Honeymoon Destination: The Seychelles

With the endless options for tropical, romantic getaways, it’s hard to narrow it down when it comes to honeymoon destinations. The Seychelles — islands located off the east coast of Africa — are a prime choice for a truly remote, unique and unforgettable post-wedding paradise. Known for A-list visitors like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and George Clooney, it’s clear to see why the collection of islands is a huge draw for couples.

Situated in the Indian Ocean, 115 tiny islands comprise the Seychelles where holidays are made among white beaches and luxurious lodging. With so many islands from which to choose, privacy is easy to find and enjoy. Many 5-star resorts feature top amenities to ensure you and your new love won’t have to worry about a thing during your honeymoon. Some of the resorts even offer honeymoon packages including meals and activities for couples like massages and exercise classes.

If you’re eager to get out and explore the tropical surroundings, you’ll have at your feet some of the world’s most beautiful and exotic plant life. The islands also offer opportunities for golf, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, hiking and water sports.

Relaxing in the Seychelles is almost involuntary. The chain of islands is even home to the three-year-old Mind, Body and Soul Festival. The festival features classes and exercises in yoga, meditation and mindful thinking to put your mind and body at complete ease.

When exploring honeymoon options, the Seychelles may be overlooked because of its distance from most places, but the essence of its isolation is what makes it perfect for a new pair.
