New pages on these islands
The archipelago has around 115 islands. Most visitors know Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. In between and all around them lie many smaller islands that feel completely different: sometimes a granite rock with tortoises, sometimes a flat coral reef with bird colonies, sometimes a private island with just one resort. On this page we gather the island pages added most recently.
It helps to sort the islands by location and geology. The granite islands of the inner group are old and rocky. The coral islands are flat, and some lie very far from Mahé. Desroches and Alphonse are good examples.
