Seychelles Islands Royal Honeymoon
Back in February, we named "Renting a private island in the Seychelles" as one of our "Five best getaways for a royal honeymoon". It appears we were prescient, since that's exactly what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did. Vladi Private Islands has said that it rented the secluded North Island to the royal family.
Since the media frenzy surrounding the vacation is focused on the couple's itinerary, we thought we would offer a few suggestions for anyone looking to create a fantasy honeymoon in the remote archipelago off the east coast of Africa.
Whether you rent the entire island or simply stay in one of the luxury villas that the Seychelles are known for, this trip is a recipe for pure relaxation. Since money is no object in fantasy honeymoons, opt for the extremely private Villa 11, aka the "Villa North Island", (a mere 3,340 euros per person, per night). Hidden in the Takamaka forest at the northern tip of the island, Villa 11 sits on a private beach and offers incredible views of the Indian Ocean. The villa comes complete with a 5,400-square-foot sundeck, two lounges, a media room, an open-air bathroom, chef service and butler service. Unlimited scuba diving is also included. Enjoy access to a holistic spa and gorgeous restaurants with lounge seating right on the beach.
