A stunning private island paradise with 11 beautiful villas across its sandy shores

North Island in Seychelles is a remarkable testament to successful ecological restoration and a model for sustainable luxury tourism. With 11 separate guest villas on the island, it is the ideal luxury retreat for large groups of friends or families.

This small island, located approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Mahé, spans just over 200 hectares and is home to an exclusive eco-tourism resort with 11 luxurious villas. These villas seamlessly blend high-end comfort with a deep respect for the natural environment, epitomising “barefoot luxury.”

The island’s common areas are impressive and vast. Some highlights include a 45-metre infinity swimming pool built into the rocks, a large spa and fitness centre, and an extensive library. There are two excellent restaurants, as well as a lounge, dining room, and bar where guests can relax with loved ones. Moreover, to keep younger guests entertained, there is a large children’s playground and a play centre stocked with games and toys.

Those seeking to explore and learn about the island thoroughly can head to the Dive & Activity or Environmental Centres. At these centres, guests can immerse themselves in the island’s conservation programs, with opportunities to participate in activities like turtle monitoring and indigenous tree planting.

The 11 villas were constructed using materials harvested during the island’s rehabilitation, minimising environmental impact. Built directly on the beach and surrounded by natural vegetation, each villa allows guests to enjoy ocean views from their own little private slice of heaven. They all boast beautiful interiors and spacious terraces with private plunge pools for true relaxation.

The island’s flagship villa is the spectacular North Island Villa. Hidden away on a granite cliff on the northern side of Anse d’Est, it enjoys an elevated position with panoramic views. Measuring 750 square metres, it comprises a huge en-suite bedroom, a spacious lounge with an adjoining kitchenette, and a study.

The 10 Beachfront Villas each measure 450 square metres and comprise a master bedroom, a lounge with a kitchenette, and a study that can be converted to a second bedroom, ideal for families with children.

With its luxurious accommodations, extensive facilities, and host of environmental activities on offer, North Island is a remarkable destination where luxury and conservation intertwine. It is the perfect choice for a private island escape in the beautiful Seychelles archipelago.
