Tourism shapes life in the Seychelles, providing opportunities for different activities across all moments. Some of the outstanding engagements you can have may include a cocktail sip, a nice time in the cinemas, or a good dance at night.
The capital city of the Island is Victoria which portrays a fantastic look of it with the five star hotels far away in beaches. The culture is diverse comprising French and British colonial influence, with Chinese, Indian and African as well. Victoria market has brightly painted boutique units that sell clothes, jewellery and mementos. Locally crafted items like Coconut derived products, hand-dyed pareos and silk paintings can be found but majority of souvenirs are plastic tat from China bearing a Seychelles sticker.
Art enjoys a fair presentation as well in this country and Revolution Ave at the Kaz Zanana 'the pineapple house' will be the ultimate place to shop. This is a wooden gallery offering art pieces that depict the daily flow of life. They include silk painting, watercolor images and collages. Fiennes Esplanade avenue is located slightly out of the main city centre and here is home souvenir stalls and dodgy sales-folk. For the visitors who would like to experience less expensive shopping, then this may proof to be a good choice. Local craftsmen have been considered by the government which has set up Camion Hall on Albert St to promote them. Many items here are more expensive but again some boutiques are only available here.
The most suitable restaurants for top class meals are found in the beach hotels where the environment and food is perfect for the visitors who are looking forward to derive pleasure in enjoying a meal.In tests, nothing matches a marinated red snapper or grilled jackfish. Seychelles cuisine is dominated by fish and rice. In the center of the capital, like everything else, meals are expensive with Pirates Arms on Independence Ave being the most popular place, boasting of huge, busy rooms equipped with screens mostly dedicated to satellite music channels. They have fantastic sandwiches at about 6.Rendezvous, is a wooden jungle restaurant overlooking the Clock Tower. Its main courses start from extensive 12; cocktails are brought large plastic cacti. The restaurant is nicely located and structured, open air-allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Victoria.
Another better bet for eating is Beau Vallon, a ten minute journey by bus from the city. Boathouse, specializes in Creole buffet which costs from 17 for two courses, drinks, and the Italian Al Mare.
The National Fishing Competition is held every year in April at the Beau Vallon Regatta and this will give you a peek at cultural events. Swimming/tug of war contests and yacht racing are performed in August-September. The Regatta in La Digue takes place in September too with October's with Creole Festival next in Ocyober. In November, Environmental dignity is given attention during the Subois, which also doubles as a celebration of the Seychelles' underwater World.
Most tourists go to this island specifically for their honeymoons and most of them will rarely get to the many bars, casinos or discos that are always lively. Mainstream hotels do a good job of making sure their guests are kept entertained.
Pirates Arms provides an ample place for drinking especially at sun set. It has lovely service with many slot machines and is a popular meeting place.
Though only a few hotels serve beyond midnight, live shows are common in most of the larger hotels ranging from bands to cultural festivals. Guests will from time to time be given a chance to participate in such shows towards the end of the performance.
Gaming houses are most sensational, perhaps the best that Seychelles has to offer.They from routine assortment of slot machines, to three fully established casinos.
There are no competing cinemas in the city as the Deepam, in Albert Street, Victoria is the only Cinema in the City,a wonder!. Movies run the scope from Hollywood blockbusters to Bollywood favorites, French and Chinese titles, in an attempt to have the eager and wide audience entertained. Hotel DVD libraries are also a good option to consider.
A romantic dinner on the beach or a specially-hotel-staged scrub and massage therapy before retiring to the beauty of love is a perfect way to end a day in style. This is assured in Seychelles and your visit will bear all the beautiful experience.
