Where Creole Soul Meets Tiki Culture

Tucked inside the luxurious grounds of STORY Seychelles, Trader Vic’s brings a world-renowned dining concept to the Indian Ocean—right on the sands of Beau Vallon. This is more than just a restaurant; it’s the Seychelles outpost of a global icon, where island spirit, bold flavours, and rich Polynesian heritage come together in one unforgettable experience.

The Only Home of the Original Mai Tai®

In 1944 a legend was born. The Trader handed a drink to a friend and they exclaimed, “it’s mai tai roa ae!” (Tahitian for “out of this world-the best”) and the first Mai Tai was born.

“Let’s get the record straight on the Mai Tai”

Legend of the Original Mai Tai®

The Mai Tai wasn’t just made famous here—it was born here. Invented by Trader Vic himself in 1944, this iconic cocktail continues to define the tropical bar scene around the world. At the Seychelles venue, the drink is as essential as the view—expertly mixed and served with heritage, flair, and a healthy pour of escapism.

Where the Island Comes Alive After Dark

As night falls, Trader Vic’s flips the switch—from laid-back dining to lively island energy. Think live bands, themed parties like Hulaween, and cocktails that hit just right. With tropical décor, open-air vibes, and a steady lineup of music and events, this is where Beau Vallon goes to let loose.
