In the tranquil embrace of Mahé's west lies Anse l’Amour, a beach often eclipsed by the famed allure of Port Launay. This secluded bay, however, beckons with the promise of coral-protected shores, an abundance of shady retreats, and a respite from island bustle—a paradise sought by couples desiring intimacy. Reaching this sanctuary requires a bit of an adventurous spirit. While a winding, narrow road hints at the way, it's a path more suited for those afoot than vehicles. Yet those who venture forth are rewarded manifold—with shimmering sands, verdant backdrops, and the serene visage of the nearby Conception Island and Port Launay North Beach. Protected by a coral reef, the waters offer an oasis for swimmers and snorkellers, their shallowness only deepening the allure. In essence, Anse l’Amour is a treasure trove for those who know where to look. Although its journey might challenge, its rewards—of solitude and scenic beauty—are unparalleled. And with Port Launay but a stone's throw away, it remains accessible to all who seek its charm. |.

Tiny, hidden bay in Mahé's west, approximately 300m from Port Launay. Boasts scenic views of surrounding islands and rock structures. Shade is ample, ensuring sun protection. Timing is key as the beach can vanish during high tides. The leading road to the beach is quite tight, making car access challenging.
