Eden Island, Seychelles, Artificial island near Victoria, Seychelles.
Eden Island is an artificial island near Victoria that was created by transforming a coral reef into a developed residential area. The island has a marina, a shopping plaza with shops and restaurants, and waterfront apartments and villas.
The island was created in 2006 through an ambitious development project funded from Dubai. This transformation added a new residential community to Seychelles' coastline.
Residents from Creole, French, East African, and Indian backgrounds live together in waterfront homes, creating a diverse community. This mix shapes daily social life on the island.
The area is easy to walk around with clear paths connecting the shops, restaurants, and residential zones. Visitors can find everything they might need in one place, from groceries to services.
Each home on the island comes with a private mooring, letting owners access the Indian Ocean directly from their property. This direct connection to the water is one of the most striking features of the place.
