There are exclusive island resorts that offer privacy and impeccable service - and then there’s North island, a lodge in a distinguished league all of its own. Found in the ‘inner’ islands of the beautiful Seychelles, the natural beauty of the fauna and flora is exceptional and the talcum-powder beaches and gently lapping waves are both present and correct too. Climb the granite outcrops, explore the hidden coves or just spend some time enjoying your utterly blissful villa. This is a rare sanctuary for those seeking something unique in award-winning barefoot luxury. Even Prince William and Kate, who chose the island for their honeymoon, agree.
From $4,270 person/night
You might be rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, but North Island also has a sense of freedom that only comes when you’re truly relaxed – and that’s exactly what you’ll be after an afternoon on the island.
Take an evening stroll to the West Beach Sundowner Bar and let the mixologists create their famous home-grown passion fruit margarita whilst you wiggle your toes in the sand.
Depending on the time of year, swimming in the ocean isn’t always possible due to strong waves and currents.
The Piazza is at the heart of North Island. Located on the East Beach, where the feather-soft sand meets the ocean, it’s a melee of old stone buildings that house a library, dive centre, bar, boutique and restaurant. The entire area is open plan and the accents of driftwood, blown glass, coral and rope are totally natural and absolutely stunning. There’s also an Ayurvedic spa, in which the therapists will devise a dedicated relaxation ritual just for you. The food also deserves a special mention; despite the remote setting, only magic seems to appear from the kitchen.
Eleven opulent, hand-crafted villas sit alongside island palms right at the foot of the Indian ocean. Exquisitely decorated and luxuriously proportioned- retractable doors that lead out to a balcony overlooking the sand and sea, huge marble bathtubs, romantic writing desks, lounge areas, mini kitchens and private plunge pool terraced down with light wood makes this the flawless modern island sanctuary. Villas also comes with their own golf cart, allowing you free mobility to explore.

The waters in this area are filled with abundant sea life, and scuba diving or snorkelling is a must. There are also SUP boards and kayaks to use, buggies and bikes to zoom around the island on, and a fleet of sleek, state-of-the-art boats to cruise in. Most activities can be guided or unguided, so the level of privacy is completely up to you. In fact, you may simply want to pack a picnic and head to one of the hidden beaches, or talk a walk through the flora and see what you can discover…
