Mayotte - Travel tips

Mayotte is an archipelago kissed by the waters of the Indian Ocean and belonging to the French overseas territories. It is formed by two main islands, Grande Terre and Petite Terre, which together cover 376 km². It's incredible that such a small piece of world includes everything you need to live your unforgettable vacation!

Indeed, the archipelago offers stunning sandy beaches coloured by majestic green palms that offer a shelter from the warm sun, and a crystal-clear sea, where snorkelling and scuba diving lovers will find their paradise. In fact, these islets are surrounded by a gorgeous coral reef, which is home to colourful fish species, while offshore it is possible to admire lovely dolphins and, especially from July to October, whale and sperm whale. On the other hand, the inland also hosts wonderful, rare, and particular animals, such as lemurs and several bird species.

Anyway, Mayotte is not only the right place for relaxing and admiring the natural wonders, since it has much more to offer, such as the solid culture that characterizes local people. The towns still preserve some architectural examples belonging to the colonial period and interesting museums, but also typical handicraft districts and traditional villages.
