East Coast
Apart from a military base located on the southernmost tip of Mahé, this part of the island rests relatively immaculate with its crystal-clear lagoon. Anse Royale, an azure bay, is perfect for observing multicolored fish and lush coral reefs during the winter season of October until end of April from aboard your luxury charter mega yacht. With flippers on your feet, the Souris island is only a short swim away. A brief walk away are also two villages of Anse-Royale and la Plaine-Saint-André where you can visit authentic pottery workshops and ship model artisans. Past a quaint fishing village of Anse-aux-Pins, the roads guides to Enstiti Kreol, a research institute leading interesting studies on the Creole language.
From Anse Etoile a narrow road, la Gogue, leads to the northernmost tip of the island through vast fields of sweet, fragrant tropical flowers and mango trees until it reaches the cemetery of Glacis. Forêt Noir and Sans Soucis are ideal trails for hikers wishing to reach Morne-Blanc through tea plantations and a dense plush forest. Anticipate a great adventure on land and on water during your luxury charter vacation with Sunreef Yachts Charter.
