When it comes to honeymoon destinations, whether it’s the Maldives or a trip across Europe, while they’re certainly appealing, they might lack that unique touch? The Seychelles Islands, praised by National Geographic Traveler as one of the fifty must-visit places in a lifetime, boast crystal-clear waters, azure skies, radiant sunshine, and countless lush green plants. Its stunning beauty rivals that of the Maldives and Mauritius. Home to the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this Indian Ocean archipelago becomes an Eden for the soul and was also the honeymoon destination that captivated Britain’s Prince William.

Although the Seychelles Islands may not be large in size, their many top-tier resort hotels are renowned worldwide. Among them, the Seychelles Praslin Raffles Hotel, located on Praslin Island and covering over 30 acres, was once featured on Condé Nast Traveller’s 2012 “Hot List” and hailed as one of the best new hotels globally. It also neighbors the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the nation’s treasure—the coco de mer palm trees.

The Seychelles Praslin Raffles Hotel not only offers 86 pool villas, but also 30 ocean-view villas situated atop picturesque mountains that overlook the deep blue sea. The seamless blend of mountain and sea views creates a perfect contrast with the rich tropical greenery, leaving visitors awestruck. The hotel’s wellness center includes six open-air spa treatment pavilions built among natural rock formations. Two luxury spa suites even come with steam rooms and observation decks, allowing guests to enjoy breathtaking views in utmost privacy.
