The multi-award-winning North Island Hotel is a stunning sanctuary in the Seychelles – a luxury resort that plays its part in a pioneering conservation project to protect and rehabilitate the island’s flora and fauna. Here, critically endangered species from the Seychelles have been reintroduced and given a place to regenerate.

Guests have exclusive access to this remarkable island, with just 11 villas offering a home-from-home experience and nearly 5,000 square feet of space. Four-poster beds, huge sunk-marble bath tubs, giant double vanities and ample airy living spaces ensure a comfortable stay. There are spa treatments in-villa too, while the food all comes from local fishermen and the island’s own herb, fruit and vegetable gardens. A unique experience.
