What was supposed to be a top-secret soon grabbed the media’s attention and led to a sort of frenzy among his admirers when the details of their post-nuptial luxury vacation started making rounds on the internet. The paparazzi revealed it was an insanely expensive honeymoon for newlyweds at the North Island resort. But what is so remarkable about this Seychelles resort?

Well, for the uninitiated, North Island hotel with sea view has earned a name for being one of the most expensive hotels across the globe. On the 462 acres of land, the private resort offers a choicest range of 11 private villas, each dotting 5,000 square feet of area with separate plunge pools.

It seems to be the favorite hideaway of A-listers like Brad and Angie, actress Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband, François-Henri Pinault, who also chose it as their after-wedding getaway. Celebs seem to enjoy this hotel for its home-away-from-home ambiance, privacy, services, facilities, rooms and location.

Her engagement with George in 2014 may have been the first time when people learned about her existence. But Amal was already successful in her profession by then. She is one of the renowned London barristers, practicing international human rights law dealing with forces like ISIS. She is the inspiration for many young women of today who want to carve a path for themselves in unconventional fields like her.

While they seem to share the most loveable equation between each other, their marriage life is an example of how two strong and successful individuals can also get along and spend countless happy moments together. Both are accomplished personalities in the truest sense – Clooney ‘a world’s most desirable bachelor and celebrated actor,’ whereas Amal ‘a human rights lawyer.’

They created many magical moments together, from the time they married in 2014  to the luxury vacation they spent at a dreamy hotel with a sea view. Their nuptial journey took another pleasant turn when they gave birth to the twins Ella and Alexander in the year 2017. 

Clooney, an old-school romantic, loves to write letters to his wife, and she also does the same even when they are in the same house, to express their emotions for each other. They plan a weekend getaway every year where only two of them go without kids. However, before taking off, the couple leaves a handwritten note for each child with a date on it.

Isn’t this too sweet of them? Even after seven years of marriage, the power couple continues to enjoy one another’s company. Their trust and love feels unbelievably surreal. May the duo keep creating happy moments in their lives and spread cheers all around through their example. Amidst this season of the pandemic, they can be one of the most positive distractions for sure.
