Praslin and La Digue

The Inner Seychelles: Mahé

Short ferry legs connect three islands that share the same granite-boulder good looks but feel distinct: Mahé has the mountains and the markets, Praslin the primeval Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio's perfect curve, and car-free La Digue saves the best for last — cycle to Anse Source d'Argent for the most photographed shoreline on earth.

About this place

Short ferry legs connect three islands that share the same granite-boulder good looks but feel distinct: Mahé has the mountains and the markets, Praslin the primeval Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio's perfect curve, and car-free La Digue saves the best for last — cycle to Anse Source d'Argent for the most photographed shoreline on earth. April, May, October and November bring the calmest seas.
