Our honeymoon at Hilton Northolme Resort & Spa was nothing short of extraordinary, truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey to an exceptional place that we will cherish forever.
From day one, the staff pampered us and treated us like family. Every interaction felt genuine, warm, and personal, and it made all the difference for such a special trip. GG, Gorbachev, Michelle, Patrick, Precious, Jogé, Surman, Mahlle Michelle, Ricky, Brian, and so many others, each played a part in making our stay unforgettable. Their kindness, attention to detail, and pride in the guest experience never went unnoticed.
We had several destinations we were considering for our honeymoon, and I can honestly say we cannot imagine having chosen anywhere better. The food was consistently delicious, the rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully updated, and our pool villa, with its breathtaking views, felt like our own private paradise. Waking up to the Indian Ocean each morning was surreal.
Beyond the beauty of the resort itself, the team helped us experience the island in ways that made the trip even more special. If you’re planning a stay, here are a few helpful tips:
• We booked the shuttle service and the Island Hopper excursion through the resort. Our taxi driver, Jonathan, shared his number so we could WhatsApp him anytime for spontaneous trips, incredibly convenient.
• The Island Hopper (Mahé → Praslin → La Digue) was wonderful and very well organized. That said, if you get even a little motion sickness, be prepared, you’ll be on the boat roughly 3 hours round trip.
• The excursion is a shared charter, so you’ll meet guests from other resorts. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and made the experience fun and seamless.
• Exchange for Seychelles rupees at the airport, it’s easy and convenient.
• Take advantage of the complimentary resort shuttle to Victoria and Beau Vallon Beach. We loved the tranquility of Northolme, but it was great exploring more of Mahé.
• There’s a small grocery down the road that sells Takamaka rum, wine, and other essentials. While the resort drinks were fantastic, we enjoyed having a little extra in the room beyond the minibar.
• Pack reef-safe sunscreen and light snacks for excursions, the island sun is no joke.
Hilton Northolme delivered the perfect balance of romance, relaxation, adventure, and world-class hospitality. We arrived as guests and left feeling like family, and that is the highest compliment we can give.
We will absolutely be back. 🤍
