Well, there must be something special about Seychelles, otherwise, the newlywed Prince<\/em> William and Kate Middleton would not have preferred it on all others as their honeymoon destination. Now of course not all of us can afford a 5000 GBP per night resort like the royal couple but Seychelles has something for everyone.<\/p>\n
