North Island Resort

North Island is not really a hotel in the accepted sense of the word, it is more a traditional African Safari Lodge, with stunning chalets which are mostly open-air, merging with the lush vegetation.

The twelve individual Chalets are the design of architects Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, a husband-and-wife team from South Africa. They have created a unique design concept which gives each Chalet a ‘Robinson Crusoe’ 5 Star ambience.

North Island epitomises the Seychelles. Idyllic white sandy beaches, lush tropical vegetation all against a backdrop of grey granite.

North Island is a private island measuring approximately 1.5 km in length with three granitic outcrops dominating the island. Between the three outcrops lie three areas of flat coastal plains or plateaux, with two freshwater lakes being formed in the middle of the Island.

Scuba diving on the surrounding reefs, snorkelling off the beaches, deep sea and fly-fishing, mountain biking and boat trips to other surrounding islands are ways to fill your days.

A health spa, gymnasium, library, wine cellar boasting numerous fine and rare wines and heated seawater rock pool, sauna or hot tub add to the many other facilities available.

North Island is our choice for those seeking to enjoy 6 star service and facilities whilst at the same time being part of this amazing environment rather than being shielded from it.

There are three main beaches on the island - at any time one of these beaches is guaranteed to be sheltered from the prevailing winds. Honeymoon beach where a small ‘sundowner bar’ is located, certainly lives up to its name! – A coral powdery beach fringed by coconut palms overlooking a deep azure blue Ocean.

Accommodation

Twelve exclusive villas, handcrafted from local island timber with thatched roofs. Each consists of two rooms, is over 450 square meters, and can accommodate 4 adults. There is also a writing and changing room, and a huge bathroom with Balinese marble bath and an outside shower.

The second bedroom doubles as a study and has DVD/CD and internet access. The two rooms are separated by a lounge, kitchenette, sun deck and private plunge pool.

You get the 24 hour services of your own butler and many guests enjoy all their meals right in the villa, prepared by expert chefs and presented with the highest level of service. Alcoholic beverages (except premier items on the exclusive "Premier List") are at no additional charge. Each villa has a huge bathroom and outdoor shower along with a private massage area.
