Beau Vallon Beach

One of the most popular beaches of Mahé. It is bigger than other beaches. Water is so clear and bluish green. We enjoyed the sunset here too. The scene is breathtaking where the green mountain meets the sea and sunset on the back ground. There are lots of bars and souvenirs shops here. Some independent vendors selling fruits and veggies. Diving and snorkeling agencies are also available here. Unfortunately the sea was rough and they were not doing anything that day due to safety reasons for their divers. We parked next to the Tattoo and piercing shop. I wouldn’t say plenty of parking but it is still available and free.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking. Beautiful blue water with view of the hills, perfect for walks, beach sports. This was the first beach we visited after reaching Seychelles and we were awestruck to say the least. It was a sunny day and the ocean blew our mind. The sunset looks magical. The whole country is no less than paradise.

Overall, a wonderful experience! This spot is perfect for watching the sunset — the view is truly breathtaking. There are several beach bars and restaurants nearby, making it easy to grab a drink or enjoy a meal with the ocean breeze. If you're lucky, you might encounter the friendly fruit vendor; she lets you take a photo with a fruit bat if you make a purchase. As the afternoon fades, the sky fills with flying bats. I even spotted a few rays gliding near the shoreline — a magical moment that made the visit even more memorable. The sand on this beach it's not so white and soft as I've experience on the others, but still worth visiting!

Beautiful clean beach with clear waters and soft sand. The water is calm with gentle waves so it's great for children. Lovely to walk the length of the beach. Many restaurants and bars either on the beach or just off it. Fantastic sunsets! Make sure you're here for that. Beach is public but it never felt busy throughout our stay in a local hotel.

One of the best beaches in Mahé. It's absolutely huge. Plenty of space. Lovely sand. Close proximity to restaurants. So calming and relaxing. A must visit for anyone in Seychelles. There is parking around the beach although not many spaces.

Beau Vallon Beach was one of the best beaches I have ever visited, and here’s why: The water was calm with no waves, which made it very comfortable even for my child. In September 2025 (not the peak season), the beach was not crowded, and at times while swimming it felt like the ocean was only mine. Beautiful sunsets almost every evening. Very photogenic and comfortable overall. Plenty of restaurants, takeaways, souvenir shops, and excursion kiosks nearby. I visited several other beaches on Mahé Island, but this one felt the most comfortable.

Beau Vallon Beach is a beautiful spot, especially at sunset! The beach is wide and scenic, perfect for a relaxing swim or walk along the shore. The sunset views are simply breathtaking. The local bazaar is quite small with just a few shops, and prices in Victoria are generally cheaper – but overall, it’s a lovely place to spend time and enjoy the Seychelles vibe. 🌅🌴

A wonderful beach. Calm and which deepens gradually. There is a reef at the western end that does have fish to see. We were there in early June, off peak but would certainly return at this time as the beach is uncrowded as is the hotel (Story) we are staying at.
