Beau Vallon, 4km to the west of Victoria, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles, boasting over 3km of white sand bordered by warm crystalline waters on the sea side and coconut palms and takamakas inland. So, it comes as no surprise that one of the most sought-after resorts on Mahé island has grown up around it, with its attendant tourist infrastructure and plethora of water sports outfits (you can even go parasailing here). And just wait until you see the sunsets here - unforgettable!
