Want to hang out with some animals you’ll only find on your Seychelles honeymoon? We thought so, and Curieuse Island is the place to do it. 

From endemic wildlife species to giant tortoises, you and your partner have every chance to see incredible nature while you’re on your African honeymoon in Seychelles. 

It’s also one of the only places you’ll find the Lodoicea or Coco de Mer tree, known for its gigantic fruit that can weigh up to 100 pounds.

The Best Time to Visit Seychelles 

When is the best time to go on your Seychelles honeymoon? Spring and fall are usually the best, with October being our favorite time to plan a honeymoon in Seychelles.

How Long to Spend on Your Seychelles Honeymoon 

What’s the right amount of time for a Seychelles honeymoon itinerary? While it ultimately depends on your budget, we think planning to spend 7-10 days in Seychelles is just right. 

How Much Does a Seychelles Honeymoon Cost?

So you’ve locked in on Seychelles as the perfect location for your honeymoon in Africa, but what does a Seychelles honeymoon cost?

Again, this depends on what level of luxury you’re after. Generally, though, airfare, accommodations, and meals in Seychelles will typically run you between $7000-$10,000 for a romantic Seychelles honeymoon.
