Mahé boasts 65 silver beaches, plus an array of restaurants, cafés, bars and casinos in the tiny capital, Victoria. The Seychelles are home to UNESCO-designated sites, coral atoll Aldabra and Vallée de Mai, called the Garden of Eden. Creole is the main language, but English and French are widely spoken.

Beautiful garden with amazing plants, turtles and few other animals. The owner is such an interesting person that I recomend to visit this place even just to talk with him. We are very happy that we decided to visit this exotic flower garden.

We stopped in as we where passing and we only really went for the giant tortoises. It’s a beautiful spot it really is, immaculately kept and while we only really went to see the giant tortoises, we had a good look round, enjoyed some lunch and a coffee in the park and also saw plenty of the huge fruit bats which are home there also. But the highlight was definitely the giant tortoises which you can pay €5 for a handful of food to feed them and then you can walk amongst them, touch them and feed them, we loved it! Highly recommend!

Walking up, it felt like the opening scene from an Agatha Christie book - a grand old plantation from circa 1855, in the owner’s family for 5 generations. We were greeted by the owner herself and made to feel so welcome (despite having 3 small, loud children). We spent the full morning here and loved every historic minute spent climbing hills, viewing animals (Including giant tortoises), hiking in the woods and playing hide and go seek in all the acerage. We got a little lost in the extensive grounds with every type of fruit and spice tree you can imagine! Highlights: giant tortoises, a glimpse into the past, the owner, the hiking trails, (the only place on Mahe in early August open with turtles) Cons: up a steep one way road; hard to find Remember: bring 125 scr (around $5 I think) for entry pp; lunch is only served at fixed hours 12-2 I think Summary: I’ve been to Mahe and neighbouring islands many times, and on this trip of 6 weeks, I think this was my favourite. It is a truly special place, off the beaten tourist path. Really one of the most unique, quirky sights in the Seyschelles (which is saying a lot as there are so many). We will return!
