My foray into the world of credit cards, points and miles really began when I joined TPG about a year and a half ago. I had a couple of cards prior to working here, but I didn't give much thought to which card to use, or when or how to maximize the benefits.
15 Best beaches in Seychelles
16.08.2023 - 06:05 / roughguides.com
It’s precisely the relaxed attitude to life that appeals to visitors who come to Seychelles in search of a stress-free environment and natural beauty. If all you want out of your holiday is sun, sea and sand, there are other, cheaper tropical destinations. But if you are prepared to pay extra to enjoy the unique flora and fauna and loll on some of the best beaches in the world, look no further. Here is our pick of the best beaches in Seychelles.
Best for: the views
Just north of Quatre Borne's takeaway, a road leads onto a western promontory which has three bays. One of the best beaches in Seychelles here is Anse Soleil, an enchanting small sandy beach rated the second best ‘hidden secret’ in the world by the German magazine Reise & Preise, with good swimming and excellent views. It is rarely busy, except on Sundays when the simple but very good restaurant is popular with locals.

Best for: beach activities
Neighbouring Petite Anse is another one of the best beaches in Seychelles, a sandy cove, about 10 minute's walk along a shaded track. Unfortunately, this beach is not suitable for swimming as the currents are very strong, the waves are high and the wind is strong. If you do decide to swim here, do not swim too far and make sure you have someone watching you from the shore.
Despite the lack of swimming opportunities, the beach is perfect for other beach activities such as sunbathing, picnicking or playing beach sports.

Best beaches in Seychelles for relaxation
The west coast road continues past Grand Anse Agricultural Station to the bay of Grand Anse. This is a majestic, tree-lined beach with fine white sand and granite rocks, but the treacherous offshore currents make it unsuitable for swimming (a governor of Seychelles drowned here in 1962). Over the brow of the hill, the road descends to tiny picturesque Petite Île.

Best for: seclusion
Anse Cocos is surrounded by spectacular rock formations. Like Grand Anse, however, currents are strong and swimming can be dangerous. Unless you are particularly adventurous it is not worth exploring further than Anse Cocos. Here the track turns inland crossing Pointe Ma Flore – which offers a lovely view over Anse Cocos and the northeast coast – to Anse Caiman, then peters out before you reach the road at Anse Fourmis.

How We Pulled It Off: A Relaxed Zanzibar Destination Wedding on the Beach
Even far before the pandemic, a large wedding was not in the cards for Biljana Bartulac and Sam Erskine. “I would see people spend a lot of money on their weddings, and actually not enjoy them at all because they were too huge, and the couples too stressed out,” says Biljana. “Then the next day they’d wake up and ‘Oh, that’s it.’ They spent so much money for that one day.”
