Chalets Anse Forbans

In the 6th July 2010 Newsletter from Lonely Planet called the Best of the Lonely Planet they explained the ways best ways to stretch your holiday money and one of the points they raised was staying self catering when on holiday to quote exact "Another no-brainer is self-catering: the ideal way to immerse yourself in a place while saving money. You can sample local ingredients, enter the fray at the market, and try your hand at local dishes"
This lead to me to think mm a New Blog Post: Where do I get the ingredients ...Shopping and Supermarkets in Seychelles HELP
Fear not when you decide to book your Seychelles accommodation at Chalets d' Anse Forbans. Yes we are self catering beach bungalows on the beach ...
Our closest shop is a small village shop called Deasubin shop where you would be able to buy some beers and soft drinks as well as water. It is a typical Seychelles Shop and has some odd hours at times but it is a mere 500 metres from the Bungalows. Do ask at the reception for the opening times.
Approximately 1.3km away from the Chalets Anse Forbans or about 10 minute drive you have the well stocked Seychelles Styled Supermarket called Sekaar- located in the small town of Quatre Borne. You will find - cheeses, drinks, meat, veg, pasta, baby food, nappies etc here. This supermarket does accept credit cards and if they are not too busy will help you carry your groceries to the car.It closes at lunch time from 13h30 until 14h30 but is then open until 20h00. If you have not hired a car from Pirates Car Hire not to worry as there are frequent buses to Quatre Borne from Anse Forbans.
Another one of the well stocked Supermarket in Seychelles on Mahe is called Docklands located close to the Seychelles Port they have their own bakery and butchery and have a different selection available. A mixture of imported goods from Europe and South Africa.
To get fresh fish around the Anse Forbans area you have to be awake early and the fish is usually on sale on the beach from 07h30 until 08h00 otherwise the next option would be in Anse Royale area- opposite the Petrol Station- again try to get there early- again this is on the bus route and about 5km away from Chalets Anse Forbans.
The Fish Factory in Victoria called Oceana Fisheries is where alot our guests would buy fish frozen to bring back to the Anse Forbans for BBQs etc.. it is pre- cleaned and filleted as well so this makes for a lot less mess!!
Fresh Veg and Fruit- we would have alot of local stalls again on the roadside so watch out the best would be in Anse Royale close to the Seychelles community centre and opposite the Cable and Wireless offices or else you can try on the route to Police Bay just past Anse Intendance. At Chalets d' Anse Forbans we are also working on our own Vegetable garden so do enquire more information with us.
You may also want to try Lai Lam bakery in Victoria close to the Victoria Sir Selwyns Market in Market Street for fresh rolls and bread- always busy but worth the wait. At the market you will also find vegetables and fruit and an assortment of fish.
If you are shopping for some Spices then you can visit the Sir Selwyns market in Market street or else Jardin du Roi is now producing their own spices and they are located in Anse Royale and a highly recommended spot to visit.
If you are ever in doubt feel free to ask for advice from us at Chalets Anse Forbans.
Chalets d' Anse Forbans offers Seychelles self catering beach apartments for rent.
