Honeymoon in Seychelles
Granite boulders, pink-tinged beaches, giant tortoises on a private island.
Why Seychelles works as a honeymoon
The Maldives' less-crowded, more dramatic cousin. Granite outcrops the size of houses sit on white-sand beaches; Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue regularly tops 'world's best beach' lists. Hop 2–3 islands by boat.
