No. 6 | Anse Lazio, Praslin Island, Seychelles

“Picture perfect in every way. Gorgeous beach and the bluest water ever!”

Anse Lazio, on the northwest tip of the Praslin island, is picture-postcard everywhere you look. Even so it is a regular on all top beach lists, it ain´t crowded as it has no hotels and requires a 30 minute walk in the sun. The beach is framed by a series of granite boulders at each end. Pale sand,  lapis lazuli waters on one side and a thick fringe of palm and takamaka trees on the other, makes it a perfect place for sunbathing. There is some good snorkelling among the rocks along the arms of the bay.
