\n \n\nAfter 15 years of planning amazing honeymoons across the Indian Ocean and having personally stayed in the best villas, here is our list\n of the ultimate honeymoon villas in the Maldives and Seychelles.
\n \n
\n\t\t\t\tOur team agrees the size of the villa isn’t everything - it’s the overall experience while at the resort that matters most. While a great\n villa is a must, access to a range of activities, amazing food, and personalized experiences are often necessary to make the ultimate\n list. We’ve included top-notch villas at resorts featuring stunning wine cellars, Michelin-star quality food, discreet service, and\n the best watersports. So now the list!
\n \n\n\n \n \n\n\nBest for Privacy, Food, and James Bond-esque Watersports Toys
\nRomantic Pool Residence at Velaa Private Island, Maldives
\n6,436 sq. ft.
\nA freestanding, overwater villa accessed only by boat with a swimming pool, its own sandy beach, direct access to the ocean, a spa treatment\n room, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and an elegant bathroom; the Romantic Pool Residence is a private and rare experience. The resort\n has the finest watersports toys, a multi-story wine tower, the best chef in the Maldives, an overwater spa with a snow room, and tables\n in the pool to enjoy cocktails at sunset.

\nVilla North Island at North Island, Seychelles
\n8,073 sq. ft.
\nAlso known as Villa 11, Villa North Island is a one-of-a-kind villa located at the end of East Beach, nestled amongst granite boulders. This\n extraordinary villa spans multiple levels and features wooden walkways leading down past the pool to the beach. A marble bathtub for two\n with views out over the ocean is a highlight. A private golf buggy allows for exploring the island’s nature reserve. We also love Brutus,\n one of the oldest living Aldabran tortoises, who loves his neck rubbed. Prince William and Kate enjoyed this villa on their honeymoon,\n so yes…it’s fit for royalty.

\nOne-bedroom Water Retreat with slide at Soneva Jani, Maldives
\n4,703 sq. ft.
\nIf a retractable roof above the bedroom that opens with the push of a button doesn’t get you smiling, then surely the waterslide from the upstairs\n of the villa down into the lagoon will have you enjoying your honeymoon. The villa has a spacious pool, living room, plenty of deck area\n for lounging, and a mini-kitchen stocked with snacks. We love the villas and never wanted to leave. We also love the overwater movie theater\n and observatory at the resort.

Frégate Island Private has quietly led the way in restoring an island to its indigenous state\n and has reintroduced rare native flora and fauna. We love the elegant insides and the huge pools outside the villas. The Private Pool Spa\n Villa features a separate room for spa treatments making it feel like its own spa resort. Some of the prettiest beaches in the World and\n great service ensure this is worthy of the finest honeymoons.
