Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap. History per Wikipedia: a village of about 25 people at the west point until 1900, then a smallpox quarantine station and later the juvenile prison, whose inmates moved to Mahé in 2006. A resort was planned and partly built; moyenneisland.com (checked Oct 2026) reports the government chose a new developer in 2024. Treat as closed to visitors.
