Beau Vallon, on the northwest coast of Mahé, is one of the Seychelles' most popular beaches — a long stretch of sand facing calm, sheltered water, with a good spread of restaurants and dive operators nearby. The Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel sits directly on this beach, and Quintrip's Coral Strand package is built around exactly that location: five nights, breakfast and dinner included, with return flights bundled in.

Beau Vallon Beach

Beau Vallon is regarded as one of the best swimming beaches on Mahé, thanks to its sheltered position and generally calm water compared to more exposed stretches of coast elsewhere on the island. It's also one of the more developed beach areas on Mahé, with a reasonable choice of restaurants and beach bars within walking distance, along with dive centres offering trips out to the reefs around Mahé and further afield.

The beach itself is broad and sandy, backed by a coastal road rather than dense development, which keeps it feeling open even with more visitor traffic than some of Mahé's quieter coves.

The Coral Strand Package

Quintrip's Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel package runs five nights on a breakfast-and-dinner basis, with return flights included in the package price, from roughly R25,110 per person sharing. The hotel carries a four-star rating and sits directly on Beau Vallon Beach, making it a straightforward, beach-first option for travellers who want to be within walking distance of the sand rather than needing a shuttle to reach it.

Breakfast-and-dinner packages like this one leave lunch flexible — useful for travellers who want to try one of Beau Vallon's beachfront restaurants at midday without being locked into a single dining venue for every meal.

Diving and Water Activities Nearby

Beau Vallon is one of the main dive bases on Mahé, with several operators running trips out to nearby reef sites and, further afield, toward Saint Anne Marine National Park. For travellers who want to add diving or snorkelling to a Coral Strand stay, arranging this locally through the hotel or a nearby dive centre is straightforward, though it's worth flagging to a Quintrip consultant in advance if it needs to be built into the itinerary.

Planning the Trip

The Seychelles sits close to the equator and stays warm year-round, though the period from May to September brings the southeast trade winds, which can create choppier conditions at more exposed beaches — Beau Vallon's sheltered position makes it a reasonably comfortable choice even during this window. October to April tends to bring calmer seas, generally the more comfortable period for swimming and diving.

A Quintrip consultant can confirm current seasonal pricing on the Coral Strand package and advise on adding excursions like inter-island ferries to Praslin or La Digue as part of a longer Seychelles stay.
