Culture and history

Seychelles culture is Creole, at the junction of African, French and British traditions, with warm island hospitality and leisurely "island time."

The languages of everyday communication are Seychelles Creole, French and English; religious holidays and family events set the rhythm for the seasons.

The annual Festival Kreol emphasizes music, dance (including moutya) and cuisine, which is reflected in entertainment programs at hotels and casinos.

Establishments are usually compact, tourist oriented, adhere to neat communication and responsible play standards; dress code is smart casual, respect for the environment and local customs is the norm.

In visual identity, motifs of the ocean, granite shores and coco de mer are often found, and evening leisure combines live music, a bar and light game formats.
