As one of forty inner granitic islands of the Seychelles located
around the two main islands of Mahé and Praslin, North
Island provides a sanctuary for guests seeking
an unspoiled tropical haven of peace and tranquility.
The island offers four beaches that are located at each end of
the compass and is able to ensure a wonderful year-round
tropical beach and island experience. Facilities include
12 handcrafted air-conditioned guest villas. There are a central
dining room, lounge and library; a beautifully located health
spa and gym; a breathtakingly beautiful swimming pool hewn into
a granitic outcrop and a sunset bar and restaurant tucked away
on the western side of the island.
Each villa is completely self-contained
and comprises a luxuriously proportioned bedroom;
a writing and change-room area with a huge en-suite bathroom and
outdoor shower; overhead fans; fully retracting sliding windows
and mosquito nets. The master bedroom and change room is air-conditioned.
An additional study or bedroom is equipped with a DVD/CD system,
Internet access and can be rearranged to accommodate children.
There is a kitchen, sun deck and covered lounge area and guests
may elect to eat in their villas or in the main dining room. A
private plunge pool and sala
completes your private sanctuary within a sanctuary. A full
butler service caters for your every need from in-villa
meals to picnics on secluded beaches.
Activities include swimming and sunbathing on any of
the 4 private beaches, excellent snorkeling right off the beaches,
reef and wall scuba diving, massage and health therapy in the
Spa or in your villa, gymnasium, nature walks, deep sea and fly
fishing, windsurfing, guided and supported sea kayaking, hobie
sailing, yacht charter, boating trips to the neighbouring island,

This island paradise combines well with a luxury helicopter safari
in southern Africa. Enjoy an elephant

rail journey or a visit to a Private
