Hilton Seychelles Northolme perches on the north coast of Mahe at Glacis, a hillside of villas stepping down to a small beach and clifftop views over open water. It is one of the oldest and most romantic resort sites in the country, adults-focused and intimate, which makes it a favourite for couples who want atmosphere over scale. We filmed Shabi and Stefan marry here, and you can watch their film on this page.

The setting
Northolme is all about its position, villas built into the rock above the sea, a small cove below, and long views out over the water that turn gold in the late afternoon. For a wedding it trades a vast beach for drama and romance, headlands and clifftops and open horizon, which photograph beautifully. It suits couples who want a grown-up, atmospheric day rather than a big resort production.
Marrying here
A wedding at Northolme is a legal Seychelles ceremony performed by the registrar on the beach or a terrace, with the paperwork handled so it is valid at home. The resort is intimate and adults-focused, which lends itself to elopements and small weddings, and if you marry just the two of you we provide the legal witnesses. Hilton's team can arrange the setup, and we come as photographers and filmmakers, or we plan the whole day with SeyBooking.
How we work with the resort
Clifftops and open sea are a filmmaker's dream at golden hour, and we plan the portraits for the moment the light comes off the water. Whether Hilton arranges your day or we do, we capture the romance without getting in its way. Watch Shabi and Stefan's real Northolme wedding on this page, then tell us your date and we will plan around that clifftop light.
