Overview

The
number one choice for the Seychelles! North Island guarantees you a magical Robinson
Crusoe mood and memories.
Long-uninhabited, this stunningly beautiful and private granite island
(20 minutes by helicopter from Mahé) offers its privileged guests exclusive
luxury and a sense of true Zen 'barefoot living' – with the bonus of superb
snorkelling and diving. This island
is also the protected habitat of such species as turtles, corals and reef fish,
and a resident ecologist can acquaint guests further. North Island is the place where discerning
castaways anchor, simplicity and style unite and no news or sense of time
exists!

Villa
The
Lodge itself has just 11 Villas (and a larger 4-bedroom Royal Villa),
individually designed to provide the ultimate in seclusion and comfort.
Beautifully integrated into the natural granite boulders and rocks of the
shoreline, and making use of local casuarinas and takamaka wood, each boasts 450
square metres of living space and private garden.
Each
Villa has been individually handcrafted by Seychellois and African craftsmen on
the island. The principle materials
used were wood, local stone, glass and thatched roofs. All this combines to form a warm and
inviting space that offers guests that rare opportunity to relax
completely. Each Villa is
completely self-contained and is raised over a metre off the ground to catch the
cooling island breezes.
The
air-conditioned study can also convert to a second bedroom. The living-area
(half-open to the elements - but with protective blinds!) also enjoys wide views
of the glorious setting, while a private freshwater rock pool, sala pavilion and
large hand-crafted panoramic wooden deck all add further memorable touches.
A
luxuriously proportioned master bedroom with dressing room and writing area
leads onto a large en-suite bathroom with marble bath and shower. The bedrooms are air-conditioned and all
rooms have overhead ‘punkah punkah’ fan.
The fully retracting sliding doors allows for uninterrupted views onto
the lawns and the turquoise seas in front of each Villa. Especially impressive is the open-air
bathroom area – with sunken bath and shower, as well as a second outdoor shower.
Each Villa enjoys private butler service.

North Island Villa
North
Island Villa is completely unique in its setting, has been designed to
accommodate the incline along the extreme northern side of the Anse d'est Beach and is secretly tucked away in the
Takamaka forest. The beach view
from this Villa is truly spectacular from every angle and it is this, together
with the unique manipulation of the design, which separates this remarkable
Villa No: 11 from the rest.

Restaurants
The
Restaurant
Besides
its exceptional beauty, North Island has long been renowned for its
fertility and also for the richness of the fishing grounds wherein it nestles.
It is not surprising, therefore, that North Island’s lodge should draw upon these
exceptional natural resources. The cuisine is based on the very finest natural
products lovingly prepared in a sumptuous array of exotic
dishes.
The
cuisine of North
Island is based on the
diversity and cultural influences which, in part, make up the Seychellois Creole
flavour. Culinary aspects of Africa, France, southern India and south-east Asia are combined with the
organic resources of North
Island and the abundance on offer from
the Indian Ocean. Balanced together with
simplicity, expect a feast that will awaken all of your senses.
There
is a ‘no menu’ concept of dining in the restaurant i.e. the chef speaks to the
guest upon arrival, explains the North Island cuisine concept, finds out their
food preferences and then develops the menus daily around this
information.
Island
meals are complemented by a choice of exotic dining settings. The 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, complemented by an impressive cellar with some of the world's great wines
and Champagne.
