What you can expect

  • Step into the fragrant world of candle making at The Candle Bar Su — a cosy tropical oasis in the heart of Paramaribo, where creativity meets relaxation.

    This hands-on workshop invites you to slow down and indulge in a unique sensory experience. Upon arrival at our charming studio, located at Van Roseveltkade #36 (inside Teasee), you'll be warmly welcomed with a refreshing iced tea or herbal infusion of your choice. The scent of essential oils and tropical blooms instantly sets the tone for a memorable and relaxing activity.

    The experience begins with a short introduction to the art of candle making. Our friendly host will guide you through the basics — from choosing your fragrance to understanding the wax, wick, and pouring process. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who simply loves DIY crafts, you’ll feel right at home.

    Next, you’ll select your fragrance blend from a curated menu inspired by local botanicals, tropical fruits, and calming wellness scents. You’ll then personalise your candle using natural wax, dried flowers, and eco-friendly materials. While your candle sets, you’ll have the opportunity to journal your affirmations, chat with others, or simply unwind in our cosy, plant-filled space.

    This experience is the perfect way to start or end your holiday in Suriname. Whether you want a calm, mindful beginning to your trip or a sweet send-off, your custom-made candle becomes a meaningful souvenir — a scented memory of your time in the Paramaribo.
