(Seychelles News Agency) - Seychelles is seen as one of the ideal getaways, especially for couples who want to spend time getting to know each other. The archipelago, which is spread over an Exclusive Economic Zone of 1.4 million square kilometres, has a lot to offer in the romance department, including for couples on honeymoons or expecting couples on babymoons.

SNA looks at five of the island nation's most romantic resorts.  

Fregate Island 

This hotel attracts honeymooners who are not only known worldwide but fit in the elite category of royalty. Fregate Island Private has in the past been the honeymoon destination of world known personalities including the former golden couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

The resort has since 2013 been managed by German luxury hotel brand Oetker Collection. It boasts 16 beautifully crafted luxurious villas spread throughout the 219 hectares of lush vegetation. Couples have seven of the most jaw-dropping beaches to enjoy throughout their stay.

The resort's luxuriously renovated villas are cocooned among vegetation in the exclusively private ambience that the island is famed for, each with its own infinity pool, jacuzzi and sun-terrace looking out over the calm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Denis Island

On Denis, you’ll re-discover a forgotten mode of luxury: one of real food and real people, immersed in nature on one of the most secluded islands in the world. Between tropical sunsets, being at one with nature and the powerful sense of seclusion on one of the earth’s most remote islands, one can’t help but be swept away by romantic whims.

Denis is described a little crescent of heaven, with beautiful beaches and a turquoise lagoon to snorkel and swim in - all this shared between 25 spacious villas and cottages on the beach.

Situated 60 kilometres northeast of Mahe, this island resort offers the Robinson Crusoe type of fantasies. With no modern connectivity, there is no better place to share the personal connection.
