North Island is a private island - an amazing spot for the ultimate beach honeymoon or holiday.
The beaches are classic powder-white sand, often lined by palm trees …
… and always virtually deserted.
Inland North Island used to be an old coconut plantation; it still has thick palm forests.
It is large enough to be worth exploring, but small enough to get around swiftly.
North Island is not just about visitors; it is about conservation too
It has a growing population of the rare Seychelles giant tortoise.
Conservationists have done much work here, reintroducing rare species...
...including a small group of rare, endemic bird: Seychelles white-eyes.
Back to more earthly pleasures, this is North island piazza, beside the stunning East Beach.
It serves a fine line in cocktails – all complimentary – from the well-stocked bar …
… and around here is a great place for a small group to enjoy a quiet dinner.
These are so few people, and a wide choice of comfy corners to occupy for a drink or a bite.
The library hosts regular evening talks on ecology...
… but most activities start from the beach, from snorkelling …
… to diving and sport-fishing.
In the evening watch the beautiful sunset while dining at the beach...
...or enjoy the changing colours on a sunset cruise around the island.
