Anshul Virmani and Nikhar Bhatia, Seychelles
Anshul and Nikhar’s honeymoon in sunny Seychelles saw them enjoying long hikes, watching sunsets together and a gorgeous post-wedding photoshoot.
After a hectic wedding, Nikhar and Anshul flew to Seychelles for some much needed rest and recreation at the luxurious Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa. Here, Nikhar shares her fondest memories of their heavenly honeymoon as well as tips for couples planning to go there too.
How We Met
“Anshul and I met in college while pursuing our MBA degree and instantly hit it off well from our first meeting itself. We became very close friends over time and started dating. We tied the knot after five years of courtship.”
Honeymoon Planning
“We had a grand Punjabi wedding with multiple functions spanning over a week, so we were very clear that we just wanted to relax and soak in the sun at our honeymoon. As we are both water babies, we chose the archipelago, that is, Seychelles as our honeymoon destination.”
Honeymoon Highlights
“We visited almost all accessible beaches in Seychelles like Praslin and La Digue, and explored pristine localities on a bike and rented car. Our trip started with spending quality time together amidst the stunning surroundings of the luxurious Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa We then ventured outside to enjoy the gorgeous sunset together at the famous Anse Lazio beach in Praslin. We even took a walk to the ‘Vallee de Mai’ National Park to discover the thrill of the wilderness!”
“In La Digue, we enjoyed hanging out at the world-famous Anse Source de L’Argent beach and indulged in a fun tanning session on the beach! As we are adventure lovers, we hiked for over 45 minutes to experience an adrenaline-pumping snorkeling session at the beautiful Petite Anse and Anse Cocos beaches.”
“Besides sight-seeing, we enjoyed a romantic honeymoon/post-wedding photo session at the dreamy ambiance of the Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa with photographer Parag Gopale. Parag made sure that he captured candid moments between us in the most scenic of spots, which I am sure, we will reminisce for years!”
Best meal
“We had the most amazing meal at an Italian takeaway place called La Pizzeria in La Digue.”
Your advice to couples going to Seychelles for their honeymoon
“Try and spend most of your time in La Digue as it is the most beautiful island in Seychelles. Also, try staying around Beau Vallon in Mahe as it is strategically located in the center of the city and has good transport and restaurant facilities.”
Can Avoid
“Vallee de Mai Nature Park in Praslin can be skipped as it is quite expensive.”
