Choosing which of Seychelles’ 115 islands to visit can be hard, but not for these returning royals.

TOURISM > A royal endorsement

There are few endorsements better than being chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as a honeymoon destination.

Last year, amidst intense media interest, the royal couple stayed at North Island, north west of Victoria, which has been developed as a private 11 villa eco-tourist resort.

It was a return visit to the country, as Prince William and the then Kate Middleton had previously spent a diving break in 2007 at Desroches Island, a 40 minute flight from Mahé.

“The couple thoroughly enjoyed their time together,” said a Clarence House spokesperson, adding that they thanked Seychelles’ government for a honeymoon that was “such a memorable and special 10 days.”
