Le Jardin du Roi Spice Garden
Anse Royale, Mahé
The Basics
Privately owned Le Jardin du Roi Spice Garden is an 86-acre (35-hectare) haven of rare and fragrant fauna, which you can explore at your own pace. Embark on self-guided nature walks, searching for and identifying specific plants independently, using the map and plant list provided. Then, have lunch at the onsite restaurant and enjoy privileged views over the island. With so much to see and do, save time and buy your admission tickets in advance.

Expect to spend up to three hours exploring Le Jardin du Roi Spice Garden.

How to Get There
La Jardin du Roi Spice Garden sits above Anse Royale at the end of a steep and narrow road. Most visitors find it easiest to arrive by car, and there is on-site parking. However, adventurous travelers can tackle the roughly 1.3-mile (2-kilometer) uphill walk themselves.

Beach lovers in particular have ample options for sunbathing and swimming—those pressed for time head to the nearby Anse Royale beach. Meanwhile, tea aficionados won’t want to miss the opportunity to tour the Tea Factory.
