The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have left for a two-week honeymoon in a secret hideaway in the Indian Ocean.

The newlyweds will stay in an exclusive villa that costs £4,000-a-night and is said to be located on one of the most beautiful and romantic islands in the world.

The Duke and Duchess are believed to have flown out by private jet yesterday before being taken by helicopter from the mainland to the tropical retreat.

Stocking up: Kate was seen shopping for provisions at Waitrose shortly after the celebrations

William's car was apparently seen leaving Anglesey, north Wales, yesterday accompanied by a police Range Rover piled high with luggage.

A spokesman for St James's Palace said he would not confirm their honeymoon destination, although according to reports, the couple may have headed for the Seychelles.

The country is made up of more than 100 palm-fringed islands.

The spokesman added William has taken two weeks leave from operational duties.

'We are not confirming and we are not commenting on speculation on where they may be going on their private honeymoon, we are just confirming that they have gone,' he said.

'The couple have asked that their privacy be respected during their honeymoon.'

Two Scotland Yard protection officers checked the destination three weeks ago to ensure it would give the couple the privacy they crave.

The Mail is not publishing details of the location, and it is understood that not even Kate was aware of the exact destination until the last minute.

The resort, which is surrounded by coconut groves, offers almost complete isolation. Its white sand beaches are bathed by crystal-clear turquoise waters and are a sanctuary for sea turtles.

If the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the Seychelles for their honeymoon they could well be heading for an idyllic location they visited four years ago - the island of Desroches

Only a handful of luxury villas are dotted across the island. Hand-crafted from local wood, strapless ruffled dresses prom each has an open-air bathroom area with sunken bath and shower, a private garden and a wooden deck with freshwater rock pool and yoga pavilion.

There is a butler on hand in every villa, and a personal chef will conjure up a daily menu based on freshly-caught fish and whatever delicacies the couple wish.

The area is an eco-haven and while snorkelling, kayaking or diving are encouraged, its tranquillity is preserved with a ban on jet skis and similar watersports.

The couple were seen taking off from Buckingham Palace the day after their wedding

A source said: ‘It’ wedding dress boutiques wedding dress boutiques;s one of the most incredible places you will ever visit and Kate will have the time of her life. It’s everything you could want from a honeymoon destination and more – beautiful beaches, tropical seas and complete privacy.

‘The Prince’s protection officers flew out to check it out and their villa has been booked and confirmed.

‘It’s a real Robinson Crusoe kind of place. There are some beautiful hikes, but if you can’t be bothered to walk a golf cart will transport you. They will also deliver you a picnic with ice-cold drinks.

‘If you fancy some company there is a little beach bar and a restaurant. Most people, however, prefer to eat meals brought by the butler on the privacy of their deck while watching the sunset.’

Like everyone else he works with, Prince William had to apply to take time off before the wedding

During the weekend after their wedding, the Duke and Duchess enjoyed a ‘mini-moon’ at a mystery location in the UK.

They flew in the Queen’s helicopter from Buckingham Palace on the day after their nuptials for a two-night break.

Clarence House refused to reveal their destination, or issue official pictures of the honeymooners. Previous royal newlyweds, including Prince Charles and Princess Diana and the Queen and Prince Philip, all posed for photographers.

The secrecy sparked a nationwide guessing game with alleged sightings of the couple from the Isles of Scilly to north east Scotland.

On their return from their honeymoon, the couple face a ten-week separation as William is sent to the Falkland Isles to further his helicopter training.

Partners are banned from joining those serving in the South Atlantic, so Kate is unable to travel with William to the remote post.

Kate is said to have been disappointed by the news. 'They have known about the Falklands for several weeks, but Kate was very upset when she first heard,' a source told the Sun.

'It is an awful way to start married life, especially hard because it destroys the first magic of being together.

'William could probably pull some strings and get out of going. But he is determined to be treated like any other search and rescue pilot.'

William, a flight lieutenant in the RAF's Search and Rescue squad, is to be sent to the Falklands to fly a Sea King helicopter short sleeve cocktail dresses women , completing training that will allow him to be promoted from co-pilot to pilot, a move he is determined to make.

Reports suggest that William is keen to focus on his RAF career, to the extent that he may even be trying to gain enough flying time to be considered for a combat role in Afghanistan, although this is a move that may be blocked due to his status.

It was widely expected that the couple would be going on honeymoon straight after their wedding but it was announced that the Duke would be returning to work at RAF Valley on Anglesey before the trip.

Despite his status as second in line to the throne he had to apply for leave like his colleagues.

He was given a week off for the wedding but was told that he would have to split any further holiday requests – hence the delayed departure date.
