Shopping

Those who go to the Seychelles expecting large shopping avenues and centres might be disappointed. Victoria, the small capital of the Seychelles, offers a few shops that are worth exploring, while Eden Island has a small shopping centre to offer, but besides that there isn’t much on offer.

If you want to self-cater, there are plenty of small corner shops that offer essentials, as well as a few larger supermarkets (e.g. STC Hypermarket, Spar, ISBC) which have a larger selection of goods. If you want to save money, then buy local products when possible.

Fresh fruit, vegetables, and fish can be found on small stands which line the streets. If you are lucky, you might even be able to buy freshly-caught fish at the beach when the fishermen come back in the afternoon. Locals tend to shop at the Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke market in Victoria. If you are looking for souvenirs, here you can find a large selection of jewellery, spices, woodwork, and much more. The market is also a great place to meet on Saturdays to see the Seychellois go about their daily business.
