(Seychelles News Agency) - Surf, sun, sand are all great during the day, but where to go in Seychelles after watching the sunset's glow fall below the ocean horizon? On weekdays, the nightlife in Seychelles is mostly limited to restaurants and bars. Come Saturday, though, and the options -- namely the nightclubs -- open up.

Admissions into nightclubs, bars and casinos are strictly for the 18 and up crowd. In the first of a three-part series, SNA takes a look at the nightclubs located on Mahe, which operate from late night to early morning.

Located by the beach, the establishment has a traditional and tropical décor. One can enjoy the fresh ocean breeze while rocking the dance floor. DJs bring the latest hits with a mix of popular ‘oldies but goodies’.
