Eden Island, Plaisance, Mahé, Seychelles
The Seychelles
The Seychelles has 116 islands spread over 788 square miles of the Indian Ocean, four degrees south of the equator and 950 miles north of Mauritius. Only 30 are inhabited, some are coral islands, some volcanic and many designated as natural reserves, a heady mix of raw beauty and exclusivity.
The Seychelles is a delightful combination of African, European and Asian roots with an intriguing history. The country gained independence from Great Britain in 1976 and remains part of the Commonwealth. English and French are both official languages with Creole widely spoken.
The joy of the Seychelles is the variety within the archipelago. Highlights include the island of Praslin fifteen minutes away by plane where the rare coco de mer palm grows in the World Heritage Vallée de Mai and the car-free island of La Digue, home to giant tortoises, colonial-style homes and deserted beaches. Felicite is a tiny granite island covering a little over one square mile. It is a near neighbour to La Digue and famed for its mystical, oversized granite boulders. Dense vegetation including mango trees, coconut palms and banana plantations cover much of Felicite where development has been carefully restricted to preserve the outstanding private island privacy.
Mahé
The island of Mahé is the largest and easily the most developed of all islands. It has the international airport and the world’s smallest capital, Victoria, complete with a replica of London’s Big Ben. The island is 17 miles long by 8 miles at its widest with 70 beaches Mahé is where the majority of the 90,000 population live, mostly in Victoria or on the east coast.
From the high peaks of Morne Seychellois in the northeast to the blissfully natural west coast beaches, Mahé provides activities from snorkelling, diving and jungle walks.  The quiet and wilder west coast is only thirty minutes from the airport with dense forests of coconuts and particularly beautiful beaches including Petite Anse and Grande Anse.
Eden Island
Eden Island is a reclaimed island just off the coast of Mahé in Seychelles. It is approximately 40 hectares in size with 16 hectares of private waterways connecting every owner to the ocean. Each home is freehold and comes with its own mooring and larger boats including super yachts can be accommodated in the international Eden Island Marina. It is self-contained community with facilities including four private beaches, 2 swimming pools, a clubhouse, shopping centre, supermarket, restaurants, delis, fitness centre, floodlit tennis court, a hotel and car and boat hire available.
This remarkable development has been built in accordance with unique Creole architectural style, taking inspiration from the old plantation manor houses with deep verandas and high ceilings, making the most of the azure sea and lush mountain views, as well as the year-round warm weather.
Eden Island is close to Mahé, connected by a small bridge which is securely guarded 24/7. Any staff entering the island regularly are vetted and identified.
Weather:
The islands of the Seychelles enjoy a year-round warm tropical climate, generally governed by two opposing trade winds. The south-easterly trades blow from May to September bringing drier and windier conditions ideal for sailing. From October to March the gentler north-west trades provide calmer seas but a higher chance of refreshing showers. Scuba divers will find April, May, October and November have the warmest seas and visibility is often 30 metres plus.
