palms, and one-of-a-kind granite formations. This will undeniably be a highlight of your island holiday!
3. Zimbabwe Viewpoint
Another must-visit destination of the island is one of the highest points. For a wide-angle view of such splendour, drive up to Zimbabwe Viewpoint. You’ll get to see the sunset in the distance behind the horizon of neighbouring islands, giving the sea a beautiful golden sheen. The drive-up is simply spectacular and adds an adventure-like touch to your trip.
Top Places to Visit on Mahé Island
1. Beau Vallon Beach
Beau Vallon beach is the longest and the widest beach in Mahé, Seychelles, and is possibly the most popular beach on the entire island. This beach is a must-see when you visit Mahé, especially if you want to witness its lively atmosphere, soft sands, and breathtaking sunsets.
2. Morne Seychellois National Park
If you think Vallée de Mai is a must-visit destination, wait until you see the Morne Seychellois National Park.
