If you have not brought a bigger bag during your holidays to Seychelles, then you are definitely going to regret it! Here is the list of best shopping options in the city that make travelers go crazy and splurge.
Shopping at Mahe Islands
Mahe Island is one of the major islands of the Republic of Seychelles and is home to the majority of the population. These Islands feature some of the most impressive shopping hubs that lure millions to plan holidays to Seychelles. Anse aux Pins located at the east coast of Mahe is a wonderful place to shop. The handicraft items made out of local coconut shell, coconut oil-scented bath soaps, beautiful paintings on silk and arts and crafts made by local artists at the Craft Village stay highly popular among the travelers on Seychelles holidays. Every shop in this place looks like a Creole bungalow decorated with different art forms. Never forget to use your bargaining skills as these shops usually charge very high yet offer high discounts if asked for.
Antik Colony, Campion Hall, La Kaz and Seypot Factory are other chief markets of Mahe Islands that exhibit the magnificent skills of the locals. All the artefacts displayed in these markets feature their own unique beauty yet they all flaunt the true ethnicity of Seychelles.
Shopping at Praslin Island
The tourists planning holidays for Seychelles never miss a visit to shopping centers at Praslin Island. Shopping here gives an energizing experience to everyone. There are no mega malls or international brands yet the place has its own value due to the countless number of small retail shops flaunting traditional handmade goods.
Acajou Hotel Gift Shop is one stop destination in Praslin Island that lures every shopaholic as well as food lover. This store not only features some beautiful gift shops but also has a buffet to cater both international and Creole delights to almost sixty guests at a time. The Black Pearl Shop at Black Pearl is another outstanding place to buy unique pearls, fashionable gold and diamond ornaments such as pendants, earrings, and matching rings.
Most of the hotels in Seychelles posses their own souvenir shops to make shopping convenient for their guests. Many such hotels are located in Praslin Island from where the visitors can pick anything from textiles to curios from expensive ornaments to cheap trinkets. The travelers planning to take some mementos back home must be careful about the check imposed on some of the selected export items to avoid any hassle at the airport.
