North Island, a Luxury Collection Resort, Seychelles is located some 30km from the main island of Mahé, Ile du Nord, or North Island, and enjoys private isolation within the Inner Island group of the Seychelles.
Its luminous white beaches surround a tropical interior of coconut palms and takamaka trees in turn cradled between three granite outcrops, and surrounded by the azure ocean. Such natural beauty is added to by thoughtful and environmentally friendly architecture. North Island offers an up-close-and-personal experience with some of the most beautiful creatures in nature.
To arrive at the resort, guests will be required to take a short 15 minute helicopter ride from Mahé International Airport.
The resort's activities are centred around The Island Piazza - the natural focal point of the Island, where elegant buildings cluster about a magnificent Indian almond tree. Hidden from the lounge and dining area is the main pool, a 45m long pool that looks over the pool deck to the horizon of the sea, creating views of heartstopping beauty.
The resort is also housed with many excellent facilities and hosts a variety of activities such as beach movies, rock climbing walls, fitness trails, dive and activity centres, ensuring that guests can thoroughly indulge themselves in a host of activities within the resort itself.

Villa North Island
Perched on granite boulders at the far end of East Beach, this expansive 750 sqm, One-Bedroom Villa North Island offers the quintessential in privacy.
Across its 750 sqm of tiered levels that cascade through a coconut grove to the beach, it provides an array of intimate spaces to relax in, featuring a master bedroom, separate living and dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The villa features a grand and spacious master bedroom that comes with a sofa bed and a luxurious king-sized bed with luxury linens for a comfortable rest while you gaze at the magnificent views. Whilst the Villa is primarily occupied by one or two guests, additional spaces can be converted to sleeping areas for children.
Adjoining your master bedroom is a separate lounge area that features plenty of relaxation space and a dressing table. The high floor-to-ceiling sliding doors can be fully retraced to allow for uninterrupted views onto the lawns and the turquoise seas in front of each Villa, and guests can also relax in the outdoor terrace to take in the relaxing views.
This space is set up as a luxurious, air-conditioned lounge room with deep, slouchy sofa beds in crushed velvets, linens, chenilles and complemented by woven coffee tables where you can take your tea or an island snack. At night the lounge can be changed into a private cinema complete with projector, screen and surround sound.
Your villa also features two separate bathrooms; one is a large en-suite bathroom with a oversized sunked bath, in addition to separate showers and double vanities.
Aside from your outdoor terrace, this villa also features an additional outdoor space.

Each villa has an electric buggy and bicycles for your total convenience, allowing you to cruise effortlessly and (almost) silently along the island’s sandy tracks and reach West Beach Bar or Honeymoon Beach. Quiet and emission-free, the Island buggies are entirely in keeping with the resort's philosophy of Island conservation.

The open-plan layout and ample space invite you to move and breathe a little deeper. Each villa is a harmonious blend of effortlessness and designer consideration. Natural materials, tactile finishes, artisanal furniture, and fittings. The open-concept living room area features plenty of relaxation space and uninterrupted views onto the lawns.
The villa features a grand and spacious master bedroom that comes with a sofa bed and a luxurious king-sized bed with luxury linens for a comfortable rest while you gaze at the magnificent views.

Dining
The resort offers an unmatched level of personalization and generosity to each guest, particularly with the culinary experience. Daily menus are designed according to the latest Island harvest with special consideration being given to your favorites along with any dietary requirements you may have.
The Piazza
The Piazza offers gracious candlelit dining with the gentle sounds of the ocean setting the scene for a romantic evening. Situated where the ocean meets the Island, the food offering in the Piazza draws on the freshest ingredients from both land and sea to give you a sumptuous dining experience.
The chefs give free rein to their imaginations as they are inspired by the seasons and flavours of Seychelles and the world beyond. A favourite dish is squid ink linguine with lobster, freshly caught red snapper, langoustines and local octopus – perfect with a cold glass of fruity Chardonnay.
The Piazza seamlessly extends on to the beach to give you a range of al fresco dining options, in the shade of a towering takamaka tree by day or underneath a milky canopy of equatorial stars by night.
Sunset Beach Bar
This is no place for haste, so let the mixologist create a B.O.B. Mojito for you as you unwind. A North Island twist on the classic cocktail with Island grown passion fruit, mint, and small bitter local oranges planted on the Island centuries ago by pirates seeking a place to bury their plundered treasures. A plethora of internal cuisine is up for selection as you sip on a cocktail.
Kick off your shoes and let the sand run between your toes – you’ve discovered the “rough” side of North Island, the perfect counterpoint to the Piazza experience, and an evening you will want to enjoy at leisure.
