The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Constance Lémuria has a killer asset no other hotel in Seychelles can claim: exclusive access to Anse Georgette, consistently ranked among the five most beautiful beaches in the world. Hotel guests get private access to this long, powdery beach framed by granite boulders — day-trippers need permission to enter. Add the Constance brand's excellent spa and dining, the Vallée de Mai UNESCO site a short drive away, and one of only two golf courses in the Seychelles, and you have the most complete luxury resort experience on Praslin. It is a larger property and the atmosphere is more resort than boutique, but the beach access alone justifies the choice for beach-obsessed honeymooners. Best for: couples who want one of the world's best beaches guaranteed to themselves, with full resort amenities. Skip it if: you want absolute seclusion or a boutique atmosphere.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
Book the Junior Suite with private pool — these hillside units have plunge pools and partial ocean views. Request a suite overlooking the Anse Georgette direction rather than facing the golf course. The standard rooms are fine but the suite pool creates a genuine private sanctuary. For the best experience, ask the team whether any Senior Suites on the upper hill have availability at check-in.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival on Praslin & Anse Georgette First Look
Fly Mahé to Praslin (15 min) or ferry (1 hour). After check-in, walk straight to Anse Georgette — your private beach access card unlocks the gate. Even arriving in the afternoon, the light on the granite boulders at golden hour is exceptional. Dinner at the resort's main restaurant, L'Archipel, with panoramic views over the beach.
Full Anse Georgette Beach Day
Arrive at Anse Georgette by 8:30am — the beach is at its most pristine before the midday light flattens the colour. Snorkel around the granite boulders at the southern end for reef fish and occasional turtles. The beach bar sets up parasols and delivers cold drinks. Return to the resort for a late lunch, then an afternoon at the infinity pool overlooking the bay.
Vallée de Mai UNESCO Walk
The Vallée de Mai is 10 minutes from the hotel — a UNESCO World Heritage forest of giant Coco de Mer palms that feels entirely unlike anywhere else on earth. Visit early morning with a guide to spot the rare Seychelles black parrot. Back at Lémuria by noon for a spa afternoon: book the Constance couples treatment suite in advance.
La Digue Island Day Trip
Take the ferry from Praslin to La Digue (15 minutes). Rent bicycles and explore the island's interior and the extraordinary Anse Source d'Argent beach. La Digue is unhurried and largely car-free — the cycling pace is perfect for two. Return on the late afternoon ferry. Dinner at the resort's Diva restaurant for a lighter Italian-influenced menu.
Sunrise Snorkel & Watersports
Meet the resort's dive guide for an early snorkel trip to the offshore rocks around Lémuria's headland — some of the best coral in Praslin waters. Back by 9am for breakfast on the terrace. Afternoon exploring the nine-hole golf course (one of the most scenic in the Indian Ocean) — or book a kayak trip to the mangrove inlet at Anse Citron.
Private Anse Georgette Sunset Dinner
Ask the romance team to arrange a private dinner setup on Anse Georgette beach as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. The resort does this well — candlelit table, personal waiter, Creole seafood menu. Spend the morning in your villa, order breakfast delivered to your terrace, and use the day to prepare for your last full evening.
Final Morning & Departure
One last sunrise at Anse Georgette before the day-trippers arrive. Late checkout is often possible — confirm at booking. Transfer to Praslin Airport (10 minutes) for the domestic connection to Mahé, or directly if flying international from Praslin. Pick up vanilla beans and Coco de Mer products at the airport boutique.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Lémuria is a full-size resort and the atmosphere is not intimate — you will share Anse Georgette with other hotel guests, especially in high season. The exclusivity is real but relative.
Anse Georgette access is managed by a gate card — day-trippers from other hotels do sometimes arrive in the afternoon. Going early ensures the beach feels private.
The golf course layout cuts through parts of the resort grounds, which can feel incongruous at a beach resort. It is a positive for golfers and irrelevant otherwise.
Praslin has a small selection of restaurants outside the resort; dining variety beyond the hotel means a taxi. Plan to eat at the resort most evenings.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Constance Lemuria good for a honeymoon?
Yes — Lémuria's exclusive access to Anse Georgette, one of the world's genuinely great beaches, sets it apart from every other Praslin property. Combined with the Constance Spa and multiple dining options, it delivers a complete luxury honeymoon experience. Best for couples who want an outstanding beach and full resort facilities without private island prices.
Best room for honeymooners?
Junior Suite with private plunge pool, positioned on the hillside facing Anse Georgette. Request an upper-level unit for the best views and most seclusion. Avoid the standard garden rooms. At check-in, ask whether Senior Suite upgrades are available — the Constance brand is often accommodating with honeymoon requests when occupancy allows.
Best time to visit the Seychelles?
April–May and October–November are optimal for calm seas and the best snorkeling around Anse Georgette's boulders. Praslin's northwest orientation provides good shelter from the SE trade winds in June–August, but Anse Lazio (nearby) can be rough then. December–January is beautiful but expensive and busy — book Anse Georgette time early in peak season.
Which island is Constance Lemuria on and how do you get there?
Lémuria is on Praslin, the Seychelles' second island. Fly from Mahé to Praslin Airport on Air Seychelles (15 minutes, multiple daily flights) or take the Cat Cocos catamaran (1 hour from Victoria). The hotel transfer from Praslin Airport takes about 10 minutes. Book your domestic connection when you book the resort.
What's the snorkeling/diving like?
Excellent — the granite boulders at the ends of Anse Georgette have thriving reef fish populations and occasional sea turtles. The resort runs boat snorkel trips to offshore sites. For diving, the waters off Praslin's northwest coast include the Sisters Rocks and Shark Point, with good pelagic species sightings. Book through the resort's dive centre.
Insider tip for honeymooners?
Set an alarm for 7am and walk to Anse Georgette before 8am. For an hour you will likely have one of the world's most beautiful beaches almost entirely to yourselves. Bring the hotel's picnic blanket, order breakfast delivered to the beach through the front desk the evening before, and eat as the morning light hits the granite. It costs nothing extra and is unforgettable.
