ICYMI, Pia Wurtzbach just dropped a bomb: She and Jeremy Jauncey quietly tied the knot while on vacation at sunny Seychelles back in March 2023! It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Jauncey were wed on March 24th during a stunningly understated beachfront ceremony. The groom looked dapper in a simple white button up paired with his traditional Scottish kilt, while the glowing bride let her hair down (literally!) and wore a nude strapless semi-transparent lacy gown featuring a short train and thigh-high slit. We love that she went barefoot!

Pia tagged North Island, Seychelles in her Instagram reel, and of course we had to check out the picturesque location. According to its Instagram bio, Seychelles is "one of the world's most exclusive private islands" so we were sure the price tag would reflect that! The private island getaway features eleven private villas: ten Beachfront Villas and one Villa North Island. Altogether, guests are given direct access to the waterfront and an "unparalleled sense of exclusivity and relaxation."

Each of the ten Beachfront Villas measures 450 sqm (4890 sq. ft), with handcrafted furniture and an open floorplan giving guests enough room to spread out and enjoy the island life.

On the other hand, Villa North Island, also known as Villa 11, is the epitome of privacy. Perched on a granite cliff at the edge of East Beach, the 750 sqm (just over 8,000 sq. ft) grand villa is spread over multiple levels. Get this: There's actually a *hidden entrance*! Guests can walk through the coconut grove and step onto the wooden waterfall on the deck in order to head down to the sparkling white sands and turquoise waters, right by their door step.
Relax in an oversized marble bath perfect for sharing (it offers excellent sunrise views, too!) — the resort calls it "the ultimate North Island experience, the latest in grandness and romance." Sounds perfect for a wedding destination or honeymoon, tbh. Apparently, North Island does not offer a wedding package—they prefer to customize each couple's special day. preferring to treat each couple's wishes individually and arrange them to meet their specific requirements. They do offer select experiences for couples looking for that perfect beach wedding, though: A cocktail night at sunset by West Beach, a Michelin-star dinner in the privacy of your villa, and even the ability to reserve the entire Island for your sole use. Talk about the ultimate after party!

But all that special treatment comes at a price. To book a week's stay at North Island, be prepared to shell out 7,475 euros (or PHP 455,542.28) a night for a breakfast inclusive rate; Marriott members get a discounted rate of 7,252 euros a night. Multiply that by seven and you'll be charged a cool 44,854 euros (or PHP 2,733,497.43) to sleep in one of the ten Beachfront Villas, which are one-bedroom (1 King plus a sofa bed) beach front properties with an ocean view.
Want to upgrade your stay to the deluxe Villa North Island? Member rates with breakfast start at 11,526 euros (or PHP 701,884.64), while non-members are expected to pay 11,882 euros a night. That means a 7-day stay will cost you 71,293 euros (or PHP 4,341,442.10).
It looks like Pia and Jeremy enjoyed their private getaway prior to the wedding. Aside from interacting with the giant tortoise and giving us David Attenborough-worthy narrations, the couple also went on a helicopter tour of the island, and experienced an outdoor film viewing on the sand! And remember when Pia set the internet on fire after posting about her daily dose of vitamin C? "Kung may Vitamin D, mas happy." LOL!
