Granite boulders and powder-fine beaches
An archipelago of 115 islands where granite boulders meet turquoise water — Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue offer the Indian Ocean's most photogenic beaches.




Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Ferries between main islands; bike on La Digue; buses on Mahé.
La Digue is car-free — bike everywhere for the perfect island day.
Very safe.
Low-key — hotel bars and beach restaurants.
