With granite boulders, powder sand and clear water, Seychelles is a dream honeymoon destination. It can be expensive, but good planning makes it more reachable than many couples expect.
The trick is choosing the right islands and the right hotel style, and booking flights early.
Getting there from Entebbe
Flights from Entebbe to Mahe usually connect through Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Dubai or Doha. The route and timing affect the price a lot, so we compare options for your dates. Seychelles asks for onward travel proof and an online travel authorisation, and as a traveller from a yellow fever risk country you should expect to show a yellow fever certificate. We check these requirements with you before you book.
Best time to go
April to May and October to November are calm, warm and a good balance of weather and price. December to February is busy and wetter, while June to September is cooler and breezier.
Things to do
- Beau Vallon and Anse Source d'Argent. Famous beaches with granite scenery.
- Praslin and La Digue. Hop by ferry and rent bikes to explore La Digue.
- Vallee de Mai. A UNESCO forest that is home to the coco de mer palm.
- Snorkelling and island hopping. Visit marine parks and quiet coves by boat.
- Romantic dinners. Beachfront dinners and sunset cruises are easy to add.
Tips for Ugandan travellers
- Self-catering apartments and guesthouses are a good way to save on a honeymoon.
- Split your stay between Mahe and one other island for variety.
- Tell us your wedding date. Many resorts offer honeymoon extras.
