Bird Island, perched on the edge of the Seychelles continental shelf is the most northerly island of the Seychelles Archipelago and is situated 60 miles from the main island of Mahé. A 30 minute flight from Mahé by light aircraft gives the first stunning impressions of this tiny 170 acre coral cay. Shades of turquoise and blue warm Indian Ocean which define the reef and continental shelf contrast vividly with the 5km of soft, white sand and tropical green island vegetation.
The sight for the first time visitor is never to be forgotten and the return visitor eagerly awaits that memory. The east and south sides are surrounded by a protective barrier reef which is home to many varieties of colourful tropical fish and the rest is an open beach which offers superb safe swimming. Bird Island offers a magical holiday experience. Endless stretches of fine white coral sand beaches give a true ‘castaway’ feeling. The emphasis is very much on relaxation and informality. It is a true retreat from today’s busy world.

North Island is a sanctuary, in harmony with nature, surrounded by warm tropical waters in colours of blue and aquamarine. A Noah’s Ark, where natural habitats have been rehabilitated and endangered Seychelles fauna and flora reintroduced, and given a place to regenerate. In this beautiful island escape we have built an exclusive luxury lodge using materials reaped from the rehabilitation process.
This refuge unashamedly aims at providing the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experience. Eleven guest villas and a health spa have been exquisitely designed to celebrate nature and offer an authentic home-from-home experience. We have endeavoured to capture the true essence of North Island – a rare encounter that is in harmony with the environment and one that touches the lives of our guests, inspiring them long after they have left.
