Dragonfish Island Holiday: Summary
Dragonfish Island Holiday in a nutshell
Whether as the ultimate safari-ender or standalone Indian Ocean getaway, castaway romance or a luxury adventure with the family, it doesn’t get much better than four nights on the 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 in, the island is yours to explore whenever and however takes your fancy. On land, take your buggy, bikes or walk to sugar-soft sand and follow trails to meet the lumbering giant tortoises that are lucky enough to live here year-round and learn about the Noah’s Ark Island rehabilitation programme. Take kayaks and paddle boards out on warm Indian Ocean waters and explore vibrant reefs beneath by snorkel or from the island’s dive centre. Boats open up neighbouring islands and fishing trips, or simply relax at the spa. A range of activities especially for children can also be arranged.
Dining is always an experience and completely personalized. In your villa, beach-side restaurant, lounge or in a private secluded spot, enjoy daily menus changing with the latest Island harvest. The wine cellar has plenty to discover too!
