The property
Four villas on a nature reserve
Cousine inverts the usual arrangement: the island is a strict nature reserve first, and the handful of guests exist to pay for it. Five species of seabird nest in enormous numbers, giant tortoises wander the paths, and hawksbill turtles nest on the single beach. Four French-colonial villas and one large residence hold everyone; there is a small spa and a chef, and days are built around the wildlife.

Four colonial-style villas plus the Presidential Villa. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself
Why people choose it
- 01
A spa on site
Treatments on the property — massage, spa, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.
- 02
Diving and snorkelling
Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.
- 03
A small island
6 rooms in total, so the beach never feels shared and the staff learn your name in a day or two.
