It has been voted the best beach in the world on several occasions, but despite this it is not overly crowded. It’s well worth a visit at least once during your stay.
While you’re here, bring some snorkelling gear with you to explore the views under the waves. Of course, if you’re an experienced diver, or you’re looking to take lessons, then you’ll find everything you need here in the Seychelles.

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.
For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
