Reconsidering your definition of hotel room

Indian Ocean  why go

This Seychelles honeymoon keeps things deliberately simple: Mahé and Praslin, two very good hotels and almost no pressure to sightsee. We combined the Seychelles with a Cinque Terre road trip for our honeymoon, so this part was intentionally about slowing down. After a more active first half, the Seychelles were for beach days, long breakfasts and properly switching off. There is less need to plan around constant sightseeing here. Many days revolve around similar combinations of beaches, ocean views and resort time — which is exactly why the destination works so well when the goal is to relax.

✦  Based on expert opinion: We did the trial and error, so you get the optimized route.

The route

Mahé

Start slowly. Mahé has plenty to explore, but for this trip we did not turn it into a road trip just because you can. For a honeymoon or relaxing Seychelles trip, staying put is part of the point.

Stay: CaranaBeach Hotel — a small beachfront hotel on Mahé with sea-facing chalets, its own beach, pool, spa and several dining options.
Getting there: International flight to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ).

Highlights

  1. The beach

Getting aroundTaxi or hotel transfer. You can also rent a car for a day(part) via the hotel.

Eataris Seychelles — a good option if you feel like having dinner away from the hotel for a night.

TipDo not feel obliged to 'do Mahé properly'. For a honeymoon or relaxing Seychelles trip, staying put is part of the point.

Praslin

This is the splurge part of the trip: private pool villas, ocean views and enough restaurants and activities that you could comfortably spend several days entirely within the resort. The private villas, views and level of service make it feel like a destination in itself.

Stay: Raffles Seychelles — expensive, but genuinely suited to a honeymoon.
Getting there: From Mahé, Praslin can be reached by domestic flight, ferry, private boat or helicopter. Raffles can also arrange transfers.

Highlights

  1. Private pool villa and resort time
  2. Aldabra giant tortoises — Raffles has its own tortoise sanctuary
  3. Hotel-organised excursions
  4. Several restaurants on site

Getting aroundMostly through the hotel. Excursions and transfers can be arranged by the resort.

EatRaffles has enough restaurant variety that eating only at the resort never felt restrictive.

TipWe took the ferry from Mahé to Praslin, but would recommend the short domestic flight. The sea can get rough and lots of people get seasick.
