Hodoul Island, a small islet just off the coast of Mahé near Beau Vallon, is a hidden gem for history buffs and nature lovers. Named after a famous Seychellois pirate, the island features remnants of an old plantation and a cemetery, hinting at its past. Visitors arrive by private boat or guided tour to explore the ruins, relax on secluded sandy coves, and snorkel in clear waters. The island's quiet atmosphere and scenic beauty make it a perfect half-day getaway from the main island.
