North Island is one of the world’s most exclusive private islands, offering a peerless setting for the perfect barefoot-luxury hideaway. With only 11 luxurious villas hidden amidst 201 hectares of lush paradise, guests are guaranteed complete privacy and exclusivity. A short helicopter flight from Mahé International Airport will leave you feeling a million miles away. Once a plantation, the Island has since been transformed into a sanctuary for endangered species. Luminous white beaches and azure seas welcome travellers as well as nesting sea turtles; verdant palm forests are home to Giant Aldabra Tortoises and rare Seychelles White-eyes. Celebrating over two decades of sustainable ecotourism, North Island has turned back the hands of time through its pioneering ‘Noah’s Ark’ conservation programme, restoring the Island to its former glory. North Island boasts dramatic granite peaks and vibrant reefs. On land or water, activities range from snorkelling, diving, fishing, sunset cruises, kayaking, paddle boarding and surfing to exploring the cool calm forest trails by foot, bicycle or private buggy. Or simply relax on one of the four pristine beaches located at each end of the compass. Facilities also include the Spa, Gym and yoga deck, Main Pool, Library, Boutique, Activities Centre, Environment Centre, Wine Cellar, Piazza and West Beach Bar, as well as a plethora of private dining venues. The entire island is at your disposal. North Island’s philosophy is about creating bespoke experiences and long-lasting memories. Personalised service, attention to detail and a generous all-inclusive offering aim to spoil and surprise on every level.
