Consistently ranked among the top three beaches on Earth, Anse Lazio on Praslin Island in the Seychelles is the kind of place that makes travel writers run out of superlatives. Lush tropical forest tumbles right down to the shore, enormous smooth boulders frame the water's edge, and the sea transitions from emerald green in the shallows to deep sapphire blue further out with zero effort. It's not showing off — it's just built differently.
