Anse Intendance

Anse Intendance, like most of the stunning Seychelles beaches, is known for its iridescent turquoise sea and thick tropical foliage. The only thing missing is a coral reef, but this is actually a benefit because no reef equals great surfing.

While Anse Intendance is normally gorgeous and tranquil, it isn't the finest beach for families on the island. Swimming is tough for both the younger set and other, less competent swimmers, especially from June to September, because to the harsh waves and currents that entice surfers.

This untamed strand, located on Mahé's south western coast, is home to the elite Banyan Tree Seychelles, a romantic beach resort where vacationers are treated to individual pool villas in a magical setting. It is, however, placed back from the shoreline, making it an unobtrusive addition to the landscape. Sunbathers searching for a bite to eat will appreciate the hotel's accessible position, as there are no shops or other concessions on this private beach.
