You start on a coastal road where the ocean keeps pace at every bend: turquoise bays glint through casuarina trees, granite ridges rise like old bones, and the air carries salt and spice. On a private half-day around Mahé you can move at your own tempo—pulling off for a market stall in Victoria, lingering at a quiet beach, or climbing a short viewpoint for a sweep of the island.
