Description

“We bought North Island in recognition of its potential as a Noah’s Ark; a sanctuary where natural habitats could be rehabilitated and where critically endangered Seychelles fauna and flora could be re-introduced and given a place to regenerate. North Island is the most interesting conservation project we have ever undertaken. It is very seldom that the opportunity arises to make such a significant and positive impact on a region, a specific area, its wildlife and surrounding environment.” (North Island)

At this amazing location (only) 11 guest Villas have been built to harmonize with this unique environment.. They offer the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experience The villas measure 450 square metres and each Villa has been individually handcrafted by Seychellois and African craftsmen on the Island, using wood, local stone, glass and with thatched roofs. They are raised over a metre off the ground to catch the cooling island breezes The luxuriously proportioned master bedroom with change-room and writing area leads onto a large en-suite bathroom with marble bath and two showers, one indoor and one outdoor. The bedrooms are air-conditioned and all rooms have overhead fans. The fully retracting sliding doors allow for uninterrupted views onto the lawns and the turquoise seas in front of each Villa. There is satellite television, a DVD/CD system and Internet access. The kitchen leads off the lounge/dining area. A private plunge pool and sala are the finishing touches in this private sanctuary.

There is a “no menu” concept of dining on North Island and the chef, David Godin, speaks to each guest, explains the North Island cuisine concept, finds out personal food preferences and then develops the menus daily around this information.

This is a truly unique destination offering a rare slice of tropical island magic.
