Beaches
Anse Royale
A popular beach located on the south east side of Mahé.
North and South beaches. Great for small kids because its waters are shallow and gradually deepen.
We like Del Place restaurant (north west side of the island) near the Constance Ephelia Resort and Port Lunay. The food is great and the views are breath taking.
