    1 h

  2. The Domaine de Val des Près which is located at St Roch Au Cap, 16 km from Victoria is an experiment in re-creating the Traditional Creole Village as a mean of promoting the Seychellois Cultural Heritage, depicting the various activities that may be found in a traditional estate.

  • 5Incredible 5-Star Private Tour with Warren

    An unforgettable private island tour with Warren! ​We had an absolutely amazing 8-hour private tour of the island with Warren. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating insights throughout the day. What really stood out was his thoughtfulness—he made sure we had plenty of time to ourselves to explore and take everything in without feeling rushed. He even generously went an hour over time just to ensure we got the full experience. If you’re looking for a brilliant, considerate, and top-tier guide, Warren is your man. We couldn't recommend him highly enough! 5*

  • 5Tour Guide/Driver Jackpot!

    We had the most wonderful tour with Colin and Hendrick. They were timely, friendly, informative and flexible with the plan. We can’t remember another time when we have had such fun on a guided island tour. They showed us beautiful sights for photos, tour of Victoria, craft market and finally rum tasting/cocktails. There was some rain so they had to do some quick rearranging, but the tour was lovely and just what we were looking for. Thank you so much and we can’t recommend enough. Such charming hosts that were happy to share their country with us. Thank you for an amazing time.

    A wonderful and very educational day trip. Collin is a super friendly tour guide and knows extremely much about the Seychelles & its history. He is helpful, funny and very professional in his job .From the start to the end of the excursion, everything was well organized. (a guided tour in Victoria, rum tasting experience at La Plaine St Andre, a tour at Val De Pres, guided walk of the Cap Lazare Private Nature Reserve followed by a creole lunch.) I highly recommend this excursion to other guest .. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity!!

About Beau Vallon

Beau Vallon is a long curved bay of white sand on the north-west coast of Mahé, the main island of Seychelles, backed by palms and granite headlands.

Beau Vallon is one of the best-known beaches on Mahé, the main island of the Seychelles, a long sweep of pale sand that curves between two granite headlands on the north-west coast.
