Like the idea of honeymooning on idyllic white-sand beaches dotted with distinctive granite boulders and lapped by warm turquoise waters? Then the Seychelles should be a serious contender.
Original Travel knows the Seychelles islands intimately so you can take your honeymoon pick from a number of picture perfect island paradises. We explain the various merits of staying on the romantic paradises of North, Fregate, Denis or Praslin (a UNESCO world heritage site) islands, and all the hotels we recommend take an admirable stance on the importance of sustainable tourism.
Whichever island you choose to migrate to, you will see some of the millions of seabirds who live here, or even century old giant tortoises roaming free. Offshore, pristine coral reefs offer superb snorkelling and diving. A thousand miles to the west Kenya combines very well with the Seychelles to make for an excellent 'bush and beach' honeymoon combination.
