Create your dream holiday with us in Anse Royale…
ANSE ROYALE
The town of Anse Royale (Royal Bay in English) is the site of one of the earliest settlements in Seychelles dating back to 1771, when a royal spice garden was established near to the bay by French settlers from Mauritius. Located on the southeastern coast of Mahe, between the districts of Au Cap and Takamaka, Anse Royale’s beautiful coastline features a long stretch of white sands over Anse Royale main beach, and the stunning granite rock formations of Fairyland bay.
At the site of the original royal spice garden is Le Jardin Du Roi or the King’s Garden with its wonderful views down across the bay and the Ocean. The garden grows the same spices as were introduced in 1771 nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon and clove trees, as well as many other spices and flowers introduced later.
Anse Royale is considered the second town on the island after Victoria with its many services and features such as the Anse Royale Hospital, the University, shops and restaurants.
