As the largest island in the Seychelles, Mahé combines granite peaks, dense tropical forest and curved beaches washed by the warm Indian Ocean. The island’s coastal roads wind past fishing villages, market stalls and quiet coves, while Morne Seychellois National Park offers hiking trails through misty hills scented with cinnamon and wet earth. Offshore reefs and calm bays create excellent conditions for snorkelling, diving and boat excursions, with clear water revealing coral gardens and bright tropical fish beneath the surface. In Victoria, colourful Creole influences shape the food, music and daily life, giving the island a more lived-in atmosphere than some of Seychelles’ smaller resort islands. Mahé balances natural beauty with local character, though travel between beaches can involve steep, winding roads.

North Island
Some 30km from the main island of Mahé, North Island, enjoys private isolation within the Inner Island group of the Seychelles. Luminous white beaches cosset a tropical interior of coconut palms and takamaka trees cradled between three granite outcrops, 110m to 180m in height, whose polished grey ramparts rise from the white sands and filigree reefs of the azure ocean.
North Island is a sanctuary where natural habitats, long neglected, have been rehabilitated so that endangered Seychelles fauna and flora could be reintroduced and given a place to grow and thrive. On this floating paradise, 11 guest villas have been built from local materials reaped from the rehabilitation process, where luxury and simplicity mingle to form a signature architectural style we call ‘barefoot luxury’.
North Island is a place that unashamedly aims at providing the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experience, yet has restored its environment to a place of verdant plenty – a Noah’s Ark afloat in warm tropical waters in colours of blue and aquamarine. The true essence of North Island is a rare encounter that is in harmony with the environment – one that touches and inspires the lives of all who walk her beaches, dive her waters and contemplate her beauty.
