The property
The most exclusive address in the Indian Ocean
North Island is a rehabilitation story as much as a resort. The island was farmed for coconut and overrun with invasive species; the Noah's Ark project has been restoring native habitat and reintroducing endemic species — Seychelles white-eye, giant tortoises, hawksbill turtles — for decades. There are eleven villas, each enormous, built from hand-crafted timber and glass, and the guest count is small enough that you can go a day without seeing anyone. It is the definition of price on request.
Where you sleep
2 villa categories
Eleven villas, all beachfront, each with private pool and buggy. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.
