Victoria Beckham's eco anniversary

David and Victoria Beckham have splashed out £50,000 on a luxury eco-spa break for their tenth wedding anniversary.

The soccer star and the former Spice Girl - who wed in a lavish ceremony in Ireland on July 4 1999 - were keen to mark the occasion in style so flew out to a romantic retreat in the exclusive Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.

A source said: "They may have been married for a decade but Victoria and David are like a pair of newlyweds when they get time alone. They both moved heaven and earth so they could be together for this anniversary."

The couple - who have left Victoria's parents in charge of their three sons, Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, six, and four-year-old Cruz - landed in the Seychelles yesterday (02.07.09) and were whisked to their exclusive accommodation by helicopter.

Their island boasts pristine white sands and beach villas, with over 250 staff.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "To keep out any prying eyes, the stars will have a private plunge pool and thatched massage gazebo overlooking the sea. And a personal chef is on call to prepare meals around the clock."

The couple - who had initially been expected to celebrate the anniversary at Sir Richard Branson's exclusive Necker Island - are set to stay at the resort for 10 days.
