Seychelles is truly a paradise on Earth. Every moment spent there feels like it's taken right out of a dream. The sparkle of blue waters, the lush green plantations, breathtaking hikes, and romantic private island getaways all combine to make it an ideal honeymoon or romantic getaway destination. Now, while we've already shared with you a pretty detailed itinerary for Seychelles, let's tease you a bit more with 10 unforgettable experiences you simply cannot miss when including this tropical haven in your honeymoon plans.
1) Reclining on a Secluded Beach
There is something magical about reclining on an unspoiled, quiet beach. Seychelles boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and the good news is that you can easily find a secluded spot for the two of you. While Anse Source D'Argent and Cote d'Or are famous for their beauty, there are many more secluded beaches you can find with a little local knowledge. Just ask your driver for recommendations on quieter public beaches, and you will be rewarded with a serene stretch of sand to relax, sip wine, and read a book. It is the kind of moment that makes your honeymoon unforgettable.
2) Island Hopping without a Hefty Price Tag!
Seychelles is perhaps the easiest place on earth where one can easily island hop with minimum budget and at their leisure. Seychelles island-hopping will be far more budget-friendly compared to a place like Maldives. Using public ferries, the government offers inexpensive public ferry transportation services. With each hop across different islands, there's always an interesting, one-of-a-kind experience of exploring that specific island. Praslin and La Digue are two must-visit islands offering diverse beauty-from luscious forests and pristine beaches to the chance to see giant tortoises and vibrant local culture.
3) Making Friends with Smiling Locals
If you consider yourself a lovers of immersing yourself in local culture, Seychelles is the perfect place to do so. Warm and welcoming locals are always ready to share a smile and stories about their islands. You can walk through the busy markets of Victoria on Mahé Island, where you are surrounded by bright colors and the smell of fresh local produce. Or, visit the L'Union Estate on La Digue and engage with the locals while learning about the history and traditions of the island. The people of Seychelles will make your honeymoon even more special, leaving you with memories of genuine connections and lasting friendships.
4. Biking Along the Coast
Imagine spending a day biking along the coast with your partner, the gentle sea breeze in your hair, and the beauty of the islands all around you. Renting bikes on islands like La Digue and Silhouette is one of the most romantic things to do in Seychelles. Take your time exploring at your own pace, stopping at hidden beaches, discovering secret caves, or enjoying a spontaneous snorkeling session. The day will be relaxed, and the place will be magnificent. This one is sure to be remembered all a lifetime through.
5. Visiting with Giant Tortoises
A world where meeting giant tortoises and perhaps touching them may not be on the cards except for Seychelles. At L'Union Estate on La Digue Island, you walk along some old plantation houses and sit in those beautiful surroundings but more importantly hang out with some slow-moving giant tortoises. Watching them glide slowly across the land is a peaceful experience, and it's a fun, unique way to connect with nature during your honeymoon.

From private beaches to local experiences, island hopping to meeting incredible wildlife, every moment in Seychelles feels like a gift.
