Amid numerous ghost stories and tales of fabulous buried treasure, Anonyme plays a colorful role in the folklore of the islands that belies its small size.

Once owned by the St Jorre family who were among Seychelles' earliest settlers, Anonyme was destined to play an important role in the construction of the international airport on Mahé, becoming the chosen location for the storage of the explosives needed to accomplish the task.

Today, the island's main industry is tourism, and it is known for its beaches, especially Anse pimen vert, on the east coast where there is a small restaurant.

Anonyme island is a privately owned resort with seven chalets [2] The main means of transportation is bicycles.

Anonyme boasts more than its fair share of bird life,[tone] and fruit bats are also to be found along with a number of giant land tortoises.
