Imagine this: the sound of gentle waves, the scent of salt and frangipani in the air, and your bare feet pressed into warm, silky sand — not once, but three times. A wedding that floats from island to island, each more breathtaking than the last. If the idea of a one-location wedding feels… well, a little too stationary for your free-spirited love, then welcome to the dreamscape of an island-hopping wedding in Seychelles.
This isn’t just a wedding. It’s an adventure, a romance in motion, and a celebration stretched across some of the world’s most magical islands: Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue.
Why Choose an Island-Hopping Wedding in Seychelles?
Because why not make your love story a trilogy?
Seychelles is more than a destination — it’s an archipelago of possibilities. With over 100 islands scattered like pearls across the Indian Ocean, it’s the perfect playground for couples who want their wedding to feel as untamed and unforgettable as their relationship.
Here’s why this idea might be perfect for you:
-
Multiple backdrops = next-level wedding photos.
-
Each island offers a different vibe — modern, mystical, or timeless.
-
Built-in honeymoon — no extra flights needed.
And the best part? Your wedding isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a journey — from “Yes” to “I do” to “Let’s never go home.”
The Ultimate Seychelles Wedding Itinerary
🌴 Start Your Love Story in Mahé
Welcome to Mahé — Seychelles’ largest and most cosmopolitan island. It’s where your plane touches down and your adventure begins.
What makes Mahé special?
Say your vows on Beau Vallon Beach, framed by palm trees and the setting sun. Or have a ceremony in a secluded garden, followed by cocktails on a catamaran. Add steel drums and a barefoot dance floor? Perfection.
🌿 Drift to Dreamy Praslin
Next stop: Praslin, a 15-minute flight or scenic ferry ride away. Here, time slows and nature turns up the volume.
Must-sees:
-
The ethereal Vallée de Mai, where ancient palm forests hide the legendary coco de mer.
-
Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette — consistently ranked among the world’s top beaches.
-
Luxurious, tucked-away stays like Raffles Seychelles.
On Praslin, you can say “I do” beneath palm shadows or in the golden hour light of a cliffside view. And yes — a private beach picnic with lobster, champagne, and live acoustic guitar is an option. (Highly recommended.)
🚲 End in La Digue: The Slow, Sweet Finale
La Digue is what happens when you mix fairy tales with island magic. With no cars and only bikes, time seems to slip into something softer here.
This island is all about intimacy and charm. Think: vintage oxcarts, charming creole houses, and Anse Source d’Argent — a beach so stunning it doesn’t look real (but it is, promise).
Stay at Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie, a tropical boutique hideaway with views made for poetry. Picture your first sunset as newlyweds from a private deck, the scent of frangipani in the breeze, and a sky that’s blushing just as much as you.
What Makes an Island-Hopping Wedding So Unforgettable?
Other than being, you know, epic?
-
Three unique locations = one unforgettable narrative. Each island becomes a chapter of your love story.
-
Unmatched photo variety. Jungle elopement one day, beach vows the next, granite-rock portraits to finish.
-
It’s a built-in honeymoon. Just swap vows, then swap your dress for a bikini. You’re already there.
And let’s be honest — it’s wildly romantic to promise forever while you’re literally drifting across paradise.
Practical Tips to Plan Your Multi-Island Wedding
Don’t worry — you don’t have to do this solo. But here’s where to start:
-
✈️ Book inter-island transport ahead of time (ferries or small flights).
-
📸 Choose a destination wedding photographer who knows how to move, adapt, and capture beauty on the go.
-
🏝 Pick your anchor points. You don’t have to visit every island — just choose 2–3 that feel right.
-
📋 Work with a Seychelles-based planner to handle permits, timing, and vendors.
-
👗 Bring multiple outfits — because three islands call for three looks (and we support this entirely).
