An oasis for rare marine life including the giant tortoise
Experience the archetypal tropical paradise with remote beaches, cobalt blue water and plenty of sunshine when you try a Seychelles honeymoon
One of the best ways to enjoy the Seychelles on your honeymoon is with a spot of island hopping. The two main islands of Mahe and Praslin are a great place to start, with Mahe offering larger resorts with a bit more activity, while Praslin provides hidden coves ideal for a more tranquil getaway. Meanwhile, many of the outer islands can give you that true castaway feeling with their Robinson Crusoe-esque charm.
A trip to these exotic islands would not be complete without a dive (or snorkel!) under the waves. The coral reefs around Denis and North Islands make for spectacular marine life viewing, while the lodges offer true barefoot luxury.
The honeymoon of a lifetime awaits in the Seychelles, with luxury island lodges, sumptuous cuisine and fascinating people and culture.
You can always make your honeymoon even more special by adding an African safari!!
I have visited the Seychelles several times and explored many of its islands. I’d love to help plan your trip.

Our Seychelles honeymoons expert, Ruth, says:
“I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Seychelles a few times with my partner, and even though we weren’t on honeymoon, it always felt incredibly romantic. Each island has its own charm – from granite boulders and hidden coves to barefoot beachside dinners – and it’s that mix of natural beauty and intimacy that makes the Seychelles such a special choice for newlyweds.”
