When most couples picture their perfect honeymoon, they imagine lazing on a pristine beach with white sand, the warm ocean lapping at their toes whilst they lay sipping cocktails with their newlywed partner, basking in the hot sun under blue skies. Without knowing it, they are picturing a Seychelles honeymoon, and why not? Why not dream of escaping to paradise with your loved one for the trip of a lifetime?
And look, we know a Seychelles honeymoon might not be for everyone, we appreciate everyone is different and some newlyweds would rather spend their honeymoon jungle trekking in Thailand, kayaking in Vietnam or hiking the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa! Fortunately, we pride ourselves on delivering a travel experience that tailors perfectly to our client’s wants, needs and desires, so whatever travel experience you are searching for, we can help.
A common misconception about a Seychelles honeymoon
But the fact remains that many newlyweds dream of a tropical paradise, and a Seychelles honeymoon is exactly that. However, when we speak with couples looking to book their dream honeymoon and we suggest that a Seychelles honeymoon would be perfect for them, the first question they often ask is, “Is it affordable?” There seems to be a misconception that a honeymoon in the Seychelles is financially out of reach when the truth is that a honeymoon in the Seychelles is more affordable than you might think!
So, in this blog, we are going to show you that the costs of honeymooning in the Seychelles can be more affordable than you may have thought.
Where are the Seychelles?
Seychelles is a collection of small islands in the Indian Ocean, around 800 miles due east from the African mainland. The islands are considered some of the most beautiful in the world, and since the 1970s have become a byword for the romanticised tropical island experience. Today the islands boast an array of 5* hotels and resorts and they thrive on the tourism trade. It is due to the beauty of the Seychelles that it naturally became the dream destination for many newlyweds.
And through Blank Canvas, a Seychelles honeymoon is now a genuine option for many couples. Below we have outlined our “Paradise Found: Island Hopping In Seychelles” package, an 11-day adventure of a lifetime that starts from just £2580 pp. This price includes return flights, transfers between hotels and islands, plus accommodation. Not included in the price (because it is free anyway!) is the high standard of hospitality you can expect when staying in one of our recommended hotels. One of the huge draws for the Seychelles is many hotels are locally owned and the owners and staff take great pride in doing everything they can to make their guests’ stays as magical as possible.
Let’s take a look at what you and your loved one could experience on this particular package:
Paradise Found: Island Hopping In Seychelles
On arrival at Seychelles International Airport on the largest island, Mahe, you will hop on another short flight to the country’s second-largest island, Praslin, where you can enjoy a 3-night stay at the excellent Hotel L’Archipel. Situated at the end of the stunning Cote d’Or Bay, L’Archipel offers exquisite catering, in-room massages and a private beach which is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. And to illuminate the level of hospitality you can expect in the Seychelles, Eddie, the manager of L’Archipel, once told us that they once had honeymooners who really, really wanted pizza, so they sent a boat to the mainland just to satisfy their pizza craving!
But it’s not just Eddie’s legendary hospitality and spectacular beaches on offer, the Vallee de Mai is close by and is a UNESCO World Heritage site just waiting to be explored. We guarantee that after 3 nights at this resort, you will be refreshed, relaxed and revitalised, ready for the next adventure!
Next up is a 3-night stay in La Digue at the secluded boutique hotel, Le Repaire. This quiet hotel offers a real authentic Seychelles experience and is just a stone’s throw away from one of the Seychelles’ most beautiful and famous beaches, Anse Severe. The hotel team will also be able to help you with booking watersports or fishing trips, and there is plenty of local culture to immerse yourself in, with the village of La Passe close by.
It’s not over yet!
By this point in your Seychelles honeymoon, you should be fully in the Seychelles spirit, making memories that will last a lifetime. But it’s not over yet! No trip to the Seychelles would be complete without spending time on the main island, Mahe, so for the final 3 nights you will be spoilt at the truly stunning Carana Beach Motel. With luxurious beachfront villas where you can literally step straight onto the sand, this location embodies everything the Seychelles is known for. You can also enjoy freshly prepared food sourced from the hotel’s own farm, and if chilling on the best beaches on the planet wasn’t relaxing enough, there are even spa facilities to enjoy!
By booking this Seychelles honeymoon package you will enjoy 9 nights in a tropical paradise, you will see, feel, taste and experience the very best of what the islands have to offer, and create memories you and your loved one can look back on for the rest of your lives. And you can do this from just £2580 pp, which shows that a Seychelles honeymoon can be affordable, especially as this isn’t just a holiday, this is your honeymoon which should be the most memorable travel experience you ever have!
