Frégate lies about 55 kilometres east of Mahé and is one of the granitic islands. At a little over two square kilometres it is small, yet it has seven beaches. The best known is Anse Victorin on the north coast, which has repeatedly been named the best beach in the world in rankings. To the east of it come Anse Macquereau and Anse Bambous, while in the south-east there are small bays such as Anse Parc and Anse Coup de Poing. Depending on the source, Grand'Anse, Anse Felix and Anse La Cour are also listed.
The beaches are not open to the public. Frégate is a private island, and the beaches belong to the resort. Day visits are not offered. You get there by helicopter from Mahé in about 15 to 20 minutes, or by boat in around 90 minutes. If you want to land with your own boat, older information says you need proof that the boat is free of rats, because the island is considered pest-free and nature conservation takes priority there.
