Seychelles Honeymoon

The most important thing newlyweds seek from their honeymoon is romance and unforgettable moments. Some spend their vacation in mountains, others prefer tandem skydiving but most wish to relax peacefully far from civilization surrounded by picturesque nature.

The perfect place to consider is the Seychelles Islands. Natural surroundings with warm and crystal-clear ocean waters, white sandy beaches, tropical forests and bright sun all year round. There can be no better place that is still wild and deserted for the perfect romance.

Seychelles nature and climate

A temperate mild climate all year around allows the option to honeymoon at any time be it winter or summer.

Seychelles has more than 70 unique plant species including the famous Coco de Mer palm, the symbol of the Island. It is surrounded by legends and myths, one saying that it came from the Garden of Eden with distinguished male and female plants. And it's quite easy to believe it when walking under the thick palms in tropical gardens. The biggest part of the local fauna is the unique 275 bird species, registered in 2017 by Seychelles Bird Records. The most interesting are endemic: Black Parrot, Seychelles Magpie-robin, Seychelles Kestrel, Seychelles Blue pigeon, Aldabra Drongo and many others.

Giant tortoises that are another local treasure live abundantly in Seychelles Protected Parks with a few visible from within the resorts grounds. Most of them are over a hundred years old.

You can see many flying foxes (fruit bats) at dust covering the sky just before the sunset.

The good news is there is no poisonous animals, snakes or insects on the entire archipelago.

Mahe Island: heaven for newlyweds

Mahe is the largest of 115 islands in the Seychelles archipelago. Possibly the first thing that attracts couples will be Beau Vallon beach that is surrounded by thick fresh greenery. It ends with picturesque cliffs and a bay that is perfect for diving and snorkeling or just relax sitting on the beach sand and sipping a unique tropical cocktail.

At sunset romantic dinners decorated with candles where couples can enjoy champagne and canapes served at special areas on the beach. Even a photographer is available to capture the moment. Beau Vallon has many places for entertainment including bars, restaurants with chic menus, diving and spa centers.

Seychelles capital – Victoria – is just 3 kilometers away from the beach. Though it’s quite small, it is rich with tourist attractions and places of interest. The main attraction is the Clock Tower that is a replica of Big Ben in London. People believe that if you take a photo near it and make a wish, it is sure to come true.

Local cuisine: meals to taste
