PRINCE William’s grandparents honeymooned in the country where Catherine and he became engaged, so where in the world will the young Royal couple find for their honeymoon this month? A return to Kenya although extremely pleasant, seems unlikely.

Offers no doubt have streamed in from the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Elton John all having prime and very secluded holiday real estate to offer Kate and William.

Probably potentially a cheaper option for them in these cost cutting times, but would it place the couple in a position of debt to those who offered such kind favours for the future?

But how’s this for an excellent choice for such newlyweds – a totally private secluded island and with no future emotional debt to be paid back.

An island bathed in Indian Ocean warmth, tropical white sand beaches, full of unique wildlife and yet a safe and secure for such a romantic rendezvous for the bride and groom.

Fregate Island Private, it’s called, and the emphasis there is definitely on the private, an island certainly fit for a king and queen in waiting!

This resort island does host 16 secluded villas all with their own private pools, and butlers. But there is also Banyan Hill, a totally separate villa complex complete with its own private pools and discreet accommodation for their security team and any accompanying staff.

Access to this island is generally by helicopter; perhaps William may like to fly Kate in himself a sort of aerial version of crossing the threshhold? Or by Twin Otter plane for an interesting, rather hairy landing on the tiny grass airstrip with a tiny Creole air terminal planted at the end.

Other access is possible but it would have to be by water – the entrance to the tiny marina is possible and but it can be strictly controlled.

The residents of Banyan Hill have the most wonderful views over the coconut fringed island and ocean beyond.

Even if the there were other guests in the villas they would be totally unaware that there could be such celebrities close by, as even when full this special resort has so many places to visit or spend time at that you hardly ever see other guests anyway.

What could be described as royalty from the international film set did once try to book the whole island – Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie wanted it for themselves and their children, but some of the villas were taken and they cancelled as they wanted it all!

Not sure if William and Kate would take that route, as the seclusion of Banyan Hill could well be enough. However, other guests at Fregate thrive on the ‘private’ factor too. So a Royal wave from a passing solar charged golf buggy, the transport used by guests would go mainly unnoticed even here.

The Royal couple of course will live a life with butlers, although us mortals generally have to live life without them. But on Fregate and Banyan Hill each villa has a dedicated butler to help with all facets of life on the island over-seeing and cooking meals where and when you would like them or arranging your own personal programme for you.

William and Kate could enjoy breakfast on their extensive terrace, take lunch at the island summit and, to complete the day, a candle-lit romantic dinner perhaps on one of the seven beaches.

There is a private and secluded beach, which the guests operate on a strictly first come, first served basis.

A tiny wooden sign proclaims ‘Beach in Use’ and if displayed you have to wait for the guests using the beach to turn it around to allow access.

‘Anytime, anywhere’ is very much an unwritten the rule on Fregate. Staff provide a level of service that exceeds most five-star destinations.

William enjoyed his wildlife experiences in South Africa and he and his bride could certainly enjoy a wildlife experience on Fregate.

There is even a team of environmental experts permanently based there monitoring the island’s habitat and fauna.

The island is blessed with unique creatures which are some of the rarest on the planet. When the giant Fregate Tenebrionid Beetle was first discovered naturalists thought it was parts of various ones stuck together, but it turned out to be the only one of its type. It only lives on this tiny granite island and nowhere else on Earth.

The Seychelles Magpie Robin is on the list of the top 50 rarest birds in the world, and a programme to eradicate imported mice and rats from the island has helped its number to grow from around only 20 to more than 100. The island is its largest territory with only a few birds on nearby islands to help boost the gene pool.

William did come to grips with a huge rock python in Africa – here he could perhaps meet a Wolf Snake. Perfectly harmless but somewhat mis-named, it should be called a Gold Snake as it was pretty, gentle and not a wolfish scale to its name, it had more the look of a gold necklace.

Other wildlife to encounter are Giant Tortoises, Giant Millipedes, and the tiny skinks and lizards that abound, all quite harmless and the latter may even join you along with many of the tiny birds that seem to hunt you out, rather than the other way around at alfresco meal times.

Perhaps the Royal couple could take in some sailing, snorkelling or diving. The seas are blessed with stunning shoals of tropical fish or you can go further out and try sport fishing for giant marlin, swordfish or dorado.

With some handy helicopter air taxi flights they could visit nearby islands such as Cousin, a wildlife reserve to see close up nesting birds, like the pure white Fairy Terns or watch baby turtles make their way to sea.

The Valleé de Mai on Praslin, a World Heritage site, is only a 15-minute flight away and visitors can see where the largest nut in the world flourishes, the slightly erotic ‘Coco de Mer’. La Digue is also just 15 minutes away by air. Its famous stone outcrops and beaches are often featured in fashion and travel magazines.

Fregate promises romance and relaxation and can without doubt deliver.

But if the new Royal couple do not make it their choice, for £2,800 per room per night you could make it yours for a real taste of paradise… that is just half a day away!
