The Seychelles is known for postcard beaches, but not all of them are busy or built up. Some are quiet, untouched, and perfect if you’re looking to slow down and just breathe.
Anse Marie-Louise: Quiet by Nature
Located on Mahé’s southern coast, this beach often goes unnoticed by travellers. You won’t find shops or cafes here, just smooth sand and tide pools you can sit beside for hours. It’s a short drive from Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas, and it’s worth visiting if you want a peaceful spot without the usual noise.
Anse Parnel: A Calm Break by the Water
This small bay is often overlooked, which is exactly what makes it special. It’s great for early mornings or quiet evenings. If you’re staying at a beach resort in Seychelles, ask if they can arrange a visit here. The water stays shallow for a while, and the reef keeps things gentle.
Anse Capucins: A Bit of a Walk, but Worth It
You’ll need to hike a little to get here, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s not a long walk, and once you arrive, the views are open and still. There’s no one selling coconuts or renting umbrellas. Just the sound of waves and the shade of trees.
Petite Anse on La Digue: Small, but Special

This beach is tucked away behind the more famous Grand Anse, but it feels like its own world. You’ll probably meet a few other people, but it stays quiet. It’s a nice place to read, sketch, or just sit still.
