However, there are some of the beautiful paradise beaches that stand out a little extra from the crowd. Read along here and find the best beaches for your trip to the Seychelles.

Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue – the world's most photographed beach

The beach Anse Source d'Argent on the island of La Digue is probably the image of what most people associate with a Seychelles trip. With its distinctive cliffs, chalky white sand and crystal clear azure waters, it's understandable why people make pilgrimages to this beautiful beach to relax in the good Seychelles weather.

Anse Source d'Argent is known for being one of the world's most photographed beaches, and when you stand in the middle of the beautiful beach, you understand why. It feels a bit like stepping into the garden of paradise.

It is worth knowing that it costs something to enter the area, from where you can visit the world-famous Anse Source d'Argent beach. Since it is world famous, the beach is also quite popular, so be sure to get there early if you want to avoid sharing it with too many tourist sites.

Anse Major, Mahé – active holidays on your trip to the Seychelles

If you are planning a trip to the Seychelles and would like to combine relaxing in good weather on beautiful bounty beach with some active holiday, then you must visit what is often referred to as perhaps the most beautiful beach on the island of Mahé.

To get to Anse Major beach, you have to go on a short hike of about 2,5 km. The trip takes you through breathtaking nature and is almost a bigger experience than the Anse Major beach itself. The trip takes about an hour, but is accessible to most people. Fortunately, your hardships can be rewarded in the small beach bar on the beach when you arrive.

What better way to enjoy one of the best and most pristine beaches in the Seychelles than with a drink in hand under a palm tree in the good weather?

Consider Lazio, Praslin

Even if you haven't been to the Seychelles, you've probably already seen Anse Lazio beach - at least in pictures. The beach is often called the world's most beautiful beach, and it can often be found on various advertisements for a trip to the Seychelles.

When you see the beach, you understand why. It certainly lives up to its name as a paradise beach and is definitely worth a visit if you are traveling to the Seychelles and the island of Praslin.

La Passe, Silhouette Island

On the untouched Silhouette Island you will find the beautiful beach La Passe. Here you can spend the days in the shade of a palm tree and enjoy the beautiful nature of the lush island. You can also jump into the crystal clear water and experience a whole new world under the water's surface with snorkelling. Maybe you are lucky to meet a turtle?

Petite Anse, La Digue

Some beaches manage to make you speechless. Petit Anse on the island of La Digue has that effect on one. With its enchantingly clear water, chalky white sand and soft waves lapping lightly over the shore, you will be breathless when you step onto this paradise beach.

It takes a little effort to get to the beautiful beach, but it also means that there are fewer people here than on some of La Digue's other paradise beaches. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Petite Anse from sister beach Grande Petite, but the walk is definitely worth the effort.

Just imagine having one of the world's most beautiful beaches almost entirely to yourself. It's an experience you don't want to miss on your trip to the Seychelles.

Grand Anse, La Digue

Grand Anse is the big sister beach to Petit Anse above. The beach is somewhat more visited than its little sister, as it is easier to access - on the other hand, it is also larger.

Grand Anse is actually La Digue's longest beach, so there is more space to frolic and enjoy the lovely weather in the Seychelles.

Spend a day on this beautiful beach and cool off in the crystal clear waters. You can also go exploring on one of the beautiful hiking routes in the area. It's worth noting that the current can be quite strong at this beach at some times of the year, so keep that in mind if you're planning a Seychelles trip with children.

Beau Vallon, Mahé – snorkeling and diving on your Seychelles trip

If you exist diving and snorkelling, you must visit Beau Vallon beach on the northernmost coast of the island of Mahé. The clear water and wild coral reefs create the ideal conditions for an underwater experience a little out of the ordinary.

Go exploring in the turquoise water or enjoy some relaxing hours on the chalky white sand beach. There are plenty of things to do on the beach – even for those looking for something other than pure relaxation. You can both try jet skiing or rent surfboards at Beau Vallon. You can also go on a boat trip. Let's just say that you can quickly spend a whole day walking by the beautiful beach.

Anse Intendance, Mahé

The water at Anse Interdance is the same color as what you see on postcards – shimmering azure blue. The beautiful wide beach has the finest soft sand and plenty of lovely shady spots where you can enjoy a good book, a game of cards or a little afternoon nap.

There can be a lot of current and big waves at the beach, but you can still swim well as long as you pay attention. The beauty of the beach, however, is worth the entire visit. It's the type of beauty that completely blows you away and makes you want to stay a little longer.

No matter which island(s) your trip to the Seychelles goes to, there are plenty of beautiful paradise beaches to choose from. You will find some of the world's most beautiful beaches here, and a holiday in the Seychelles is a bit like a holiday in paradise.

Really good trip to the Seychelles!
