Best summer getaway – the Seychelles

So… I’ll assume that most of us can’t really afford to hire a private jet or rent an entire island but that doesn’t mean that all royal-worthy locations are a no-go.

The Seychelles is, after all, a paradise patch of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean.

Word on the street (and in the Telegraph) is that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first visited the Seychelles in 2007 following their break-up five months earlier.

Rumour has it that the dreamy archipelago is where they vowed to stay together for good and marriage was first mentioned – consequently the perfect romantic destination for a honeymoon… or the best summer getaway.

Before the royal couple’s holiday destination was confirmed, the mere rumour of the Seychelles was enough to increase associated flight searches on kayak.co.uk by 250%.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, the Seychelles is likely to be the go-to spot on the summer calendar of many Britons.

Just to whet your appetite, wonderfulworld.uk.com has written a tantalising description of the island paradise -

…unspoilt powdery white sand beaches, crystalline turquoise waters that wash over pristine coral reefs, and verdant green rainforest, the islands stretch like an array of jewels across nearly one million square km of the Indian Ocean east of Kenya.
