Fly into the Seychelles Islands where you are met and greeted and transfer to a nearby hangar for your helicopter ride out to the private North Island. The island is located just northwest of the more populated Mahe Island, and offers its guests an unmatched luxury vacation.

Your private villa this week offers spacious room with an open floor plan and private decks with views and access to the white sands of the East Beach. Each villa is elegantly designed with a color palette to match the island and sea tones, with artisan-crafted furnishings that create a blend of rustic and sophisticated elegance. Relax in your private villa, enjoy a welcome 'barefoot ritual' massage and cleansing treatment, and settle in to the laid-back island lifestyle.

Your time at North Island is free and flexible to mold itself to be your ideal vacation. Plan excursions as you feel the urge to be active and play. Pamper yourself in the spa or with a private picnic on the beach. Explore the island by bike, buggie, or on foot. Or simply relax in the white powdery sand and listen to the ocean waves roll in. No agenda is set for you here, but rather you create your own day's agenda. Customize your vacation to suit your activity preferences. The attentive staff are on hand to always help you create an island experience that is uniquely yours.

Included in your stay are a variety of excursions around the coral reefs and gentle waters of the island as well as on land. North Island offers scuba diving near the island and at the Silhouette sites, snorkeling, guided walks, fishing, boat excursions, beachcombing, and paddling. Spend time cycling the island or explore in your villa's private buggy. Opt for any of the spa or masseuse services for a holistic journey that rejuvenates your body and mind or try yoga with an instructor in the mornings. A full menu of treatments using calming herbal and sea-inspired ingredients is available at the spa or in your own private villa. A private gym is available for use as well. 

Other unique excursions possible from the island include full-day big game fishing or PADI certification, a visit to neighboring La Digue Island to explore breathtaking beaches, or wandering the colorful and bustling Creole-influenced city of Victoria, located on nearby Mahé Island. Another popular day trip excursion is to Praslin, the second largest island in the Seychelles. Here you can find an 18-hole PGA golf course and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vallée de Mai. This special ecological site and tropical rainforest was once rumored to be the Garden of Eden. Wander the trails spotting wildlife and finish with lunch at the breathtaking Anse Lazio Beach. You may also wander the art galleries on Praslin or visit interesting workshops on the island. Head back to North Island in time for dinner.

Each day is yours to plan as you like. Return to the comfortable and attentive service of The North Island team each day. Savor fine dining that utilizes the freshest ingredients and local items as they are in-season. Enjoy private dining...anywhere. You choose when and where you eat. Opt to spend the day at the PIazza on the east beach, or the west bar. Enjoy a romantic candlelit beach ambiance or opt to dine in private in your villa. The chefs cater to your preferences and dietary needs each day and keep you on your toes with surprises that delight your palette.

Enjoy your last morning on the island, soaking up the remains of the tranquil island life before you set out to return to the real world. Fly by helicopter back to Mahe Island for your return flight home.
