Dragonfish Island Holiday

Indulge yourself at one of the most exclusive retreats in the world. Fabulously luxurious yet incredibly laidback, there’s nowhere quite like North Island.

Dragonfish Island Holiday: Summary

Dragonfish Island Holiday in a nutshell

Whether as the ultimate safari-ender or a stand-alone Indian Ocean getaway, castaway romance or luxury adventure with the family, it doesn’t get much better than four nights on North Island.

A little over 2km long and 1km wide, Ile de Nord is a swift helicopter flip from Mahé. Touching down on paradise, you’ll be welcomed by some of the fantastic team here and shown to your presidential villa, nestled among trees facing one of the island’s three beaches.

From here on, the island is yours to explore whenever and however it takes your fancy. On land, take your buggy, bikes or simply walk to sugar-soft sand and follow trails to meet the lumbering giant tortoises that are lucky enough to live here year-round; you can learn about the Noah’s Ark Island rehabilitation programme too. Set out by kayaks or paddleboards on warm Indian Ocean waters, and explore the vibrant reefs beneath by snorkel or from the island’s dive centre. Boats open up neighbouring islands and fishing trips, or you can simply relax at the spa. A range of activities especially for children can also be organised.

Dining on North Island is completely personalised – and is always an experience. In your villa, beach-side restaurant, lounge or in a private secluded spot, enjoy menus that change daily with the latest island harvest. The wine cellar has plenty to discover too!
