Relaxation:
Frégate Island offers a host of activities on, in and under the water.
There are two freshwater pools and seven beaches - one of which, Anse Victorin, is renowned as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Discover another world while snorkeling, explore the ocean aboard a hobie cat or kayak, go game fishing aboard the island's launches, Fregate Bird and Little Fregate or take a boat trip to explore a remote island.
For those who prefer to stay ashore there is a fully equipped gym and an extensive library. Guests can also climb Mount Signal, with a summit of 125 metres, or enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Seychelles aboard a helicopter or a small aircraft.
Frégate's Cast Away Club keeps younger guests entertained with outdoor activities, crafts and cookery that immerse them in their own tropical island fantasy.

Experience Nature :
Frégate Island is home to some of the world's rarest
flora & fauna.
A total of 14 bird species are resident and breeding on Frégate including the magpie robin, downlisted from 'critically endangered' in 2005 largely as a result of the island's conservation actions.
Frégate is also home to a wild herd of more than 400 Aldabra Giant Tortoises, one of only three wild-roaming populations left in the Seychelles. Lucky guests may even witness a turtle laying her eggs in the sand, or the spectacle of up to 60 newly hatched baby turtles disappearing into the Indian Ocean at full moon. The Hawksbill turtle and Green turtle, both critically endangered, are also frequent visitors to the shores of the island for nesting and egg-laying.
Frégate has many varied and fascinating indigenous insects, in particular two species that are exclusively endemic to the island: the flightless Giant Tenebrionid beetle and the Enid snail.
The island's only native mammal is the 'Flying Fox', which survives solely on fruit, found in abundance in Frégate's lush tropical forests amongst species ranging from the rare Coco de Mer palm to the giant Banyan Tree.
The Rock SPA :
The Rock Spa is a haven of serenity, perched on a cliff-top plateau overlooking the sea.
Entered through a granite canyon, flanked by freshwater pools and cascading waterfalls, the spa celebrates the island's unique surroundings and embraces all elements of nature.
The finest holistic treatments from all over the world use ancient techniques from India, Australia and Polynesia with botanical treatments prepared from local ingredients.
Afterwards, relax with a glass of cool coconut milk, champagne or tea with fresh lemongrass and enjoy the view from the spa's sublime vantage point high above the Indian Ocean.
Marina :
Fregate's Yacht Club, Marina and PADI Dive Centre are situated on the lower plateau of the island, opposite the plantation.
Sailing and motorboats take guests to the numerous dive sites around the island. The marina overlooks a turquoise lagoon, protected by a small reef which restricts the waves and makes the beach here particularly safe for swimmers, snorkellers and beginner divers.
Family :
The Castaway Club is for children between 5 to 12 years of age. The Castaway Clubhouse is the meeting place for Frégate Island's Castaway kids. Importantly, it is a platform to educate and teach the kids (and parents) about the environment and conservation of our natural heritage. This is a rustic structure above Frégate House, and it's from here that all the activities will be co-ordinated. The clubhouse offers games, videos, craft material, books and much more.
During Christmas and Easter, we offer fun activities where children can make new friends, meet old friends, explore and enjoy the island in a safe and secure environment. A Castaway Activity Co-ordinator will be available at this time to supervise activities. Babysitters are advisable for children under 5 years of age who wish to visit Castaway Kids Club. Activities will be advertised in the 'Frégate Today' newsletter.
At other times of the year, Castaway Kids Club can be opened for families with kids. There will be no Castaway Activity Co-ordinator available at these times, however a Babysitter can be arranged with prior notice.
