Here, top-end luxury is woven around dedicated eco-friendliness.
Location
Tucked among the Satellite islands of the Seychelles, North Island is a sanctuary of powder-white beaches, lush forested hills, and turquoise ocean.
Rooms
There are 11 villas in total: ten Beachfront Villas along East Beach plus the grand Villa North Island. Each villa is spacious, crafted from local materials harvested during the island rehabilitation phase, and designed for privacy, with private plunge pools, generous terraces, and seamless indoor-to-outdoor living.
Amenities
You’ll find an infinity pool that curves around granite boulders, a holistic spa, a dive centre, bars and restaurants including the Piazza Bar & Lounge and Sunset Beach Bar. Bicycles and electric golf buggies are provided so you can explore quietly. Guests love being able to choose whether to be active or simply let time drift by.
Activities
Snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding are all on the menu. You can take guided nature walks with the Environmental Team, watch turtles nesting, or stroll through restored forests. There are sunset cruises, yoga, and plenty of blissful moments just watching the ocean.
Sustainability
What makes North Island truly special is its “Noah’s Ark” Rehabilitation Programme: an ambitious conservation effort that has successfully removed invasive species (rats, feral animals) and restored forest habitats with native flora. Sea turtle monitoring has run continuously since 1998, with both green and hawksbill turtles nesting in growing numbers. The island also reintroduced endemic bird species (such as the Seychelles White-Eye), and carefully manages its vegetation via an on-island nursery.
