Seychelles
A private-island sanctuary of eleven villas, reached by helicopter, on its own granite-and-sand island.
Thirty kilometres off Mahé, North Island is a single private island given over to just eleven villas, each more than 450 square metres of timber, glass and stone with its own pool and stretch of beach. Once a Luxury Collection property, it now operates independently following a top-to-bottom renovation, and remains one of the most exclusive addresses in the Indian Ocean.
The mood is barefoot rather than formal: handcrafted villas, a conservation-led island where giant tortoises roam, and a level of seclusion that suits honeymooners and privacy-seeking families taking the whole island. Service is intuitive and all but invisible, and the rates match the rarity.
