A honeymoon that feels far away from everything
Our trip to Seychelles was not technically a honeymoon.
It was, however, our last big honeymoon-like holiday before we had children, and Seychelles had been a dream destination for us for years.
With white beaches, those giant granite boulders, little islands and quite a few hotels designed for couples who would rather not leave their private pool, it certainly felt like one.
A Seychelles honeymoon can be as relaxed or active as you want.
You can spend a week inside one luxurious resort, hop between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, or combine simple guesthouses with one properly extravagant stay.
In this Seychelles honeymoon guide, we share how to choose the right islands, our favourite romantic experiences, the best honeymoon hotels in Seychelles, realistic itinerary ideas and ways to keep the cost from drifting completely out to sea.
Where to stay on your Seychelles honeymoon:
- Romantic boutique stay: Le Repaire Boutique Hotel – A small beachfront hotel on laid-back La Digue, where we stayed.
- Luxury: Constance Lemuria – An excellent Praslin base with access to Anse Georgette.
- Private-pool villa: Four Seasons Resort Seychelles – Hillside villas above Petite Anse on Mahé.
- Ultra-luxury: Six Senses Zil Pasyon – Private-island extravagance on Félicité with pool villas, dramatic granite scenery and a strong focus on wellness and romance.

Is Seychelles a good honeymoon destination?
Yes, Seychelles is a fantastic honeymoon destination, especially if you want beautiful beaches without spending every day in exactly the same sun lounger.
The three most-visited islands have quite different personalities.
- Mahé offers the largest choice of resorts, restaurants and hiking trails.
- Praslin pairs exceptional beaches with easy access to nature and boat trips.
- La Digue slows everything down to bicycles, sandy roads and the difficult daily decision of which beach to visit.
That variety makes a Seychelles island-hopping honeymoon feel like several holidays in one, while the short distances between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue keep the logistics manageable.
You do need a healthy budget, though. Accommodation, ferries, restaurant meals and private transfers add up, and changing islands too often costs both money and useful beach time.
Still, you do not need to book a private-island villa for every night.
Some of our most romantic memories were sunsets on public beaches, cycling around La Digue and seeing giant tortoises on Curieuse Island.
Which Seychelles islands are best for a honeymoon?
Which islands are best for a honeymoon in Seychelles depends on whether you prioritise resort luxury, activities, beaches or switching off almost completely.
Here is a breakdown of the most popular choices.
Mahé – Best for resort choice, hiking and an easy arrival
Every international trip begins on Mahé, and it makes sense to spend at least a night here before your flight home.
The island has the broadest range of luxury honeymoon hotels in Seychelles, from Beau Vallon’s large resorts to secluded pool villas in the south.
Mahé also works well for active couples.
You can, for example, hike the Copolia Trail, visit Victoria, drive between beaches and stop at Takamaka Rum Distillery.
The island is larger and busier than Praslin or La Digue.
If you choose a remote resort, either plan to spend plenty of time at the hotel or hire a car so the location does not become limiting.

Praslin – Best for beaches, nature and refined resorts
Praslin is probably the strongest all-round honeymoon island.
Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette are two of the finest beaches we have ever visited.
Vallée de Mai gives you a chance to see the legendary Coco de Mer palm in its natural setting, while a boat trip to Curieuse Island brings you close to free-roaming giant tortoises.
Praslin generally has more polished traditional resorts than La Digue.
It’s a good choice if you want memorable days out and a hotel where returning for the afternoon pool session feels just as appealing.

La Digue – Best for laid-back romance
La Digue was the most relaxing island we visited, and we loved its easy-going atmosphere and beaches.
Most visitors get around by bicycle or on foot. Days naturally become a mix of cycling, swimming, eating and finding somewhere to watch the sunset.
Anse Source d’Argent is the famous choice, but hiking to the remote southern beaches and beach-hopping along the northeast coast were just as much a part of why we enjoyed the island.
However, La Digue does not have the same selection of conventional five-star resorts as Mahé or Praslin.
Stay here for the island rather than a long list of hotel facilities, or combine it with nearby Six Senses Zil Pasyon (adlink) if you want both.

Private islands – Best for privacy and a proper splurge
A private-island resort makes sense when the hotel itself is meant to be a large part of the honeymoon.
Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Enchanted Island Resort and Four Seasons Resort at Desroches Island (adlinks) all offer very different versions of seclusion.
Some are close enough to the main islands for a relatively short boat transfer, while the outer-island resorts require a flight.
The extra transfer and isolated setting make short stays less practical.
If you are spending that much to get there, leave enough time to slow down and enjoy it.
Choosing between Mahé, Praslin and La Digue
- Choose Mahé for the widest choice of luxury hotels, hiking and restaurants.
- Choose Praslin for the best balance of beaches, experiences and resorts.
- Choose La Digue for atmosphere, bicycles and slow island life.
For a Seychelles honeymoon, we would combine at least two of them, but ideally all three.
Praslin and La Digue work particularly well together, with Mahé added at the beginning or end around your international flights.
The best honeymoon hotels and resorts in Seychelles
The best honeymoon hotels in Seychelles range from small boutique stays to villas where your private pool has its own sea view.
We stayed at Savoy on Mahé, at Acajou Beach Resort and Coco de Mer Hotel on Praslin and Le Repaire on La Digue (adlinks).
The other romantic hotels in Seychelles below are research-based choices we would shortlist for a couples’ trip
Honeymoon packages and benefits change, so if a particular perk matters to you, confirm it with the hotel before booking and check whether you need to show a recent marriage certificate.
For even more lavish options, check out our guide to the best luxury hotels in Seychelles.
The best honeymoon hotels on Mahé
Cheval Blanc Seychelles
Opened at Anse Intendance in 2024, Cheval Blanc Seychelles is one of the newest and most ambitious Seychelles honeymoon resorts.
The 52 villas sit by the beach or on the green hillside, and each has its own pool.
It’s the choice for couples who want contemporary ultra-luxury beside one of Mahé’s most dramatic beaches and have no intention of pretending otherwise.
Check prices and availability at Cheval Blanc Seychelles (adlink).
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles
At Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, the villas climb the hillside above Petite Anse, with private pools and wide views through the tropical greenery.
Its combination of privacy, a highly photogenic beach and romantic dining and spa experiences makes it an obvious honeymoon choice.
The hillside layout is worth knowing about if you prefer everything to be flat and walkable, though.
Check prices and availability at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles (adlink).
Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas
Every villa at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas comes with a private pool and a villa host, so it is designed around privacy and personal service.
The location above quiet Anse Louis suits couples who want to retreat from the rest of Mahé.
If you plan to be out exploring from morning to evening, you may struggle to use everything you are paying for.
This is one of those places where doing very little is probably the best way to get your money’s worth.
Check prices and availability at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas (adlink).
Mango House Seychelles
With just 41 rooms, suites and villas on Anse aux Poules Bleues, Mango House Seychelles feels more intimate than Mahé’s large resort hotels.
Some suites have their own plunge pool, and the hotel has three more pools, several restaurants and an ocean-facing spa.
We also spotted a “Mango Love” offer for couples, complete with breakfast in bed, a love tray on arrival, a couples’ spa experience and a few more romantic extras. As always, check what is included and whether the package is available for your dates before booking.
Check prices and availability at Mango House Seychelles (adlink).
Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa
We stayed at Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa after our overnight flight and slept wonderfully in the king-size bed.
This is not the most secluded option on Mahé, but the location right on Beau Vallon makes restaurants, watersports and sunset walks easy.
It’s a practical luxury choice for couples who want more going on beyond the resort.
Check prices and availability at Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa (adlink).

Read moreThe best honeymoon hotels on Praslin
Constance Lemuria
Constance Lemuria is the classic Praslin honeymoon resort, with suites and villas spread through tropical grounds beside several beaches.
The real trump card is access to picturesque Anse Georgette, which we absolutely loved and where we were lucky enough to see dolphins at sunset.
Constance Lemuria’s half-board honeymoon package adds a few romantic extras, including local treats, tropical fruit, a beach bag, sparkling wine and a signature Lémuria bath ceremony.
If you’re into those sorts of things, the resort also has an 18-hole golf course and a spa.
Check prices and availability at Constance Lemuria (adlink).
Raffles Seychelles
The hillside villas at Raffles Seychelles all have private pools, with views towards the sea, tropical greenery or nearby Curieuse Island.
It’s well placed for Anse Lazio and boat trips from the north of Praslin.
Couples can also arrange private dining and personalised romantic experiences through the resort.
Check prices and availability at Raffles Seychelles (adlink).
Le Chateau de Feuilles
Small, secluded and high above the water on Pointe Cabris, Le Chateau de Feuilles is the boutique alternative to Praslin’s larger five-star resorts.
The hotel sits near the island’s southern tip and offers a private-island outing as part of its romantic appeal.
Its official honeymoon offer is another reason to check what is currently included when booking.
Check prices and availability at Le Chateau de Feuilles (adlink).
Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot Suites
We only had one night at Coco de Mer Hotel, but we would happily have stayed longer.
It offers a more affordable and slightly less extravagant take on luxury than some of the resorts mentioned above, while still feeling private and special.
Coco de Mer has a long waterfront, two beaches and a small “island” reached by a wooden walkway.
Couples looking for a quieter, more grown-up stay should consider the adults-only Black Parrot Suites at the same hotel.
Check prices and availability at Coco de Mer Hotel and Black Parrot Suites (adlink).
Acajou Beach Resort
Acajou Beach Resort, where we stayed for two nights, is a more affordable option right on Anse Volbert.
We enjoyed the beachfront setting, pool and vegan-friendly food.
The location also puts restaurants and shops within reach, which is useful if you want a romantic hotel without paying resort prices for every meal.
Check prices and availability at Acajou Beach Resort (adlink).

Read moreThe best honeymoon hotels on La Digue and nearby islands
Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie Resort & Spa
Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie Resort & Spa comes closest to a conventional luxury resort on La Digue.
It has a large pool, spa and waterfront position at the quieter end of La Passe, while the ferry, restaurants and Anse Sévère remain close.
This is the one to choose if you want La Digue’s atmosphere without giving up resort facilities.
Check prices and availability at Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie Resort & Spa (adlink).
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel
We spent our first two nights on La Digue at Le Repaire Boutique Hotel and loved the small, relaxed feel.
There is a pool, direct beach access and a good Italian restaurant.
You can hire bicycles through the hotel, so the rest of La Digue is never far away.
Check prices and availability at Le Repaire Boutique Hotel (adlink).
Six Senses Zil Pasyon
Six Senses Zil Pasyon is not on La Digue itself.
It occupies part of Félicité Island just offshore, with one- and multi-bedroom pool villas worked into the granite landscape.
This is one of the most luxurious resorts in Seychelles, with a serious spa and enough privacy for the outside world to become pleasantly irrelevant.
Its honeymoon packages change, so check the current terms rather than booking for a benefit that has quietly disappeared.
Check prices and availability at Six Senses Zil Pasyon (adlink).

Read moreThe best private-island honeymoon resorts
Enchanted Island Resort
Enchanted Island Resort sits on tiny Round Island in Sainte Anne Marine National Park, a short boat ride from Mahé.
The private-pool villas give couples the feeling of escaping to another island without adding a domestic flight.
The resort’s proximity also makes it easier to combine with Mahé than the more remote outer-island resorts.
Check prices and availability at Enchanted Island Resort (adlink).
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island
For a more remote escape, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island is the only resort on its island, reached by a flight from Mahé.
The villas and residences have private pools and direct beach access, while bicycles make it easy to find a quiet stretch of the island.
It works best for couples who want several days of privacy rather than a quick one-night splurge.

Read moreSeychelles honeymoon itinerary ideas
How to plan a Seychelles honeymoon depends on how much time you have and how often you are willing to repack.
We spent 15 full days in Seychelles across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
It gave us time for the main sights, a Curieuse Island boat trip and unhurried beach days without turning every ferry into a race.
Here are our itinerary suggestions for your honeymoon.
1-week/7-day Seychelles honeymoon itinerary
For a 1-week/7-day Seychelles honeymoon itinerary, we would normally choose two islands rather than trying to squeeze all three into one week.
Spend two nights on Mahé and five nights on either Praslin or La Digue, putting one of the Mahé nights at the beginning or end around your international flight.
Choose Praslin for its stronger selection of honeymoon resorts or La Digue for a slower atmosphere.
If you have your heart set on seeing all three islands, this faster itinerary is possible:
- Mahé: 2 nights around your international flight.
- Praslin: 2 nights for Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette or Vallée de Mai.
- La Digue: 3 nights for cycling, Anse Source d’Argent and a slightly slower finish.
It will be a busy week, and you will spend more of it moving than we would personally choose to. But it’s definitely possible.
10-day Seychelles honeymoon itinerary
A 10-day Seychelles honeymoon itinerary is enough for all three main islands without reducing them to a quick beach checklist.
- Mahé: 2 nights for an easy arrival, a beach and perhaps the Copolia Trail.
- Praslin: 3 nights for the two famous beaches plus Vallée de Mai or Curieuse Island.
- La Digue: 5 nights for Anse Source d’Argent, the southern beaches, cycling and proper downtime.
If your return flight leaves early, move one of the Mahé nights to the end. It may not be the most romantic finale, but neither is watching your flight home take off without you.
2-week Seychelles honeymoon itinerary
A 2-week Seychelles honeymoon itinerary gives you the pace the islands deserve.
- Mahé: 3 nights for beaches, Victoria, a hike and time at the hotel.
- Praslin: 5 nights for beaches, Vallée de Mai and a Curieuse Island trip.
- La Digue: 5 nights for cycling, hiking, snorkelling and revisiting your favourite beach(es).
This is close to the route we took, and we never felt rushed.
With a larger budget, you could swap a few of these nights for a private-island resort, but we would not shorten Praslin and La Digue so much that you barely see them.
Romantic things to do in Seychelles
The most romantic things to do in Seychelles are not all private beach dinners, spa treatments and rose petals.
These are the experiences we would build a couples’ trip around, starting on Mahé before continuing to Praslin and finishing with the slow pace of La Digue.
1. Drive to a quieter beach on Mahé
Hiring a car on Mahé makes it easy to leave the busier beaches behind and spend the day looking for a more secluded stretch of sand.
The roads can be steep and winding, but that is part of the fun when there is nowhere in particular to be.
Pack water, snacks and towels, then follow the coastal roads towards beaches like Anse Soleil, Petite Anse or Anse Takamaka.
A little exploring can lead to a beach day that feels much more private than simply staying by the hotel pool.
2. Hike the Copolia Trail
If you both like doing a little more than moving between the sunbed and the sea, the Copolia Trail is a lovely hike on Mahé.
The path climbs through the forest to broad views over Victoria and the surrounding islands.
It’s humid, uphill and not particularly compatible with honeymoon shoes, but take it slowly, bring plenty of water and enjoy the excuse to stop for the view now and then.
The reward at the top is more than worth the sweaty T-shirt.
3. Try a rum tasting
A visit to Takamaka Rum Distillery adds a different flavour to a day exploring southern Mahé.
Tours explain the rum-making process and can include a tasting.
Rum is not usually our thing, but it’s still a fun couples’ activity and we think the historic estate is worth seeing.
4. Take a boat trip through Sainte Anne Marine National Park
We did not take this trip ourselves, but a day on the water among the islands of Sainte Anne Marine National Park is an easy romantic addition to a Mahé stay.
Look for a boat trip (adlink) that matches how you want to split snorkelling, beach time and time on the boat.

5. Spend time at Anse Lazio
Anse Lazio on Praslin is not exactly a secret, but there are good reasons so many people include it in a Seychelles honeymoon itinerary.
Come for the pale sand, granite rocks and clear water, then stay long enough that the visit feels like a beach day rather than a photo stop.
6. Stay for sunset at Anse Georgette
Anse Georgette is beautiful at any hour, but sunset gave us one of our favourite evenings on Praslin.
We even saw dolphins swimming by on the horizon!
Access through Constance Lemuria (adlink) is worth checking ahead if you are not staying at the resort, as the arrangements have changed over time.
Alternatively, the beach can be reached on foot by a more demanding route.
7. See the Coco de Mer in Vallée de Mai
Vallée de Mai is home to the legendary Coco de Mer palm and feels quite unlike a beach day.
Walking beneath the enormous leaves together is a good way to break up your time on Praslin, particularly if you have started losing track of how many beaches you have visited.
8. Meet the giant tortoises on Curieuse Island
Our boat trip from Praslin to Curieuse Island brought us close to plenty of free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises, with time for a walk around the island and snorkelling in the clear water, too.
It was one of our most memorable wildlife encounters in Seychelles, and we would prioritise it if we only had room for a few paid activities on a shorter honeymoon.

9. Visit Anse Source d’Argent
We were the first visitors at Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue one July morning and the last to leave at sunset.
Staying late is worth it. The daytime visitors slowly disappear, the granite boulders catch the softer evening light and, if you’re lucky, you might end up with one of Seychelles’ most famous beaches almost entirely to yourselves.
It is easy to see why Anse Source d’Argent is one of the most romantic places in Seychelles.
Access to Anse Source d’Argent is through L’Union Estate, which has an entrance fee.
All you need to know about the famous paradise beach on La Digue, including how to get there, what to expect, where to stay and our best tips
10. Explore L’Union Estate
L’Union Estate is more than the entrance to Anse Source d’Argent.
Take some time to wander around the old plantation grounds together, and see the 750-million-year-old granite monolith, the French colonial buildings, a traditional copra mill and a small cemetery, all of which show different periods of La Digue’s history.
It’s an easy, unhurried little detour before or after the beach – and a much better way to experience the area than simply cycling straight through to the sand.
11. Paddle in a transparent kayak
While we’re talking about Anse Source d’Argent, seeing its granite boulders from the water is another lovely way to experience the beach together.
Crystal Water Kayaks offers guided trips in transparent kayaks, allowing you to paddle through the shallow, clear water while watching the seabed pass underneath.
It gives the landscape a different sense of scale. And yes, the kayaks are rather good for photographs, too.
12. Cycle around La Digue
Cycling is how most people get around La Digue, and it also became one of the things we enjoyed most.
You do not need a complicated plan.
Hire bicycles, choose a coast and stop whenever the beach looks too inviting to pass.
13. Hike to La Digue’s southern beaches
For a wilder day on La Digue, hike over to Grand Anse, Petite Anse and Anse Cocos on La Digue’s southeastern side.
The walk is part of what makes the beaches feel so special.
They are more remote, the waves are often bigger and the scenery is rougher than around the calmer beaches near La Passe.
Do keep an eye on the sea, though. Currents can be strong and conditions change, so we would treat the hike, views and beach time as the main attraction. Rip currents here are not always visible from the sand, so treat swimming as the exception rather than the default.
How much does a Seychelles honeymoon cost?
The answer to how much a honeymoon in Seychelles costs ranges from “less than you might fear” to “please do not show us the private-island bill”.
Accommodation makes the largest difference.
For a careful trip using guesthouses, self-catering, buses and mostly free activities, our estimate is around 1,000 to 2,400 SCR (~ 60 to 143 EUR / 68 to 163 USD)* per person per day when two people share a room.
Just don’t expect the honeymoon resorts featured in this guide at that price.
You can check out our guide to Seychelles on a budget if you want all of our best saving tips.
A more comfortable but still cost-conscious trip comes to roughly 2,300 to 5,100 SCR (~ 137 to 303 EUR / 156 to 346 USD)* per person per day.
That leaves room for nicer accommodation, restaurant meals, local transport and a few paid experiences.
A luxury honeymoon can easily exceed those estimates because a private-pool villa may cost more for one night than both of you would spend in a day on the budgets above.
Private-island flights, resort dining, spa treatments and boat transfers then sit on top.
International flights are not included, as the cost depends heavily on where you travel from and your dates.
Inter-island ferries, the travel authorisation and the Tourism Environmental Sustainability Levy should also be added separately.
*Prices are from 2026 and will change. Use them to understand the scale rather than to calculate the honeymoon down to the final samosa.

Read moreTips for a Seychelles honeymoon on a budget
A Seychelles honeymoon on a budget does not need to feel like the lesser version of someone else’s trip.
Here are our most important tips for a budget honeymoon in Seychelles.
Mix simple and special accommodation. Spend most nights in a well-located guesthouse or self-catering apartment, then finish with two or three nights at the hotel you are most excited about.
Visit fewer islands. Two islands explored properly can be more rewarding than three rushed ones, and every island change adds tickets, transfers and another chunk of a day.
Choose the location before the room category. A modest room close to the beach, shops and takeaway food may make your days easier than a cheaper place that requires taxis.
Spend money on one meaningful experience. For us, Curieuse Island would beat filling every day with organised excursions. Beaches, sunsets, swimming and hiking can occupy the rest of the trip for little or nothing.
Cook some meals. Seychelles has no shortage of romantic views, and your dinner does not become less romantic because it came from your own kitchen or was carried back from a takeaway.
The best time for a honeymoon in Seychelles
Seychelles is warm throughout the year, but the best time to go depends on whether calm water, lower visitor numbers or your exact wedding date matters most.
Seychelles honeymoon weather
Temperatures usually stay between roughly 24 and 32°C, and the sea remains warm.
Rain is possible throughout the year, often in tropical bursts rather than tidy all-day appointments.
The southeast trade winds are generally strongest from May to September.
We visited in July and found the wind stronger than expected, although the breeze was often welcome during the day.
The northwest monsoon usually brings the wind from November to March.
Weather patterns are never guaranteed, so check seasonal conditions for the particular beaches you want to visit rather than relying on one country-wide forecast.
The Seychelles Meteorological Authority publishes daily marine and wind forecasts by region.
The best months for calm water and island hopping
The transition periods around April, May, October and November are often recommended for good underwater visibility, and October and November in particular for the calmest seas.
July, August and the Christmas and New Year weeks are busy, so book early if your dates fall then.
Even outside the busiest months, the best-value rooms and smaller romantic hotels can sell out long before the islands run out of expensive ones.
Practical tips for planning a Seychelles honeymoon
- Book the hotels first. Smaller properties and good-value rooms are more limited than tours, so aim to book several months ahead for July, August and the Christmas weeks.
- Ask what counts as a honeymoon. Some hotel benefits require a marriage certificate and may only apply within a set period after the wedding.
- Tell the hotel about dietary requirements early. This matters even more at isolated resorts where walking to another restaurant is rarely an option.
- Compare the ferry with a domestic flight. The ferry takes about an hour between Mahé and Praslin and is usually the cheaper option, but travellers prone to seasickness may value the short flight.
- Protect your international flight. Spend the last night on Mahé so an inter-island delay cannot put your international departure at risk.
- Check transfer costs. A remote resort may require a boat, domestic flight or hotel-organised transfer that is not included in the room rate.
- Leave blank days. Weather changes, boat trips move and sometimes the beach outside your hotel is exactly where you want to stay.
- Apply for the travel authorisation. It is mandatory for everyone entering Seychelles, so do it before you travel rather than discovering it at check-in.
FAQ about honeymooning in Seychelles
How many days do you need for a Seychelles honeymoon?
Seven days is enough for two islands, while ten days allows a faster trip across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
Two weeks is better if you want all three main islands without rushing.
Which Seychelles island is the most romantic?
La Digue felt the most romantic to us because of its relaxed pace, bicycles and beaches.
Praslin is the better all-round choice if resort quality and a wider range of experiences matter more.
Do Seychelles hotels require a wedding certificate for honeymoon benefits?
Some do. Requirements and the permitted time since your wedding vary, so confirm the exact terms directly with the hotel before relying on any honeymoon benefit.
Is Seychelles suitable for an active honeymoon?
Yes. Hiking, cycling, kayaking, snorkelling and island boat trips are easy to combine with beach and pool time.
Can you have an affordable honeymoon in Seychelles?
Yes, although “affordable” is relative in Seychelles.
Guesthouses, self-catering, takeaway food, buses and free public beaches can keep the everyday cost down, leaving room for one memorable resort stay or boat trip.
