The Seychelles – those two words evoke countless images synonymous with honeymoon romance.
Think pristine white sandy beaches that stretch for miles, crystal-clear turquoise waters and huge skies.
And that’s before you venture inland to explore the tropical landscapes or discover the local markets and points of architectural interest.
With 115 islands in the archipelago it’s no wonder so many newlyweds choose to embark on an island-hopping honeymoon, landing on the isle of Mahé – the perfect jumping-off spot.
Renowned for its stunning beaches and secluded coves, you can easily while away the first few days of your honeymoon here.
Why not spend a day on a catamaran, coming ashore every so often to marvel at the giant tortoises, before exploring Cap Lazare Nature Reserve and taking in
the view of the Indian Ocean from the top of a rocky outcrop?
Then once you’ve thoroughly explored Mahé (or just taken time to chill on the beach), move on to some of the more remote outer islands including Praslin, an island so beautiful it’s been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You’ll love swimming off l’Archipel beach and finding excellent snorkelling spots or even getting to grips with the lush rainforest walks in the Vallée de Mai.
La Digue island is where you’ll discover Anse Source d’Argent, one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole archipelago, where you can relax, climb the giant boulders or take an ox cart ride around the island.
And with The Seychelles being billed as paradise on earth you can of course expect luxury accommodation – the perfect way to start married life!
