North Island has just 11 villas — each one a private sanctuary with its own beach, plunge pool, outdoor shower and butler. The level of personalisation and service is unmatched anywhere in the world. The resort is all-inclusive and the food, wine and activities are all of the highest quality. It is the most expensive and exclusive resort in the Seychelles.
North Island has undergone one of the most ambitious ecological restoration projects in the world — the island's original ecosystem, devastated by centuries of human activity, has been painstakingly restored. Giant Aldabra tortoises, Seychelles white-eyes, magpie robins and other rare species have been reintroduced. The conservation work is extraordinary.
North Island has five extraordinary beaches — each one completely private and accessible only to the 11 villa guests. The beaches are pristine, uncrowded and extraordinarily beautiful, with fine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water and the extraordinary granite boulders of the Seychelles.
The reefs around North Island are among the most pristine in the Seychelles — the conservation work on the island has extended to the surrounding marine environment. The diving and snorkelling is exceptional, with extraordinary coral formations, abundant marine life and excellent visibility. The dive centre offers guided dives for all levels.
North Island is where Prince William and Kate Middleton honeymooned in 2011 — a fact that has made it the most famous private island resort in the world. The villa they stayed in (Villa 11) is the most requested accommodation in the Seychelles. The island's extraordinary beauty and privacy make it the perfect honeymoon destination.
North Island has a thriving population of Aldabra giant tortoises — the largest tortoises in the world. The tortoises roam freely around the island and encounters with them are one of the highlights of a stay. The conservation programme has been so successful that the island now exports tortoises to other islands in the Seychelles.
The helicopter transfer from Mahé to North Island (approximately 30 minutes) is one of the great travel experiences — the views of the Seychelles from the air are extraordinary. The helicopter lands on the island's private helipad and the arrival experience is unforgettable.
North Island is all-inclusive — all food, wine, spirits and activities are included in the room rate. The food is exceptional, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The dining experiences — on the beach, in the villa, or at the main restaurant — are all extraordinary.
