Mahe, the main island of the Republic of Seychelles and the political, economic and cultural heart of the country, lies in the western part of the Indian Ocean and, although it covers an area of only about 155 square kilometers, it is home to some of the best of Seychelles' natural and man-made landscapes. It is home to Victoria, the tiny capital city known for its bustling markets, colonial-style architecture and the world's smallest church. The island is blessed with rugged mountains, lush green rainforests and long stretches of white sandy beaches, including Ancelazio Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with its fine white sands set against clear blue-green waters. Mahé is also a paradise for eco-enthusiasts, with Prahran Island National Park offering an abundance of rare flora and fauna for hiking, scuba diving and bird watching. The year-round warm climate (24-32 degrees Celsius) makes it a four-season vacation destination and a top choice for experiencing the unique island flavor of the Seychelles.
