I Love Seychelles

Anse Royale @ east coast of Mahe

Part of the east coast from Victoria to the airport probably is the least attractive part of Mahé. Apart from the glimpses of the blue ocean and green mountains there isn’t much to see here.

Clear blue water

Around the corner at Ile du Suete, just after passing the airport, the landscape became much more attractive again. At Anse Royale we just had to stop and jump out of the car and run to the beach. It was incredibly beautiful. The water clear and turquoise blue. A bay with unspoiled yellow sandy beaches, granite rocks and green, lush vegetation with palm trees. Heaven!

Regrettably we had to leave this beautiful sight and continue our Mahé island trip. While driving we constantly got glimpses of small, secret and secluded beaches. Beaches with unknown names and just for the 2 of us if we had decided to stop.

At Quatre Bornes the road made a turn in westward direction from the east coast across the island to the west coast. Here we saw green hills with jungle and tiny patches of farm land. Before we knew it we had reached the coast line again (I told you it’s a small island) and we noticed a sign saying Anse Takamaka.
