For ultimate luxury you can’t get better than the North Island Resort. Truly fit for royalty – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chose it for their honeymoon – the resort’s philosophy is to give its guests a private, exclusive and bespoke stay. With only 11 private villas, it’s pretty close to having your own private island. North Island also has its own conservation programme working to ensure that the island and its inhabitants are pristine.
The Four Seasons Resort Seychelles on Mahe are becoming ‘proposal specialists’. They have created a pin, pack, propose service. Guests can collaborate with staff on a secret Pinterest board to plan every detail of the perfect proposal in the five-star resort.
Having only opened in 2013, the Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve on Praslin is still relatively unknown. It’s also not particularly well signposted, meaning that its often very quiet there. The walk itself is very beautiful but its the viewpoint you want to head to. On a clear day you can see for miles in all directions.
Visit the beach you have loved the most on your trip at sunset. Surrounded by the best memories from your trip and a stunning sunset, your loved one is sure to say yes. Or check out the best beaches in Seychelles for inspiration.
If you want a more quirky marriage proposal, go under the waves. You’ll need to organise with your dive master first, of course. With so many amazing dive sites suitable for beginners to experts there will undoubtedly be a perfect spot for you to propose. Try Big Blue Divers on Mahe or Octopus Diving on Praslin which are both PADI five-star resorts.
Exploring the islands by boat is a perfect way to see and explore lots of different islands. There is definitely something special about sunsets on a catamaran too. There are fantastic spots you’ll find that you can really only discover by boat, so you’ll be sure to find the right setting to propose.
