Luxury Holidays At North Island

Described as the ultimate in 'Robinson Crusoe' living (although Crusoe didn’t get to arrive by helicopter), this private island combines the concept of barefoot luxury with a light ecological footprint. With just eleven villas located a stone’s throw from the beach, all with their own private butler, this is a true hideaway, ideal for honeymoon couples (weddings can also be arranged here), for those seeking a secluded sanctuary or even for families and larger groups wanting to make a united escape. Conservation without compromise is a dominant theme and the vast suites offer every luxury, including generous private pools sunk into the deck, while indigenous plants and birds are returning to the island after many years of absence.

Why North Island is so special...

Luxury Beach

With inimitably white sand that feels like powder beneath your feet, along with utterly transparent, topaz-coloured water, North Island is a true paradise boasting four private beaches. Lie back beneath the sun on the stunning East Beach, a ribbon of gleaming sand, before heading to West Beach for a sundowner cocktail with spectacular views of the pastel-coloured sky. Take to the glorious waters on a kayak or paddleboard, or encounter a colourful underground kingdom as you snorkel along enchanting reefs. Due to the glorious conservation programme here, prepare to meet charming turtles as they nest along the shore.

The Seychelles forms part of the world's longest coral reef system and has some of the world's best scuba diving, with numerous dive sites having been identified around North Island and its nearest neighbour Silhouette Island. The Dive and Activity Centre at North Island offers both the novice and the experienced diver alike, a "guided" scuba experience with dive masters who are not only experts in scuba practices but also in the underwater universe.

Climate

The Seychelles boasts year-round sunshine, though showers can be expected anytime. Heavy rains are more likely to occur between November and March, while swimming in the sea is not possible at several of our resorts between May and September.

Due to the small size of the islands, the climate remains calm with temperatures varying little throughout the year. Seasons are controlled by the trade winds; from May to October, the southeast trade winds bring cool winds, lower humidity, lower rainfall and lower temperatures (on average 24°C); the time between October and November is a bit of transitional period until the north-west trade winds arrive, bringing with them warmer temperatures (31 °C), higher humidity levels and more rainfall, the amount of which, varies from island to island. As most of the islands lie outside the cyclone belt the Seychelles do not experience extreme weather conditions.

The best diving conditions are between March and May and between October and November. Divers can expect to see an array of fish species, including Angel Fish, Butterfly Fish and Sweepers in the shallow inshore reefs. Soft corals and gorgonian fan corals can be seen at dive sites such as the Canyon, while larger fish, such as Giant Groupers and Ribbon-tailed Stingrays, can be found at more remote sites.

Spas

For many, a spa treatment is a vital ingredient for the perfect holiday; soothing, calming, healing and relaxing. Recognising this, resorts and even tiny island boutique hotels, all feature a large pleasuredome or bijou spa. Treatments can range in duration from short 30-minute and hourly therapies, to all-day rituals, many incorporating the healing properties of plants, flowers and the ocean into the products used.

Spas
Golf

Constance Lemuria golf course overlooks not one, but three glorious beaches and a stunning expanse of the Indian Ocean. An 18-hole par-70 championship course, it presents a challenge to amateurs and professionals alike. The first twelve holes are at a low level, but from the thirteenth hole, the course ascends to higher levels and offers magnificent ocean views. Hotel guests enjoy complimentary green fees, whilst equipment hire, lessons and club cars (required due to the course’s terrain) are all available for hire.

Golf
Vallee de Mai National Park

The Seychelles is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll, and Praslin’s Vallée de Mai, a primeval palm forest once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden and home to a collection of rare plants that flourish nowhere else on Earth. Walk through the amazing palm forest and discover the endemic coco-de-mer (sea coconut) – these trees are the bearers of the largest nut in the world, often referred to as ‘love nuts’ or the ‘double coconut’ due to their appearance. The forest is also home to the Black Parrot, the national bird of the Seychelles, which owes its existence to the palm forest.

Vallee de Mai National Park
Victoria

Victoria might be one of the smallest capital cities in the world, but it has plenty to offer visitors. Head over to the Natural History Museum for a complete account of the islands’ past; stroll through the Victoria Botanical Gardens, where amongst the spice and fruit trees you’ll find a population of Giant Tortoises, Fruit Bat colonies and an orchid house. The outdoor market is a colourful display of shops and stalls selling local herbs and spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as souvenirs. Visit the market in the early morning to watch fishmongers display an incredible variety of seafood.
