North Island, A Luxury Collection Resort

An exclusive private island tucked away in the northern reaches of the Seychelles archipelago, North Island is a sanctuary where raw nature and barefoot luxury carve out a rare kind of paradise. Home to fewer than two dozen villas, each thoughtfully positioned to protect the island’s fragile flora and fauna, it’s a fiercely private hideaway where the pace slows and your biggest choices are snorkeling with turtles, wandering pristine beaches, or simply losing yourself in solitude.

North Island isn’t just about luxury—it’s a leader in conservation and ecological rehabilitation, restoring native wildlife and habitats to their original glory. Sustainability here isn’t a buzzword; it’s woven into every aspect of the guest experience. The villas, crafted from natural materials and designed to flow with the sea breeze, blend effortlessly into the island’s lush landscape.

For those seeking unrivalled privacy, the entire island can even be hired, offering an exclusive playground where luxury meets wild nature with no interruptions. North Island pioneered barefoot luxury before it was a trend, delivering a quietly sophisticated escape that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Location

North Island, Indian Ocean

Perched in the northern part of the Seychelles archipelago, North Island is a mere 20-minute helicopter ride from Mahé, the main island. It’s far enough removed to feel like a world away yet close enough for effortless access. This private island oasis offers unparalleled seclusion amid turquoise waters, coral reefs, and powder-soft beaches. Beyond the island itself, the surrounding marine life is rich and vibrant, making every snorkel or dive an encounter with nature at its most pristine. For those who want to explore beyond the villa doors, nearby islands like Silhouette and Mahé await, but most guests find North Island’s untouched beauty more than enough to satisfy their wanderlust.

Your

accommodation

North Island offers a total of 11 villas, each designed to blend effortlessly with the island’s untouched surroundings. Ten Beach Villas sit just steps from the powder-white sands, each boasting open-air living spaces, private pools, and direct access to the ocean. Their natural materials and light, airy design keep the vibe relaxed yet undeniably luxurious.

Then there’s Villa North—the island’s standout property. With extra space, expansive decks, and a dedicated team on hand, it’s the ultimate option for groups or families craving privacy and exclusivity. For those who want the whole playground to themselves, the entire island can be reserved, turning North Island into the world’s most private luxury retreat.
