Mahé Island

Mahé, the largest island, is home to the international airport and the nation’s capital Victoria. Measuring 28km long by 8km wide, Mahé is the cultural and economic hub of the Inner Islands.

 Mahé can be divided in 4 areas which you can discover by clicking on the links below: Mahé North (Beauvallon),  Mahé Central (Victoria),  Mahé East (Airport), Mahé West & South.

 With a backdrop of towering 1000m granite peaks, Mahé is an extraordinary treasure trove of flora that has evolved over centuries of splendid isolation. Rare endemic plants found nowhere else in the world adorn Mahé’s mist forests in mountain strongholds, such as the Jellyfish Tree, the carnivorous Seychelles Pitcher Plant and the Seychelles Vanilla Orchid. Fantastic hiking trails across the mountains.

Mahé is the transportation hub for island-hops and day excursions to neighbouring islands and all other islands within Seychelles. All scheduled domestic flights by Air Seychelles originate from Mahé to the serviced islands. A leisurely tour of the island by car will take 3 hours and reveal the lion’s share of Seychelles’ accommodation facilities, places of cultural interest and other attractions.
