Dream Weddings in Seychelles Marine National Parks: Sainte Anne, Baie Ternay & Beyond

Let’s skip the clichés for a second.

Picture this instead: You’re barefoot on warm white sand. Your partner’s hand is wrapped around yours, a giant Aldabra tortoise slowly ambles in the background like an ancient guest of honor. And the ocean? Oh, it’s whispering your vows back to you. Welcome to Seychelles’ marine national parks—where nature, romance, and wild beauty come together in one unforgettable “I do.”

If you’re thinking about a destination wedding that feels like a dream (but also a little Indiana Jones meets Vogue), keep reading. This one’s for you.

Why Seychelles?

Seychelles is what happens when Mother Nature flexes. It’s 115 islands of lush jungle, granitic cliffs, and water so clear it looks photoshopped. But here’s the real magic: the marine national parks. These aren’t just snorkeling hotspots—they’re nature’s sacred spaces, protected for their biodiversity and unmatched beauty.

And yes, you can get married right there. With proper permits and a good plan, your wedding can be part of this magic without leaving a footprint (well, other than the ones you dance barefoot into the sand).

Seychelles Marine Parks That Are Perfect for Saying “I Do”

1. Sainte Anne Marine National Park

Located a short boat ride from Mahé, this six-island wonderland is an underwater Eden. The beaches are soft, the waters shimmer with coral gardens, and the sunsets? Let’s just say filters are unnecessary.

Moyenne Island, part of the park, is a standout for weddings. It’s intimate, brimming with giant tortoises, and completely car-free. It’s like eloping on a Robinson Crusoe movie set—with better catering.

2. Baie Ternay Marine National Park

Want privacy? This one’s hidden on the northwest coast of Mahé and only accessible by boat or hike—making it the ultimate escape for couples who want total seclusion. Think glassy waters, sea turtles gliding past coral, and no one else around but you, your love, and maybe your photographer.

3. Curieuse Marine National Park

This park brings the wow factor with red-hued trails, mangrove forests, and beaches shaded by takamaka trees. Plus, it’s home to over 300 Aldabra tortoises. Honestly, they might steal the show.

Planning Your Wedding in a National Park (Without Losing Your Mind)

🌿 Get Permits

These parks are protected, so you’ll need official permission. Reach out to the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority in advance for guidelines and approvals.

📸 Work With Local Pros

Hire vendors familiar with marine park regulations. Local planners and photographers (hi! 👋) can help you navigate logistics without sacrificing creativity.

♻️ Think Eco-Chic

Skip the confetti and go for locally sourced flowers, coconut-leaf arches, or driftwood décor. You’re in nature’s cathedral—keep it sacred.

Make It an Adventure (Because Why Not?)

Don’t just show up, say vows, and leave. Make your wedding week unforgettable:

Snorkeling safaris in Sainte Anne or Baie Ternay
Sunset catamaran cruises with Creole music
Nature hikes through mangroves or granite trails
Picnics with tortoises on Curieuse

Your guests won’t stop talking about this wedding. Promise.

When to Go?

Dry season runs May to October—ideal for clear skies, calm waters, and golden light that makes your photos pop. Rainy season (November to April) can be lush and romantic too, just pack a parasol and a sense of humor.

Real Talk: Is It Worth It?

Let’s just say this: If you want a cookie-cutter ballroom wedding, Seychelles might not be for you.

But if you’re the kind of couple who craves adventure, intimacy, and natural beauty that makes your heart skip—then yes. A thousand times yes.
