George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin have jetted to the Seychelles for their honeymoon.

The newlyweds, who got married in Venice, Italy last weekend, are reportedly staying at the luxurious resort on the North Island, which can only be accessed by helicopter.

A source close to the 53-year-old actor told gossip website X17Online.com that he secretly organised their romantic trip to the remote Indian Ocean paradise after his good friend Brad Pitt recommended it.

The insider said: “George and Amal were looking for the ultimate, private getaway and I believe it was Brad who told him to go to this resort.

“It's one of the most beautiful places on earth and George wanted to show Amal something even more amazing than Venice.

“It was the only place that could top off such an elaborate wedding.”

The eco-friendly tropical haven, developed in 2003, is comprised of 11 villas with private plunge pools, and has four beaches, one of which is fittingly called Honeymoon Cove.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine also spent their honeymoon there in 2011, while Brad and his wife, Angelina Jolie, have holidayed there in the past. - Bang Showbiz
