Love in Paradise: Why Couples Choose Cousine Island for Romance
There is a reason couples from around the world seek out Cousine Island for their most meaningful celebrations. It is not simply the powdery white beaches or the turquoise waters that stretch to the horizon—though these certainly play their part. It is the profound sense that here, on this 27-hectare sanctuary, the outside world truly cannot reach you.
Rediscovered by the present owner and his wife in 1992, Cousine Island was reborn through an inspiring legacy of eternal love. That fabric of unconditional love is woven into the island's very being, making it the perfect destination for couples seeking to celebrate their own love stories.
The Art of Romantic Seclusion on a Private Island
With only five luxury villas and a maximum of 12 guests, Cousine Island offers something increasingly rare in the modern world: genuine privacy. There are no day-trippers, no crowds, no interruptions—only the gentle rhythm of island life and the devoted attention of a team committed to making your stay extraordinary.
Each villa is a sanctuary unto itself, tucked into lush indigenous vegetation with direct access to the beach. Wake to panoramic ocean views from your private veranda. Fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves. Between these moments, an infinity pool awaits just steps from your door, where you can spend languid afternoons watching fairy terns circle overhead.
For couples seeking the ultimate in seclusion, the entire island can be rented exclusively. The Presidential Villa, four Luxury Villas, Lakaz lo Lans spa, and all island staff become yours entirely—a level of privacy that is virtually impossible to find anywhere else in the world.
Couples Spa Rituals at Lakaz Lo Lans
At the heart of romantic wellness on Cousine Island is Lakaz Lo Lans Spa—the "Beach House" spa—a reimagined sanctuary deeply rooted in the island's rhythms and the natural richness of the Seychelles.
The signature Couple's Sunset Ritual is designed specifically for partners seeking a shared journey of relaxation. Set in the spa gazebo at golden hour, this 90-minute experience includes:
A herbal foot cleanse to begin your journey
Synchronised full-body massage performed by two therapists
A soothing scalp ritual
Aromatherapy featuring locally sourced botanical ingredients
All spa products are 100% locally sourced from Cousine, Praslin, and Mahé. Ingredients like cold-pressed coconut oil, fresh papaya, cucumber, banana leaves, moringa, passionfruit, aloe vera, and sea salt form the heart of every treatment. The island works with ethical, regional partners such as Belliche to deliver products that align with its eco-conscious values.
For couples wishing to create their own spa journey, the Cousine Mix & Match allows you to build a personalised two-hour experience, combining scrubs, massages, facials, and scalp rituals to suit your preferences.
Private Dining Under the Stars
Romance on Cousine Island extends from spa to table. All dining experiences are included in your stay, with each meal lovingly prepared by the island's chef using fresh local ingredients and reflecting the vibrant flavours of Creole cuisine.
For couples, the most enchanting option is romantic beach dining. As night falls, a private table is set on the sand, illuminated by candlelight while the stars emerge overhead. Sip sunset cocktails as the crimson sky transforms into a canvas of twinkling lights, then enjoy gourmet dishes prepared exclusively for you.
Additional romantic dining experiences include:
Secluded champagne beach picnics with chef-prepared delights
In-villa dining for complete privacy
Beach barbecues with freshly grilled seafood under the stars
Romantic turndowns with special touches in your villa
The island's Gecko Bar offers the perfect setting for sundowners—tropical cocktails, international wines, champagnes, and local beverages served in an open-air setting as the day transitions into evening.
Secluded Moments
Creating Memories Together
Beyond spa and dining, Cousine Island offers countless opportunities for couples to connect in nature. Timeless walks along powdery white beaches dissolve under a blanket of glassy, turquoise-blue sea. Dappled sun springs from great-shaded palm leaves that rustle in a soft ocean breeze over secluded and romantic picnics.
Romantic activities to share:
Snorkelling together over pristine coral reefs
Kayaking at sunset when the sea turns golden
Stand-up paddleboarding on calm morning waters
Catamaran excursions to neighbouring islands
Guided nature walks ,discovering endemic wildlife
Yoga sessions in the dedicated meditation studio
And then there are the unexpected moments that become cherished memories: watching a turtle emerge to nest on the beach at dawn, spotting a whale shark from your villa's veranda, or simply sitting in silence as the sun sinks below the horizon in an explosion of colour.
