North Island

North Island is one of the most beautiful islands on the planet. The island had been uninhabited for over thirty years but since 2003 it has become a rare sanctuary for both wildlife and the discerning traveller. The islands natural habitats are diverse and North Island is one of the few in the world that allows the natural fauna and flora to flourish. The nursery currently has over 130,000 rare indigenous Seychelles plants that have been germinated from seedlings, including 81 of the 108 rare Seychelles endemics. The "barefoot luxury" villas on North Island are unashamedly aimed at providing the very best in seclusion, location, accommodation and facilities. Eleven guests villas ensure each guest's privacy, but the essence of North Island remains a sustainable, ecologically sensitive utilization of a rare precious treasure.

Saint Anne Island

Saint Anne Island is the largest island in the Marine National Park off Mahe, with a peak reaching 800 feet. Discovered on Saint Anne's Day, it was the first place the early French settlers lived before colonising nearby Mahe. In its recent history the island has been used as a place of refuge for escaped prisoners and as a whaling base during the early 20th century. Up until 1992 it was used to house the National Youth Service where young people aged between 15 - 17 would spend some time living on the island as part of their state education. Now amidst the islands tropical unspoilt vegetation lie the 87 Villas of Sainte Anne Resort and Spa, Private Island.

Occupying nearly a mile of undulating coastline the only sounds are rustling palm trees and gentle waves lapping at white sandy beaches. Teeming with marine life the three beaches at Sainte Anne offer a unique experience of complete harmony and nature.
