A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Consistently acclaimed as one of the world’s most exclusive escapes, North Island a Luxury Collection Resort Seychelles sets the global benchmark for refined island living. Since its original debut in 2003, the property—nestled on a 201-hectare granite island—has maintained its intimate scale of just 11 opulent villas, yet its amenities and personalized service continue to evolve to anticipate the desires of discerning travelers. Rising 180 metres above the turquoise waters, the island is enveloped in lush rainforest and offers unparalleled seclusion just a scenic 15-minute helicopter transfer (27 km) from Mahé.
The resort is thoughtfully designed for families and couples seeking privacy and adventure. Ten expansive two-bedroom villas (each 450 sqm) are ideal for multi-generational getaways, while Villa North Island (No. 11) offers an ultra-private 750 sqm sanctuary for couples. Each villa is meticulously curated with bespoke furnishings, a private plunge pool, and direct access to one of the island’s four pristine beaches, each with its own unique character and allure.
At the heart of the resort, the elegant piazza features a curated library, state-of-the-art dive centre, boutique, and an open-air bar and restaurant serving innovative cuisine crafted from the freshest local ingredients. The breathtaking 45-metre infinity pool blends seamlessly with the Indian Ocean horizon. In keeping with its eco-conscious philosophy, North Island is car-free, with guests exploring by bicycle or electric buggy. A highlight of every visit is the immersive Environment Centre, where guests engage with the island’s award-winning conservation initiatives, including the preservation of the iconic Aldabra giant tortoises that freely roam this sanctuary.
