SEYCHELLES // You may have been hiking, bouldering, caving, bushwhacking and wading with your bag over your head for almost two hours to get here, but it's not the sunscreen and sweat causing you to rub your eyes - it's disbelief. In a nation famous for its princely beaches, Anse Marron is surely king. Brilliantly white sands meet crystal-clear pools, protected from the surging surf by Dali- esque sculpted granite boulders. Schools of silver, near-translucent tropical fish dart in the shallows, so bring your snorkelling kit - though with scenery this stunning, it takes effort to look away and plunge your head underwater. The difficulty in accessing Anse Marron by foot only ensures that there are never more than a handful of people on the beach.
