North Island
Luxury Resort
North Island is one of forty inner granitic
islands of the Seychelles that are located
around the two main islands of Mahé and
Praslin. These granitic islands and their beaches
are often referred to as the most beautiful
on Earth. North Island Lodge is a rare sanctuary
for guests seeking a gorgeous, unspoiled tropical
haven on a large and private island. With three
mountains, a small lake and four beaches that
are located at each end of the compass, North
Island is able to offer a year-round tropical
beach and island experience.
 All the structures
at North Island Lodge have been individually
handcrafted to give it a unique atmosphere
and the distinctly flavour of the Seychelles.
The main areas and all the villas are built
directly on the eastern beach: A lounge, dining
room and library, beautifully located health
spa and gym, world-class dive centre, and a
beautiful swimming pool are all built into
a granitic outcrop. A sunset bar and restaurant
are tucked away on the western beach of the
island.
There are only
11 handcrafted guest villas on the entire
island. Each villa is about 5000 square feet
in size, is completely self-contained and
comprises a luxuriously proportioned air-conditioned
bedroom with overhead fans, fully retracting
sliding windows with views onto the beach,
and a writing and change-room area with a
huge en-suite bathroom. Each bathroom has
a large bath, double vanities as well as
an indoor and outdoor shower. An additional
study or bedroom is equipped with a DVD/CD
system and Internet access if requested; this
room can be rearranged as a second bedroom
to accommodate children. Each villa has its
own mini-kitchen, a large sun deck and covered
lounge area, a private plunge pool and ’sala,’ all
of which creates a private sanctuary within
a sanctuary. A full butler service caters for
every need, from in-villa light meals to picnics
on secluded beaches. Each villa has its own
mountain bicycles and an ’island buggy‘ to
get guests around the island.
Activities
included in the tariff are: excellent snorkelling
right off the beaches, scuba diving to the
reefs around North and Silhouette islands
(as well as the use of the equipment from
the dive centre), nature walks, mountain
biking and the use of the ’island buggy,’ windsurfing,
sea kayaking, fly-fishing around the island,
hobie sailing and the use of the gymnasium.
Drinks and all meals are also included in the
tariff. Yacht charters, deep-sea fishing, golf
on Praslin (18-hole course but requires a private
helicopter transfer), massage and spa therapy
(in the spa or in your villa) are at additional
cost, as are drinks on the reserve list.
