Cousine offers an exclusive tropical island experience and a level of holiday privacy to be found in very few places on earth.  A 15-minute helicopter flight from Mahé (5 from Praslin) brings you to this stunningly beautiful 25-acre granite island.  Ringed by turquoise seas, privately-owned Cousine is a nature reserve, home to rare birds and breeding turtles.  Guests are accommodated in four well-appointed and secluded villas just a stone's throw from the ocean, each with sea and island-facing verandas.  The island's chefs serve delicious cuisine - and you can dine a deux at the water's edge.  Walks with Cousine's resident conservationist (perhaps to view the turtle-hatchings from November to March) are a highlight of the unique Cousine experience.  The Beach House is home to a gym and the new tropical Ligne St Barth Spa.
