It's no wonder that the Seychelles have been likened to the Garden of Eden. September in the Seychelles is sublime with sunny days and light breezes. Sprinkled across the Indian Ocean, this archipelago of 115 islands, has just a handful open to tourists and excels in private island retreats which attract the rich and famous.
Among the best is Fregate Private Island where Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills honeymooned. With its vast private villas and deserted beaches, beautiful spa and rocky interior, it's romance personified. North Island is another gem with emphasis on total luxury whilst looking after the environment.
The main island of Mahé is home to wonderful resorts such as Banyan Tree Resort & Spa, while sister island, Praslin is home to the spectacular Vallee du Mai, one of the oldest rainforests in the world where the rare coco de mer grows and the romantic Lemuria Resort. La Digue is a step into yesteryear with its horse carts and bicycles. Here you can go horseriding and enjoy a gentler pace of life.
The Seychelles are perfect for island hopping and scuba diving. A great honeymoon treat is a scenic helicopter tour over the swathes of azure blue ocean and lush green islands.
