Royal Honeymoon Over After 10 Days in Seychelles

Newlyweds Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, are back in England after spending 10 blissful days of quietude in The Seychelles.

Royal Honeymoon on North Island, Seychelles

The word is out and it appears to be official, the royal couple is spending their royal honeymoon on North Island, Seychelles. The owner of the island, Farhad Vladi, apparently let the cat out of the bag and is quoted as saying, "Prince William and his Kate are spending their honeymoon there. But you will understand that we are not saying anything further." What more can he really say to spoil the secret?! Maybe they got a discounted rate if he got some PR value.

Which island in the Seychelles is royal honeymoon central?

William and Kate spent a week in August 2007 on the island of Desroches, a secluded island paradise just four miles long, about 150 miles south west of the Seychelles' main island, Mahe. It has been reported that William told islanders the Desroches trip was the best vacation he had ever had.

Desroches is the main island of the Amirantes Group - locations which boast exclusive resorts in the kind of setting that most honeymoon couples can only dream about. A Seychelles honeymoon gives newlyweds that classic get-away-from-it-all location reminiscent of a desert island. A similar honeymoon destination on the other side of the planet might be Bora Bora.
