Mahé
Seychelles · UTC+4
The eight criteria
6 working hours shared with Western Europe.
0 with the US east coast.
Climatically workable months: April, May, October, November.
Mahé has no hand-written dossier: we measure neither its real speeds, nor its coworking spaces, nor its community on the ground. The figures above are computed — the label under each says where it comes from. What is certain: the entry right, the shared working hours and the season.
Where Mahé stands
70/100 — rank 565 of the 834 cities scored, and 59 of the 146 in Africa. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.
What carries it: Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22), Sécurité (84/100, rank 141). What holds it back: Coût de vie (36/100, rank 831), Timezone (EU+US) (50/100, rank 605).
The six closest profiles
Closeness is computed across all eight scores, not the overall one: two cities at 80 may have nothing in common — one expensive and safe, the other cheap and loud. It is the shape of the profile that matches.
Mahé, beyond the score
What the score leaves out and the city file already knows: where to sleep, where to eat, what to see after work, when to come, how to get there.
The largest island of the Seychelles and home to the capital, Victoria. Pink granite beaches, the rainforest of Morne Seychellois, a colourful Creole market and a gateway to the paradise islands.
