Vacoa Weaving Workshop

Discover one of Mauritius’ oldest living crafts through the art of vacoa weaving. This hands-on workshop introduces you to a tradition rooted in daily island life, where utility and beauty meet.

Vacoa leaves from the Pandanus utilis plant were once used for shelter, storage, and survival. Today, they continue to carry the stories of the island and the people who shaped it. In this workshop, you will follow the journey of the leaf from plant to finished object, guided by artisans who have preserved this knowledge for generations.
