Book the North Island with VIP Benefits

North Island features just eleven private guest villas, offering each guest an unparalleled sense of exclusivity and luxury. The villas have all been created from local materials harvested during the island rehabilitation process, balancing luxury and simplicity to form a signature architectural style called "barefoot luxury." Your villa will become your own private beach home. The colors evoke the marine environment, and the fusion of rough and smooth textures and simple and sophisticated forms combine to create an entirely authentic, contextual, and sumptuous sanctuary.

Your experience on this private island is completely customized to the holiday you are seeking. The rules on North Island are the ones you make yourselves: your schedule is only as full as you wish it to be, and the dress code reflects your own personal style.

North Island Dining Experiences - North Island offers an unmatched personalization and generosity to each guest, particularly with the culinary experience. Daily menus are designed according to the latest Island harvest, with special consideration being given to your favorites along with any dietary requirements you may have. The many dining venues on the Island lend themselves to various food experiences depending on your mood. The Piazza offers gracious candlelit, private dining with the gentle sounds of the ocean, setting the scene for a romantic evening. West Beach Bar serves up fresh hot pizza, salads, and tapas-style barbecue snacks, all perfect for sharing as you watch the sunset, lingering over a cocktail, and relaxing music. 

The in-villa dining experience is all about comfort, food, and choice. Enjoy the diverse options within your generously stocked pantry or the home-style menu, with a local Creole curry or classic dish of your choice delivered to your door while you relax in the privacy of your own villa. The chef will always discuss the menu with you and will effortlessly create your special requests to give you a completely personalized dining experience, should you prefer. The culinary team will strive to spoil, surprise and delight you.

The Piazza Restaurant - The Piazza offers gracious candlelit dining with the ocean's gentle sounds setting the scene for a romantic evening. This is the ideal venue for a sophisticated date night and showcases the "smooth" aspect. Situated where the ocean meets the Island, the Piazza's food offering draws on the freshest ingredients from both land and sea to give you a sumptuous dining experience. The chefs give free rein to their imaginations as they are inspired by the seasons and flavors of Seychelles and the world beyond. A favorite dish is squid ink linguini with lobster, freshly caught red snapper, langoustines, and local octopus – perfect with a cold glass of fruity Chardonnay. It's not unknown for turtles to emerge from the ocean and nest on East Beach during lunch or dinner at the Piazza, adding a unique dimension to your meal. The Piazza seamlessly extends onto the beach to give you a range of al fresco dining options, in the shade of a towering takamaka tree by day or underneath a milky canopy of equatorial stars by night.

West Beach Bar - West Beach Bar serves up fresh hot pizza, salads, and tapas-style barbecue snacks, all perfect for sharing as you watch the sunset, lingering over a cocktail, and relaxing music. Kick off your shoes and let the sand run between your toes – you've discovered the "rough" side of North Island, the perfect counterpoint to the Piazza experience, and an evening you will want to enjoy at leisure. This is no place for haste, so let the mixologist create a B.O.B. Mojito for you as you unwind. A North Island twist on the classic cocktail with Island grown passion fruit, mint, and small bitter local oranges planted on the Island centuries ago by pirates seeking a place to bury their plundered treasures.

In-Villa Dining - The in-villa dining experience is all about comfort food and options. Enjoy the wide variety of snacks in your generously-stocked pantry or choose from the home-style menu, with a local Creole curry or classic dish of your choice, delivered to your door while you relax in the privacy of your own villa. We've taken the theme of comfort food and added a typically irreverent North Island twist – think childhood classics reworked to refresh your palette; dishes you know and love made just that little bit more fun.

Private Dining - North Island's 201 hectares of natural beauty offers a wealth of secluded spots perfect for romantic moments for two, or special memories shared as a family. From the privacy of your expansive villa where you can dine overlooking panoramic ocean views to the romance of Honeymoon Beach, a paradise reserved just for you and your private beach picnic – the choice of picturesque destinations is endless. Enjoy champagne and canapés over a bonfire while watching the sunset from the rugged beauty of The Cross at the base of Spa Hill, a light lunch on the edge of the main swimming pool, candlelit dinner under the stars on the Helipad, a family-style barbeque in your villa with your private chef, a Créole dinner in the historic Library, or a private wine tasting with the sommelier in the cellar…Your bespoke dining experience can be enjoyed anywhere on the Island. The chefs will be delighted to discuss your precise requirements with you, and your dedicated Guest Experience Host and Villa Attendant will bring them to life. Let us spoil, surprise and delight you!
