Seychelles Vacation

There was nothing inspired about the Frégate's décor but for the frigate being the Frégate, Saudi princes were reportedly landing their private jets and having sinfully decadent parties. This is really what started the Seychelles hotel construction boom- seeing the opportunity to cash in on offering private resort privileges to paparazzi weary celebrities. The resort island continues to be a favorite place for celebrity honeymoons. It is fast gaining a reputation for being the ideal place for people to express their love for each other, whether it lasts after they leave is another matter but as the saying goes, whatever happens "we will always have Paris" (or rather the Seychelles). Amongst Frégate's most illustrious celebrity honeymooners are Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who did end up splitting but have made the record of the Seychelles celebrity honeymooners, as have Paul McCartney and Heather Mills. Before we begin to make the Seychelles sound more like a jinxed honeymoon spot, we should mention Liz Hurley who to date is thankfully still married to Arun Nayer and Salma Hayek who reportedly is still very attached to her French husband Francois-Henri Pinault.

Frégate might still be popular with the privacy seeking celebrity jet setters because of its exclusivity for the rest of the normal and not so famous travelers who can afford private island rates, there's always Mahe Island, the largest island in the archipelago. The Capital of Mahe, Victoria is a beautiful place that should not be missed by anyone on a Seychelles vacation. Tourist attractions include the Vauxhall Clock tower replica, the Victoria botanical gardens, and the courthouse. The national museum should also not to be missed, as is the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market where one can purchase Victoria's finest vanilla and coconut products and maybe in your wanderings, you might spot a celebrity, they are apparently not as hard to spot as the giant sea turtles.
