What to expect
Victoria Market
Built in 1840 and later renovated in 1999, Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market more commonly known as Victoria Market is a great example of blending the old and new Seychellois way of life. It’s always been great place to buy local fruit, vegetables, spices and fish.
The Domaine de Val des Près which is located at St Roch Au Cap, 16 km from Victoria is an experiment in re-creating the Traditional Creole Village as a mean of promoting the Seychellois Cultural Heritage, depicting the various activities that may be found in a traditional estate.
Takamaka Rum Distillery
La Plaine St. André is more than a distillery! It’s an iconic heritage site that is home to our very own museum, a medicinal garden, historical ruins and of course, our two Giant Aldabra tortoises – Taka and Maka. Join one of our guided or self-guided tours, and stay for a drink and a bite from our Rum Shack and food truck.
The 65 hectare enchanted hideaway and nature reserve known as ‘Cap Lazare’ is perfectly located in the south of Mahe. It is a private and protected property with its own colony of tortoises and numerous land and marine fauna. ‘Cap Lazare’ caters to all sorts of private functions such as weddings and parties as well as groups and incentive events. Guests can have the chance to observe hawksbill turtles as they lay their eggs during the nesting season.
