Located 15 miles north of Mahe, North Island offers you a unique Robinson Crusoe barefoot luxury paradise. The island measures 2.5 miles by 1 mile, an area of 210 hectares, and boasts 4 fabulous private beaches with excellent snorkeling and diving.

The Villas are handcrafted from wood, local stone, glass and ylang ylang roofs. With a ground floor area of 450sq meters, each villa is self contained having a luxurious proportioned air conditioned bedroom, en-suite bathroom with Balinese marble bath, outside shower and dressing area, second room as study or additional accommodation with outside shower, plus a spacious living area with sundeck. A separate kitchen allows for clients to have their meals prepared and enjoyed in their villa or in the main dining room. A private plunge pool and Sala completes your private sanctuary within a sanctuary.

Dining is of course a pleasurable experience, with the option of three restaurants serving a combination of South-East Asian and International Cuisine.

Full butler service caters for your needs including in-villa meals, or champagne picnics on a secluded beach.

The main pavilion area of the island has a superb dining room, gym and health spa offering a range of beauty treatments. Activities included are scuba diving, snorkeling, fly fishing, use of an island buggy, Hobie sailing and mountain biking.

North Island is a carefully preserved nature sanctuary supporting a range of endangered species of flora and fauna. The resident ecologists will be pleased to show off their research center as well as the nature walks around the island.

Because North Island has long been uninhabited, is extremely fertile, and has an abundance of fresh water, the owner's concept has been coined "Noah's Ark". The plan is to turn back the island's environmental clock two hundred years through rehabilitation and by re-introducing many of the critically endangered Seychelles species slowly over time, so that visitors are able to enjoy viewing some of this endangered wildlife.

Includes: All meals, drinks (except premiums), laundry, scuba courses and dives on house reefs, shore fishing, use of one North Island Buggy per villa, & use of non-motorized equipment including sea kayaks and mountain bicycles.
