Nice beach not many people, however I found the beaches in Preslin and la Digue much nicer. It is worth to rent a car and visit all the top ranked beaches in one day in Mahe.

One of the most beautiful beaches on earth, words wont do it justice, has to be seen to be believed.

Loved this beach - clean, nice surf, breezy. One side occupied by the Four Seasons, and access through the Hotel. Hotel staff were fabulous and even offered us a buggy ride on our way back to the gate (mostly uphill)!

Clean, turquoise waters, white sandy beach. Fed up of the cold weather, missing summer? Seychelles is a great destination and the Four Seasons Seychelles is the best place to go.

The beach is found at the Four Seasons resort and whilst all beaches in the Seychelles are public, they do everything they can here to make this as private as possible.

The snorkeling is good but also not spectacular, the best snorkeling is to be found in the north. At high tide the beach almost disappears which again... More

The snorkeling is terrific with warm water and white sand that is as soft as powder. The locals like to keep it a secret but if you are lucky enough to stay at the Four Seasons, you just have to wander down to the beach from your villa.

You have to park your car outside the main gate which is quite far but the HOTELS golf buggy takes you to the reception or the beach! We told them we wanted to see the Resort and at the front office we... More

Lovely beach at Four Season resort. Tell them you are visiting the cafe and they will take you there in a golf buggy!

When you are doing snorkling, take care of the corals, most of them had dead already and it takes a long time for their recovery
