Seychelles
North Island
North Island, a member of Relais & Chateaux, lies 15 minutes by helicopter from Mahé. Arriving by air is a unique moment in itself!
The 11 villas, hidden from one another amid the vegetation, were built from local materials salvaged on the island during its rehabilitation, along a private beach. The footprints you’ll see in the sand will be yours, and yours alone. Renowned worldwide for its romantic setting, the island offers total privacy and exclusivity.
The resort has two restaurants, one serving refined cuisine and a beach restaurant where you can dine with your feet in the sand.
An infinity pool overlooking the ocean is also available.
Children are welcome at North Island. A program of activities has been specially designed for them, including treasure hunts and GPS tracking of turtles.
With only 11 villas, each offering more than 450 m2 of space and a butler service anticipating and attending to your every wish, North Island provides an exceptional setting for a dream stay. The villas have everything needed for comfort, including a stunning bathroom with outdoor shower and granite bathtub, a terrace with ocean views, and a small private pool.
A spa overlooking the Indian Ocean is available to guests.
North Island offers numerous land and water activities including scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, sunset boat trips, paddleboarding and surfing, and trail exploration in the cool, serene forest, unless you'd rather relax on the fine sandy beaches. North Island's philosophy is to create unique, authentic moments and memories that will stay with you forever, ensuring that every experience is truly tailor-made.
Climb the granite outcrops, explore hidden coves, or simply spend time enjoying your villa, which is a genuine delight.
North Island is a sanctuary for some of the world's most pristine landscapes. Work carried out under the conservation programme known as Noah's Ark has helped protect the Seychelles' endemic flora and fauna. You can swim with endangered sea turtles or watch them come ashore to lay their eggs. You might even spot giant Aldabra tortoises if you set off to explore the island. Or the extremely rare Seychelles paradise flycatcher, which hides in North Island's lush forest. Join a hike during which guides will tell you the island's history and the measures taken to protect its environment.
