The former facility is to be demolished and completely rebuilt.

NYS Campus – Youth Village
Location: Mahé - Cap Ternay
past the Ephelia Hotel to the very end of the very narrow coastal road, you can park your car in front of the main entrance to the NYS. (By foot from Port Launay a long way with great views).
The former youth village of National Youth Service (NYS). Originally, a hotel was planned there with construction starting in 2008. Fortunately, nothing can be seen of it today except for the abandoned buildings of the Youth Village.

Police Bay - Prison
Location: Mahé - Petite Police Bay
Follow the small paved road from Petite Police Bay (the sandy road directly behind Petite Police Bay leads to Grand Police Bay after about 10 minutes), after about 5 minutes there is an unpaved turn-off on the right, follow this for another 2-3 minutes and you will come to the former "Police Bay Prison" which is now mostly overgrown.
Venns Town / Mission Lodge
Location: Mahé - Sans Souci Road
Boarding school for children of freed slaves opened around 1876. Among other things, there were vanilla and patchouli plantations here.
Now you walk through a former blood tree avenue, past a few ruins that are still barely recognisable, to a great view point with a view over the west coast.
Entrance fee: 100 Scr per person
Bel Air Cemetry
Location: Bel Air (Victoria)
One of the oldest historic sites on Mahe. The cemetery was opened at the end of the 18th century. In 1862 it was buried by a landslide and some of the graves have only recently been uncovered. The monument at the entrance of the cemetery is supposed to indicate the size of the "giant" who, at only 14 years old, was allegedly killed (poisoned) out of fear by the neighbours and buried there.
Shangri-La Resort
Location: Long Island / St Anne Marinepark
This hotel complex on Long Island in St. Anne Marine Park was unfortunately never completely finished. Construction began in 2005 and should have been completed in 2008. The opening was then postponed again until 2011.
It should have been the first hotel with a cable car to take guests to the spa area and the wedding chapel at the highest point of the island.
Until now the project remains unfinished and nature is taking it back.
If you are interested, there is a video about that project: Shangri-La Video (c) Fazakas Építésziroda
New Emerald Cove Hotel
Location: Praslin - Anse la Farine
Former 4 star hotel on an almost deserted beach. Unfortunately no longer open since 2017/2018. When it became known that the hotel was closed, some people came to get spare parts, such as mattresses, doors, locks, etc. Everything that was not nailed down.
The easiest way to visit this overgrown hotel complex is by boat trip. There is also a very overgrown trail from Anse La Blague. -> Anse La Farine Trail
