North Island is an ultra-exclusive Seychelles private-island resort, with just 11 villas, a bespoke all-inclusive stay, and a pioneering conservation programme.
North Island is a private granite island in the Seychelles, 30 kilometres north of Mahé and reached by helicopter. Once a plantation, it has been restored as a conservation island, the ‘Noah’s Ark’ project that has brought back giant tortoises and nesting sea turtles.
The villas are vast, around 450 square metres in driftwood and natural materials, each with a private pool, kitchen, and living area. Dining is all-inclusive with no fixed menu, the chef building each meal around what you want, eaten in-villa, at The Piazza on East Beach, or on the sand. About as private and romantic as the Seychelles gets, a honeymoon island, with Honeymoon Cove among its four beaches, though larger villas suit families too. Service is barefoot and personal, the island shared between a handful of guests.
