The Royal engagment was cemented on Desroches Island

Nov. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- The Sunday Express revealed the story of the make-or-break holiday that sealed William’s engagement to Kate when they decided they would spend the rest of their lives together as William told Kate “You are the one” on a holiday to Desroches Island in the Seychelles.    

It is no surprise that William chose Desroches Island as it is one of the few places on Earth that can truly be described as paradise. Located 230 kilometres to the south of Mahe, Desroches is the largest of the 115 islands that make up the Seychelles, it has a pristine and primitive beauty that appears to have changed little since Vasco da Gama first travelled here five hundred years ago. The expanse of white soft sandy beaches is unimaginable and the sea shimmers under the warm sun while lazy waves roll ashore, revealing spindly crabs tap-dancing their way across the beach. There is always a slight breeze blowing in the trees and an occasional thud of a fallen coconut. There is no one else in sight and there are no other islands for miles around.

For anyone in search of the ultimate romantic getaway, Desroches Island is the answer.
