The best gifts don’t always come wrapped in small boxes: in the most romantic month of the year, love blossoms under the palm trees of the Indian Ocean.
Seychelles Authentic Hotels Collection (SAHC) invites you to discover the archipelago where the endless blue of the ocean, white sand and characteristic island hospitality create the perfect setting for a couple’s getaway or honeymoon. From Creole experiences by the sea to intimate getaways on hidden beaches or couples’ massages, Seychelles is the ideal destination to transform a gift into a memorable memory for two.
Secret beaches and picture-perfect sunsets
Seychelles is home to some of the most iconic beaches on the planet, such as Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, famous for its granite formations and shallow waters, and Anse Patates, near the boutique hotel La Belle Tortue, where privacy and nature invite you to take barefoot walks at sunset and enjoy picnics by the sea, and where you can also enjoy high-quality cuisine: a perfect option for celebrating with your partner over fresh dishes, local seafood and a romantic atmosphere facing the ocean.
Excursion to Curieuse
Curieuse is a protected island that stands out for its unique ecosystem and the presence of giant tortoises that roam freely, offering a natural spectacle that is difficult to find elsewhere. The wooden walkways that cross mangroves and wooded areas allow you to explore the island in an environmentally friendly way. The island combines pristine beaches, lush tropical vegetation and historical remains, such as old settler buildings, creating a very special tour.
Dinner under the stars and massage for two
Hotels such as Hotel L’Archipel offer a panoramic dining experience overlooking the Indian Ocean, where the combination of refined dishes and endless sea views creates the perfect setting for intimate dinners and special occasions.
Each dish is prepared with fresh, locally sourced produce, incorporating local flavours and international techniques, making every meal an experience to remember. Similarly, Carana Beach Hotel combines the richness of Creole cuisine with a contemporary and relaxed setting, where diners can enjoy coastal views while sampling fresh seafood, local fish and tropical specialities.
At Le Duc de Praslin, couples who book a minimum of three nights in their Honeymoon Suites will enjoy an experience specially designed to celebrate love: candlelit dinner and couples massage at the Elodia spa. The spas in the Seychelles are usually open-air, with direct views of the sea or the tropical rainforest. A couples’ massage with local aromatic oils and treatments inspired by Creole traditions is the gateway to relaxation.
Scenic helicopter flight with Zil Air
The proposal consists of departing from the Mahé heliport and flying over places such as Grande Barbe, Eden Island and Morne Seychellois National Park. The contrast between the intense blue and the green islands is fascinating from the air. It is a short trip, lasting around 15-30 minutes, but very impressive and perfect for surprising that special someone.
Excursion to Cousin Island
From Indian Ocean Lodge, guided excursions to Cousin Island offer a unique experience for couples interested in wildlife and nature. The island, declared a protected reserve, allows you to observe seabirds nesting, turtles moving among the vegetation and various species endemic to the Seychelles. The tours, accompanied by specialised guides who explain the ecosystem and the importance of conservation, are conducted in a respectful manner, allowing you to enjoy the environment in a peaceful way.
Love is in Denis Island
Just a 30-minute flight from Mahé, Denis Private Island represents the essence of relaxation: a private coral island where nature sets the pace of the day. Snorkelling in pristine reefs, walks on virtually deserted beaches and sunsets with no other company than the sound of the ocean make your stay an experience of absolute intimacy.
