North Island

11 Villas

North Island features just eleven guest villas, 10 Presidential villas and a Villa North Island, all created from local materials harvested during the island rehabilitation process, where luxury and simplicity mingle to form a signature architectural style we call "barefoot luxury".

Your villa will become your own private beach house, set along East Beach and with direct access to the beach and ocean. Each villa is completely screened from view by careful siting in harmony with the natural vegetation, ensuring total privacy as well as ocean views. You’ve come home to your very own 450 m2 (almost 5,000 square feet) beach villa or your 750m2 Villa North Island– the perfect, harmonious blend of rustic, sinuous forms and sophisticated designer elements.

Facilities

  • Restaurants and Bars

    Island Piazza: The Piazza is the focal point of North Island, centred on an ancient Indian almond tree. The bar and dining area offer 360 degree views giving you the impression of having the forest and granite outcrops immediately behind you, and the powdery beach and Turquoise Ocean in front of you.Under the shade of a takamaka tree, the dining experience extends onto East Beach – a favourite nesting site for hawksbill turtles. The Piazza is so interwoven into the island ecosystem that turtles have been observed to nest on the beach as guests have been enjoying lunch. Eating at the Piazza is just one of many options on North Island. In keeping with our renowned dining philosophy, you can meet with the chef and have him create your own meal based on your specific requirements. Your North Island food experience can be arranged and enjoyed anywhere on the island. Daily suggestions from the chef, inspired by the finest seasonal produce and ingredients, allow you to eat whatever you fancy, and give the chefs' imaginations free rein as they are inspired by the colours, textures and flavours of Seychelles and the world beyond. West Beach Bar: Just as Spa Hill overlooking East Beach provides sublime sunrise views for early risers, so the bar at West Beach is the perfect place to end the day, sipping on a cool cocktail prepared by the North Island bartenders, as the tropical sun slips below the horizon. But the day doesn't end at sunset – the relaxed ambience at West Beach extends to the delicious bar snacks prepared over a charcoal fire or mouth-watering tapas selections as the waving fronds of coconut palms perfectly frame the warm hues of the dusky sky. Or why not spend the entire evening at West Beach, enjoying an al fresco seafood barbecue before the atmospheric drive home on your electric golf buggy – just watch out for Brutus and friends in the road!Wine Cellar: The wine cellar houses a comprehensive selection of fine wines carefully selected by our sommelier to complement the flavours of North Island's distinctive cuisine. The wine list includes some of the world’s top wines and vintages.

  • Beaches

    East Beach: Every villa has direct, discreet access to the Island's main beach, a ribbon of gleaming sand which runs almost the entire length of the island from the Piazza to Villa North Island.Honeymoon Beach: One of the world's most romantic beaches, thanks to its private location in a curve of the rocks. The ideal place for a long, lazy afternoon reconnecting.

  • Swimming Pool

    A short stroll from the Piazza through whispering palm trees brings you to the main 45m vanishing pool, a sinuous ribbon of water whose colours match those of the ocean (which it overlooks) and beaches. The shape of the pool was suggested by a meander between coconut palms and the granite boulders which give shape and substance to this ethereal island.
