Morne Seychellois is the highest peak in Seychelles. Morne Seychellois is located on the island of Mahé in the Morne Seychellois National Park.

The Victoria Botanical Gardens in Seychelles was established in 1901 by Mr. Paul Evenor Rivalz Dupont. Today the Ministry of Environment is responsible for the Botanical Gardens and has its headquarters in it. 

Learn more about the Seychelles’ culture and history with a visit to the Seychelles Natural History Museum or a local art gallery. It is no surprise that the Seychelles’ remarkable natural beauty has inspired many artists on the island, and there are countless independent art studios scattered across Mahé. Keep an eye out for signs pointing to these galleries on the roadside. Or visit the nearby Michael Adams Gallery, just 2.5 km from Kempinski Seychelles Resort. Sir Michael Adams is one of the most celebrated artists in the Seychelles, and you will no doubt see his unique creations in the hotel. His studio, where he also exhibits works by his children, Alyssa and Tristan Adams, is just a 25-minute walk from the hotel.

The Seychelles Natural History Museum is located in the heart of Victoria, in Independence Avenue, and showcases some of the unique flora and fauna that call the Seychelles home. You will also gain an insight into the archipelago’s unique geology and maritime history.

Experience the spirit of the Seychelles with a tour of the Takamaka rum distillery at Le Plaine St André. The Takamaka rum distillery was built and developed by brothers Richard and Bernard d’Offay in 2002. Their vision was to provide the Seychelles islands with high-quality rum based on their grandfather’s original recipe. The distillery can be found on a historic plantation estate, which is now the home of the Seychelles’ most popular spirit. The tour will be followed by a professional tasting of the products, made from purified spring water and island-grown sugarcane.

• Distillery and Garden Tours (followed by a Rum Tasting): from EUR 16 per person*
• Monday to Friday: 11:30 and 13:30
