A secluded beach reachable only by a scenic coastal hike between craggy cliffs — one of the Indian Ocean's most beautiful hidden beaches.

Nature reserve with hundreds of free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises and limestone caves to explore.

A protected seabird sanctuary islet with powder-white sand, reachable by boat — a paradise for birdwatchers and snorkelers.

Rodrigues' small, laid-back capital, known for its Saturday market and colonial-era buildings.
