10 Best Honeymoon Hotels in the Seychelles (2027)
The Seychelles is really several honeymoons in one: hillside villas on Mahé, Praslin’s famous beaches, bicycle days on La Digue and private islands that feel like the end of the world. These ten stays cover each one, from a value pick on Praslin to an island almost to yourselves.
Our top picks: Seychelles honeymoon hotels
Four Seasons climbs the hillside above Petite Anse, one of Mahé’s most beautiful bays, with 67 rooms and villas, a beachfront restaurant, a hilltop spa and yoga classes. Kayaking and snorkelling start from the beach below.
Because it is on Mahé, there is no ferry or flight after a long-haul arrival, which matters more than it sounds on the first day of a honeymoon.
Raffles has 86 villas on Praslin’s north-east coast, each with a private plunge pool, plus the Raffles Spa, four restaurants, snorkelling, paddleboards and Pilates.
Anse Lazio, often listed among the world’s best beaches, is close by, and the Vallée de Mai’s coco de mer forest is an easy half-day out.
Six Senses occupies Félicité, a small granite island near La Digue, with a private beach, the Six Senses Spa, three restaurants and snorkelling and kayaking straight from the shore.
It is the most castaway-feeling stay on this list that is still easy to reach by boat or helicopter.
Lémuria is home to the Seychelles’ only 18-hole golf course, and its grounds give guests access to Anse Georgette, one of the islands’ most celebrated beaches. The Constance Spa, yoga, sailing and windsurfing complete a resort with plenty to do.
It suits couples who want a big-resort choice of restaurants and activities alongside a postcard beach.
Maia is an all-villa resort on a quiet headland on Mahé, where every villa has its own infinity pool. Beach massages, beachfront dining and an Anantara Spa set a slow, private rhythm.
It is close to the international airport without feeling anything like it, and a strong first or last stop on an island-hopping trip.
The former Hilton Labriz sits on Silhouette, a mountainous island that is largely protected national park, with five restaurants, a spa, paddleboards and fishing.
You get a real island-escape feeling with the restaurants and facilities of a full resort, a combination that is rare in the Seychelles.
Platte is a remote coral island reached by light aircraft from Mahé, and Waldorf Astoria has it almost to itself: a private beach, diving and kayaking, the Waldorf Astoria Spa and three restaurants.
This is the splurge for couples who want to feel genuinely far from everywhere.
A small boutique hotel on Mahé’s north coast with a beach bar, a pool bar, a spa and two restaurants, a short drive from Beau Vallon.
It is a calmer, more intimate alternative to the big Mahé resorts, and better value than the private islands.
A beachfront boutique hotel on La Digue with an Italian restaurant, garden and terrace.
La Digue is the island of bicycles and granite boulders, and staying overnight means you can reach Anse Source d’Argent before the day-trippers arrive.
A 52-room beachfront hotel on Praslin close to the Vallée de Mai, with a spa, a pool bar and an adjacent golf course; the Black Parrot Suites are the upgraded honeymoon choice.
It brings a Praslin honeymoon within reach of a more moderate budget.
Which island for a Seychelles honeymoon?
Mahé: the international gateway and the largest choice of hotels; no extra transfer after a long flight. Praslin: Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette and the Vallée de Mai forest of coco de mer palms; about an hour from Mahé by fast ferry or a short domestic flight. La Digue: bicycles instead of cars, granite boulders and Anse Source d’Argent; a short ferry hop from Praslin. Private islands such as Félicité, Silhouette and Platte: the most secluded option, at the highest price.
For a ten-night honeymoon, a classic split is four nights on Mahé or Praslin, two or three on La Digue and the rest at a resort you never want to leave. The calmest sea conditions usually come in the transition months of April–May and October–November, between the two monsoon seasons.

FAQ
Which Seychelles island is best for a honeymoon?
Praslin is the best all-round honeymoon island, with some of the world’s most famous beaches and a good range of hotels. Mahé is easiest for a short trip, La Digue is the most charming for two or three nights, and private islands such as Félicité or Platte are for an all-out splurge.
Which Seychelles hotels have private pool villas?
On this list, Raffles Seychelles on Praslin and Anantara Maia on Mahé are known for villas with their own pools, and Six Senses Zil Pasyon and Four Seasons offer pool villas in several categories. Check the exact room type when you book.
How many nights do we need in the Seychelles?
Seven nights is enough for one or two islands; ten to fourteen nights lets you combine Mahé or Praslin, La Digue and a final resort stay without rushing.
When is the best time for a Seychelles honeymoon?
The Seychelles is warm all year. April, May, October and November usually bring the calmest seas and lightest winds, which suits snorkelling and island-hopping. December to March is hotter and more humid with more rain.
