What does it take to be known as one of the best beaches in the world? Maybe it starts with the postcard perfect palms leaning over, thin fronds reaching for the sand like fingers. It could be the low hanging branches of tacamahac heavy with white blossoms and fleshy fruit. Past sand that tickles your feet and warms your soles, spreads the ocean that dazzles in the brightest hues of blue. Curling white foam gives way to reefs and water so clear that each scale on the trevallies and wrasses glimmer. You might imagine walking out to mammoth structures in red granite flowing into shapes that resemble faces and animals if you let your imagination wander even further. The cherry on top of the cake would probably be a sunset that melts your heart, the vanishing rays of sunlight teasing you with illusions and mirages across the sea tinted orange.

All these reasons put together is likely why Anse Lazio is so famous. This bay found on Praslin island is found within the Seychelles archipelago. With beauty that tugs at your senses and surpasses your wildest imagination, it’s no wonder the bay is so greatly sought after.
