1. North Island – Ultimate Privacy Meets Conservation

Location: Private island, 30km north of Mahé | Price Range: $$$$$

If you're looking for the absolute pinnacle of honeymoon luxury, North Island deserves serious consideration. With only 11 villas on the entire island, you'll have 201 hectares of pristine nature essentially to yourselves. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honeymooned here, but don't let that intimidate you—the atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious.

What makes North Island special goes beyond luxury. This is one of the world's most successful conservation projects, where you'll see giant tortoises roaming freely and rare birds that exist nowhere else on Earth. Your butler (yes, you get one) can arrange private beach picnics on any of the island's four beaches, or you can simply disappear into your villa's plunge pool overlooking the ocean.

Perfect for: Couples who value privacy above everything and don't mind splurging for an unforgettable experience.

Honeymoon highlight: The "East Beach" sunset dinner—imagine dining on the sand with flaming torches, fresh seafood, and waves as your soundtrack.

2. Six Senses Zil Pasyon – Barefoot Luxury at Its Finest

Location: Félicité Island | Price Range: $$$$

Six Senses has mastered the art of making you feel like a castaway while surrounding you with five-star comfort. Their Félicité Island resort features villas scattered across hillsides with views that'll have you reaching for your camera every five minutes (though honestly, no photo does it justice).

The resort's philosophy centers on wellness and sustainability. Their spa is extraordinary—think couples' treatments in pavilions open to the jungle, where you can hear exotic birds while getting massaged. The food focuses on organic, locally sourced ingredients, much of it from their own gardens.

What I particularly love here is how they've designed the villas. Even the "entry-level" ones feel enormous, with private infinity pools that seem to pour directly into the Indian Ocean. The two-bedroom villas offer extra space if you're honeymooning longer or want room to really spread out.

Perfect for: Health-conscious couples who want luxury without stuffiness, and those who love the idea of a resort with environmental credentials.

Honeymoon highlight: The hilltop cinema under the stars—watch classic films while lounging on beanbags with champagne and popcorn.

3. Four Seasons Resort Seychelles – Jungle Meets Ocean

Location: Petite Anse Bay, Mahé | Price Range: $$$$

Perched on a hillside on Mahé's southwestern coast, the Four Seasons offers something wonderfully different—tree-house style villas that make you feel like you're floating in the jungle canopy. Each villa is essentially a self-contained sanctuary with its own infinity pool overlooking either the jungle or the turquoise bay below.

The location on Mahé (the main island) means you have easy access to explore if you want it. Victoria, the tiny capital, is a 30-minute drive. Several stunning beaches are nearby. But honestly? Most honeymooners barely leave the resort. Why would you when you can wake up, step into your private pool, and watch the sunrise paint the ocean in shades of pink and gold?

Their Kannel restaurant deserves special mention—it's one of the best spots in Seychelles for Creole cuisine, and the Sunday brunch is legendary. The spa treatments using local ingredients like coconut and vanilla are wonderfully indulgent too.

Perfect for: Couples who want a established luxury brand's reliability with adventurous touches, and those who like having the option to explore nearby.

Honeymoon highlight: The sunset cruise with champagne—you might spot dolphins or even whales depending on the season.

4. Constance Lémuria – Golf Meets Paradise

Location: Praslin | Price Range: $$$$

Located on Praslin (the second-largest island), Constance Lémuria sprawls across three beaches, each more beautiful than the last. What sets this resort apart is its 18-hole championship golf course—the only one in Seychelles. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Golf? On our honeymoon?" But hear me out. Playing here means walking fairways bordered by jungle, with the Indian Ocean as your constant companion. It's unlike any course you've played.

Even if golf isn't your thing, the resort's beach access is phenomenal. Anse Georgette, one of their private beaches, consistently ranks among the world's most beautiful. The sand is so white it almost glows, and the water shifts between impossible shades of blue and green.

The suites here, particularly the senior suites, offer tremendous value for the quality. Rooms are spacious and elegant, with large bathrooms featuring both indoor and outdoor showers. The dining is excellent too, with four restaurants offering everything from Italian to Asian fusion.

Perfect for: Active couples who want variety in their honeymoon, and golfers who can't imagine two weeks without playing.

Honeymoon highlight: The Green Turtle sanctuary visits—Lémuria actively protects hawksbill turtles, and you can join their conservation team during nesting season.

5. Raffles Seychelles – Contemporary Elegance

Location: Praslin | Price Range: $$$$

If ultra-modern design speaks to you more than traditional tropical decor, Raffles Seychelles might be your perfect match. The villas here showcase contemporary architecture with clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sleek furnishings. Each villa comes with its own outdoor pavilion and plunge pool overlooking the hillside or ocean.

The resort occupies a hillside location on Praslin, which means incredible views but also means stairs (or regular buggy rides if stairs aren't your thing). What you get for that elevation is absolute privacy and vistas that stretch endlessly across the Indian Ocean.

Their spa is exceptional, built into the hillside with open-air treatment rooms. I'd recommend booking the couples' massage early in your stay—it sets a wonderfully relaxed tone. The resort also offers excellent day trips to nearby islands, including the famous Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the rare coco de mer palm grows.

Perfect for: Design-conscious couples who appreciate contemporary aesthetics, and those who prioritize privacy over beach proximity.

Honeymoon highlight: Private dining on your villa deck—the chef creates custom menus, and the setting with stars overhead is incredibly romantic.

6. Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa – All-Inclusive Bliss

Location: Silhouette Island | Price Range: $$$

Looking for genuine all-inclusive luxury in Seychelles? Labriz is your answer. Located on Silhouette Island, the third-largest island and completely protected as a national park, this resort offers the kind of predictable budget planning that honeymooners often appreciate.

The all-inclusive package here is genuinely comprehensive—seven restaurants and bars, all water sports (including diving for certified divers), and even some spa treatments. You can truly leave your wallet in the safe and just enjoy yourselves.

Silhouette Island itself is a nature lover's dream. The island's interior is pristine montane forest, home to rare species found nowhere else. The resort organizes guided hikes that are absolutely worth doing—views from the ridges are spectacular, and you'll likely see giant tortoises in the wild.

Perfect for: Couples who prefer knowing costs upfront, active honeymooners who'll take advantage of unlimited activities, and those seeking great value without sacrificing quality.

Honeymoon highlight: The sunrise hike to Anse Mondon—challenging but rewarding, followed by a private beach breakfast.

7. Carana Beach Hotel – Boutique Intimacy

Location: Mahé | Price Range: $$$

Sometimes smaller is better, and Carana Beach proves it beautifully. With just 40 chalets, this boutique property on Mahé's northern coast offers a more intimate atmosphere than larger resorts. The setting on Carana Beach is magical—dramatic granite boulders frame the bay, and the beach curves gently, creating a secluded feeling.

The chalets here sit literally steps from the beach. We're talking about falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking to the sight of turquoise water through your windows. The design incorporates natural materials and local art, giving everything an authentically Seychellois feel.

What makes Carana special for honeymooners is the personal attention. The staff quickly learn your names and preferences, creating that lovely feeling of being genuinely cared for. The resort's restaurant focuses on fresh seafood and Creole flavors, and they're happy to arrange private dinners on the beach.

Perfect for: Couples who prefer boutique properties over mega-resorts, and those who want beach proximity without the private island price tag.

Honeymoon highlight: The couple's massage in the beach pavilion at sunset—pure magic.

8. Constance Ephelia – Family-Friendly Luxury

Location: Port Launay, Mahé | Price Range: $$$

Now, you might wonder why I'm including a family-friendly resort in a honeymoon guide. Here's why: Ephelia is massive (the largest resort in Seychelles), which means it has adults-only areas where you won't encounter families at all. The adults-only villas are tucked into hillsides with maximum privacy, and the adults-only pool area is serene and romantic.

The resort spans two beaches and offers incredible variety—five restaurants, six bars, the largest spa in Seychelles, and a zip-lining course through the forest. You could easily spend two weeks here without repeating an experience.

What's particularly clever about Ephelia for honeymooners is that it offers different honeymoon phases in one resort. Want total seclusion? Head to your hillside villa. Feeling social? The main beach area has a lively, fun atmosphere. It's flexibility many couples appreciate.

Perfect for: Couples who like having options, those who might meet family later in the trip, and anyone who appreciates having varied activities available.

Honeymoon highlight: The U Spa by Constance—book the four-hand massage where two therapists work in perfect synchronization.

9. Denis Private Island – Barefoot Simplicity

Location: Denis Island | Price Range: $$$$

Denis Island operates on a wonderfully simple philosophy: give guests beautiful, comfortable accommodations, excellent food, and then get out of the way so they can enjoy one of the world's most pristine islands. There's no spa here, no extensive menu of activities—just you, your partner, and paradise.

The island is tiny (you can walk around it in about an hour) and perfectly flat, fringed by coconut palms and surrounded by beaches. The 25 cottages and villas are spread out, ensuring privacy. The fishing here is world-class if that interests you—Denis is famous for its bone fishing and deep-sea fishing.

What I love about Denis is how it forces you to slow down. There's literally nowhere else to go, nothing else demanding your attention. It's just the two of you, and that enforced simplicity can be wonderfully clarifying after the craziness of wedding planning.

Perfect for: Couples seeking digital detox and true escape, fishing enthusiasts, and those who find peace in simplicity.

Honeymoon highlight: The lighthouse dinner—a private candlelit meal at the island's historic lighthouse under a blanket of stars.

10. JA Enchanted Island Resort – Private Island Accessibility

Location: Round Island (Île Ronde), near Mahé | Price Range: $$$$

JA Enchanted Island offers something unique: private island exclusivity with relative accessibility. Just a 10-minute boat ride from Mahé, this tiny island hosts only 10 villas, meaning you'll share the island with at most 20 other guests. Often, it's even fewer.

Each villa is designed as a Creole mansion with colonial-style architecture but modern amenities. You get a private pool, direct beach access, and interiors that mix local craftsmanship with luxury finishes. The staff-to-guest ratio is exceptionally high, ensuring meticulous attention to detail.

Being close to Mahé means you can easily arrange day trips to explore Victoria or other islands, giving you flexibility that more remote private islands don't offer. But honestly, most guests find themselves too enchanted by their island to want to leave.

Perfect for: Couples who want private island intimacy without the long boat transfers, and those who appreciate having the option (even if unused) to explore nearby.

Honeymoon highlight: The castaway picnic—they'll drop you on a deserted beach with gourmet food, champagne, and snorkeling gear, returning hours later to collect you.
