    Our Sunset Beach
    by Saagar
    When the sun sets bring towels, beach gear, picnic bag and a lamp. Your airport dutyfree chablis or perhaps chardonnay comes in handy now. Cooled from your hotel's minibar.
    Watch the sun go under from the beach with the smells and rustling of the Takamaka trees behind you.
    Go into the water with the sun and wash the daylight away...

    The more civilised version of this is La Mare restaurant on Beau Vallon (see my restaurant tip).

    Fairly optional, depending on the company and situation and popularity of the chosen beach...

    Katiolo Nightclub: The Best Nightclub, Seychelles
  • Tip Rating:
  • Updated By SusanneMeiers on October 28, 2008
  • Seychelles Page by SusanneMeiers
  • Seychelles is Paradise and the place to be to get away, relax and enjoy the nature....but for the younger generation like ourselves, we started to get a little bored at night....We asked the hotel management and the locals about the night life, and everyone recommended Katiolo Nightclub. It was worth it. Located in the main tourist area in the north. Open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays ( we went to all three nights that week) this club with open air tropical decor, while very small compared to international standard, was perfect for Seychelles.
    The music was excellent, a mixture of international current top hits and local music. If you want to have a good time, this is the place to be. It can get quite full especially on Wednesdays, as it is popular to both locals and tourists alike. Entrance is only SR 100 ( approx USD 10) . Ladies Free on Wednesdays and Saturdays. One of the best nights out since we've been on holiday.

    If you want a good night out, this is the place to go.

    Overall, a very good holiday....and a very good time....while Seychelles is not Ibiza or Majorca....there is still something for those who want to have a good time.

    No Shorts or Sneakers. Smart dress.

    Well.....most of our nightlife was spent on the balcony of our hotel watching the crabs run from the waves...so though I am sure there IS nightlife somewhere...we were simply to exhausted from laying on the beach to find it.
    For me, what is unique about the Seychelles besides its uncanny beauty is its location...you really can get away from it all....so though there are definitely a few places you could go out, if you are with the right person, maybe you won't want to...?

  • Most of the hotels provide nightly entertainment. Displays of the sega, a traditional cultural dance is a popular form of the entertainment provided. Beware though, you'll be dragged onto the dance floor and persuaded to join in and have a go!
    The Beau Vallon Bay Hotel has a casino for those who like to partake in a spot of gambling.
    Our favourite night spot was an open air disco popular with the locals where we had a wonderful time.
    Although the hotels offer good entertainment we felt happiest in a wooden shack in what seemed like the middle of a jungle (well, it was dark and it felt like the middle of the jungle!) dancing to the beat of the local reggae band. Venture out and explore, you never know what you'll find.

    Dress code....whatever you're comfortable in. It was a relaxed and friendly place.

  • I was only there, Mahe', for 3 days so I didn't get a chance to see ALL the night life. There are some small disco's in each of the hotels. I also spent some time in the casino at Barborons. Very nice dealers and a nice drive if you're staying on the other end.
    If neither of those activities are your thing then just throwing a towel down on the beach and eyeing a gadzillion stars is fun too (don't mind those huge flying dogs...err fruit bats).

    Good live shows; creole-inspired music and dancing

  • Too often we get comfortable in the hotel we are staying at and do not venture out to the hotels in the vicinity to see what is on offer. You will be welcomed warmly as you venture out to see what live music is on offer at the different hotels.

    A favourite friday evening pastime for me is to have a sundowner at Coral Strand and enjoy live music from 8pm. From there we head to the Fisherman's Cove, at about 9pm their live entertainment begins at the bar. This is the coolest place to be, get comfortable on their couches, order an 11 Euro cocktail and enjoy the most amazing live entertainment. After that it's off to party with the locals. At the Berjaya Beau Vallon there is a disco with live band every Friday evening, this is a favourite with the locals.

    As it turns out...
  • Updated By ChrisAmirault on November 9, 2002

  • ...we didn't go to a single night club, concert, or movie at night. Nothing. In part because of the time change and in part because of our lack of interest, we really had no desire. Most nights we hit the beach to watch the sunset -- and the massive, beautiful fruit bats flying out to start their evenings -- and then went to bed to read.

    Having said that, we saw no evidence that there was anything resembling a club scene. There certainly are a number of resorts offering non-ironic lounge lizardry, "authentic" creole music (a doubtful claim given all we had read about Seychellois culture), and gambling. But however campy, the covers and expensive drinks would make it hard for us to justify the limited value.

    Final note: if you're going out, keep in mind that the buses don't run late at night, so unless you have an expensive rental car and want to drive the unlit, thin roads, you'll need to hire an expensive cab.

  • There is NO night life on La Digue. My tip for some action: get to know some locals and have parties/BBQ's with them!

    Or take a boat and go to another island - there are the normal clubs...
