Why The Seychelles is a Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Why The Seychelles is a Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Seychelles is at the top of the perfect honeymoon destinations world list. Sugar-sand beaches, crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean and amazing resorts make it one of the most romantic places in the world and the fondest dream of every just married couple.

Why is Seychelles a perfect honeymoon destination?

No, this time the brochures do not sell nonsense. On Seychelles, the beaches are truly pearly white, the sea is really azure blue, the flora and fauna are really unique. Seychelles is an untouched paradise: more than a hundred islands form the archipelago on the African east coast, but fewer than a third are inhabited.

But Seychelles offers more than the ultimate luxury beach vacation. The natural treasures of Seychelles have been neatly preserved. Almost half of the islands have been declared a protected nature area. The granite islands around the main island of Mahé, the "Inner Islands", and the coral islands, the "Outer Islands" that extend almost to the East African coast, contain unique tropical flora and native fauna.

The underwater world of the Indian Ocean amazes with a colorful collection of reef fish, crustaceans and sea turtles swimming in the clear Indian Ocean water.

The constant and pleasant climate, the friendly multicultural population, the impressive granite rocks, an excellent hotel selection, and the tropical green forests make Seychelles a true paradise.

What to do on a Seychelles honeymoon?

People go to Seychelles to enjoy the sun, sea, beach and nature. You will find here rainforests, tropical gardens, National Parks and rocks. There is also plenty of activities and entertainments of any kind. For example, during your honeymoon, you can go swimming with turtles, go snorkeling, rent a sailing yacht or go hiking in the interior of the islands. Enjoying the beautiful sunsets should not be missed either.

Lounge on the beach

The beaches of Seychelles are breathtakingly beautiful and unique in the world. Of the 115 islands, 41 are made of granite, the remaining 74 are made of coral. The pristine beaches of Seychelles feature in all the top lists of most beautiful beaches in the world. This is especially true for these beaches:

  • Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue island was repeatedly named the most beautiful beach in the world and is also the most photographed beach in the world. It often pops up as a backdrop in films, photoshoots and commercials such as for Bacardi and Bounty.
  • At Anse Lazio on Praslin, a beautiful bay with a wide beach, you can see the most turquoise water. The palm trees along it cast their shadow on the fine white sandy beaches.
  • And, of course, the famous Beau Vallon beach, which is located in the northern part of Mahe Island. Beau Vallon is a wide strip of white sand over 3 km long, equipped to the highest standards.

Go on a hike

There are several hiking trails on the Seychelles where you can enjoy the unspoiled nature, fantastic view of the island and sometimes even the nearby islands in the hilly terrain. Be sure to visit the nature reserve of the legendary Vallée de Mai on Praslin, long-time identified with the biblical Garden of Eden. It is a unique example of wilderness untouched by humanity, and plays host to a plethora of native creatures.

Diving and snorkeling

For those who love the underwater world, Seychelles is a true paradise. The water is pleasantly warm and crystal clear. You'll find beautiful dive spots at the granite rocks and reefs with rays, turtles, and squid as well as at the coral reefs with schools of tropical coral fish. At the inner islands, you will find different sites with shipwrecks, nice to dive to.

Enjoy delicious food

The local cuisine of Seychelles with Creole, Indian, Chinese and European influences is entirely unique and delicious. Fresh vegetables, fish, seafood and savoury spices are combined by the local chiefs to the culinary masterpieces. And of course it`s hard to imagine tropical holidays without fresh fruits! Papaya, passion fruit, coconut, mango and pineapple – these and many others fruits will help you to gear up and refresh in hot weather.
