Evening Dîner pieds nus au coucher du soleil
First romantic dinner on the beach — many resorts offer private barefoot dining on the sand with torches, candles, and the sound of waves. Fresh grilled fish, Creole spices, and chilled rosé under the stars set the tone for your honeymoon.
Day 2 Mahé — Secret Southern Beaches
Morning Anse Intendance
Drive to Anse Intendance, a wild and breathtaking beach on Mahé's south coast. Towering coconut palms frame a crescent of pristine sand where powerful Indian Ocean waves roll in. The beach is undeveloped — no hotels, no crowds, just raw natural beauty.
Afternoon Anse Takamaka & déjeuner créole

Afternoon Plage privée & snorkeling à Anse Georgette

Morning Bateau vers l'île Silhouette
