Maldives vs Seychelles: which is better for a honeymoon?

Choose the Maldives for the iconic overwater honeymoon — single-resort islands, glass-clear lagoons, world-class spa and dining, and the polish of brands like Cheval Blanc Randheli, Soneva Jani and Six Senses Laamu. Choose the Seychelles if you want landscape over sky-mirror water — dramatic granite boulders, lush interiors, accessible island-hopping between Mahé, Praslin and the inner islands, and a more grounded barefoot luxury at properties like North Island and Six Senses Zil Pasyon.

The Maldives is the better honeymoon destination if you want overwater villas, glass-clear lagoons and pure resort indulgence. The Seychelles wins on dramatic granite landscapes, nature, island-hopping and a more grounded, less-curated feel.
