Where the Prince and Princess of Wales honeymooned, 2011

North Island

Seychelles · April to October

An entire island restored as a private reserve — eleven vast villas among the takamaka trees, a tortoise sanctuary, and beaches that close to everyone but residents. The British royals chose it for their honeymoon for a reason: there is simply no one else here.

Why it stays exclusive

·Eleven villas and nothing else — the whole island is the resort
·Reached by helicopter from Mahé, fifteen minutes and a world away
·A 'barefoot luxury' protocol: no dress codes, no schedules, no signage

What is possible here

·A private beach dinner on West Beach, staff withdrawn by lantern-light
·Diving the island's own house reef with a resident marine biologist
·Breakfast brought to the villa at whatever hour the morning permits
·A sunset cruise past giant granite boulders older than human memory
