North Island Seychelles
OVERVIEW
For honeymoons, hideaways and holidays with that little something extra, a private island in the Seychelles sounds a dream retreat. North Island Seychelles is such a place, located just a short helicopter ride from the main island of Mahe and home to just 11 spacious villas in a resort that is designed to make the most of its stunning natural environment.
Somehow marrying the perfect ingredients of romance, beaches, service and activities, this is the place to go for the ultimate break from reality. At only two kilometres square you’ve got everything you need right on your doorstep, but it’ll never feel crowded thanks to its relatively small maximum capacity – plus attentive staff, more than twice as many as guests. The Indian Ocean is tangibly close to each of the villas which all front directly on to the beach.
