North Island is a sanctuary, in harmony with nature, surrounded by warm tropical waters in colours of blue and aquamarine. A Noah's Ark, where natural habitats have been rehabilitated and endangered Seychelles fauna and flora reintroduced, and given a place to regenerate.

In this beautiful island escape we have built an exclusive luxury lodge using materials reaped from the rehabilitation process. This refuge unashamedly aims at providing the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experience.

Eleven guest villas and a health spa have been exquisitely designed to celebrate nature and offer an authentic home-from-home experience.

We have endeavoured to capture the true essence of North Island - a rare encounter that is in harmony with the environment and one that touches the lives of our guests, inspiring them long after they have left.

Villas :
Each villa is a home for a couple or family, lovingly and individually handcrafted by Seychellois and African craftsmen from wood, local-hewn stone and glass.

With a ylang-ylang thatched roof, the villas melt into the environment. Island textures and comfort blend, piles of cushions, plump luxurious towels and walls carved with enticing patterns.

Nothing interrupts the feeling of serene solitude. Massages in the privacy of the villa, delectable meals on the deck and a private pool with reedcovered sala.

Each villa is a sanctuary, your own domain, a warm inviting space in which to relax and enjoy a complete sense of ease and freedom.

Island Piazza :
A warm and genuine welcome awaits at our Piazza, the natural focal point of the Island. Elegant buildings cluster around a magnificent Indian Almond tree.

The architecture celebrates nature with lines that lead the eye to uninterrupted views. The furnishings symbolise lightness and escape and a wide deck leads seamlessly onto the beach and the endless horizon.

The complete openness of the lounge and bar area is transparent and minimalist, yet offers a high degree of comfort.

The library, a custodian of history and former times, enfolds the reader in quiet reflection with its walls of white beach-rock and arched openings. A short step away nestled into the hill lies the swimming pool, a meandering vision of white stone plaster that mirrors the colour of the sand, while the water matches the sea.

Island Activities :
Whether you prefer to be active or just want to relax and unwind, the island offering is about fitting in with your interests and desires.

There are several hiking trails which are easy to follow, either on your own or with one of our environmentalists as a guide. Mountain bikes are a wonderful way to explore the island, or sea kayak along our gentle shores.

Game fish and corals are plentiful just off the island - snorkelling or scuba diving in warm aquamarine waters is a lift for the spirit. There is excellent fishing for game fish just off shore, or our boats can be used for leisurely day trips to other islands.

An evening cruise complete with an Indian Ocean sunset is the perfect way to finish the day.

North Island Spa and Gym :
Our Spa is a place of exquisite natural beauty and timeless relaxation. A rich luxurious experience in which to be pampered. Surrender to the sound of the ocean lapping gently - in touch, in tune, and at peace.

To rejuvenate the mind, body and soul requires holistic treatment and a spa devoted wholly to such pursuits.

North Island has aligned itself with ESPA, a holistic spa , with a commitment to innovative products and treatments that work effectively. Personalised treatments relieve stress, detoxify, cleanse and purify organically and naturally.

The North Island spa experience is about getting in touch with one's consciousness and senses.

North Island - Beaches :
Four idyllic beaches offer sanctuary all year round. East Beach extends off the piazza and in front of the villas. As the sun sets, West Beach is washed in pastel colours and the Sunset Bar is the perfect place for a relaxing evening cocktail. Honeymoon Cove is an idyllic hideaway and Petit Anse offers shelter and seclusion.

Conservation and Island Rehabilitation :
On the island, both the soul and the natural habitat are restored. With ample fresh water, North Island is a fertile paradise - the perfect setting for our Noah's Ark conservation programme.

Indigenous plant species have been grown in our nursery and then transplanted to restore lost island habitat. Rodents have been successfully eradicated and we are thrilled that sea birds have recently been enticed back to breeding grounds that they used long ago.

We have 15 baby tortoises and there has been a wonderful increase of turtle numbers coming to nest on our beaches. Our effort to rehabilitate the island has taken time, but to our great joy it is beginning to bear fruit.

dining and cuisine Besides its exceptional beauty, North Island has long been renowned for its fertility and the richness of the surrounding fishing grounds. We draw upon these exceptional resources to prepare a sumptuous array of exotic dishes.

The cuisine of North Island is based on the diversity and cultural influences which make up the Seychellois Creole flavour. Culinary aspects of Seychelles, France and southern Indian spices are combined with the organic resources of North Island and the abundance on offer from the Indian Ocean simply and beautifully balanced. Expect a feast that will awaken all of your senses.

There is a "no menu" concept of dining on North Island and our chef speaks to each guest, explains the North Island cuisine idea, finds out personal food preferences and then develops the menus daily.

Island meals are complemented by a choice of exotic dining settings. Our dining area is set against a backdrop of natural granite with superb views over the sea. Other locations include all the island's secluded beaches, the pool deck, West Beach bar and the privacy of your own villa. All in all, this is a memorable culinary experience at your own choice of time and place, complimented by an impressive cellar with some of the world's great wines and champagnes.
