Mahé is the largest island of the Seychelles, lying in the north east of the nation. Mahe was first visited by the British in 1609 and not visited by Europeans again until Lazare Picault's expedition of 1742. Mahe's forests have rare endemic plants found only in the Seychelles, such as the Jellyfish tree, the carnivorous Seychelles Pitcher plant and many species of unique orchids. The landscape and vegetation of the southern part of Mahe are still unspoilt. The area has beautiful deserted beaches as well as skirting underwater gardens.
Mahe offers some baffling experiences, for example, even when it rains, there is always some spot in Mahé where it is sunny. Usually, all one has to do is cross to the other side of the island to find fine weather. Visitors can visit the Craft Village, the Creole Institute, or go for a walk along paths cutting through lush vegetation. It is also enriching to discover the spectacular fauna and enjoy the famous beaches with sand as white and fine as talcum powder.
Many different types of accommodation are available in Mahé, ranging from big luxury hotels to small boarding houses or comfortable and bungalows. In Mahe, one may often find himself walking alone along the marked mountain paths that cross a grandiose landscape in the heart of a pristine environment. Most of the population of the Seychelles live on the island of Mahe and this is why it is the showcase of the archipelago's lively Creole culture and its colourful history.
