At a glance
North Island is an ultra-exclusive Seychelles private-island resort, with just 11 villas, a bespoke all-inclusive stay, and a pioneering conservation program.
North Island is a private granite island in the Seychelles, 30 kilometers north of Mahé and is reached by helicopter. Once a plantation, it has been restored into a conservation sanctuary, the ‘Noah’s Ark’ project that has brought back giant tortoises and nesting sea turtles.
The villas are vast, around 450 square meters 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.
It is about as private and romantic as the Seychelles gets, a honeymoon island, gay or straight, 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.

Accommodation
Beachfront Villas on North Island
North Island has ten Beachfront villas. They’re located on East Beach and offer direct access to the beach and ocean. Each villa is very private and surrounded by ocean views.
The layout is open-plan. All the furniture is artisan-made and impeccably stylish.
completely screened from view by careful siting in harmony with the natural vegetation, ensuring total privacy as well as ocean views. Each villa is 450 sqm (almost 5 000 square feet).
Villa North Island
Also known as Villa 11, Villa North Island is the best choice if you really want to spoil yourself. At 750sqm (just over 8 000 square feet), it’s nearly palatial in scope. Coconut groves lead to the beach. A concealed entrance leads you along a leadwood bridge to the property. You’ll struggle to find a more decadent honeymoon setting.

Dining
Dining is all-inclusive and built around the guest rather than a set menu. On arrival, the chef talks through what you like and plans from there, drawing on a Michelin-starred consulting chef and produce grown on the island. Meals can happen almost anywhere: in your villa, at The Piazza on East Beach, at the Sunset Bar, or set up privately on a quiet beach or sandbank. Wine and drinks are included throughout.
Wellness
The Spa at North Island is set among the trees, with treatments that lean on island-grown botanicals, and these can also be brought to your villa. The wider sense of wellness comes from the setting itself: a 42-meter main pool, a private pool at every villa, four quiet beaches, and almost no other guests. Yoga, swimming, and long unhurried days do the rest, with the island’s calm built into the whole stay.
Activities
Conservation runs through the experience. Guests can join the resident environmental team at the island’s environment center, plant a native tree, or watch green and hawksbill turtles nesting in season. Out on the water, the diving and snorkeling are excellent, with reefs and granite drop-offs close in, alongside fishing, kayaking, and sunset cruises. On land, there are guided island walks, bikes, and quiet beaches at each point of the compass to claim for the day.
