North Island

A private granite island where conservation, forest, beaches and seclusion come together.

North Island is a small granitic island northwest of Mahé. It is known for its conservation-led approach, dramatic granite landscape, native vegetation and highly private visitor experience.

Conservation First

Restoration on North Island has included efforts to remove invasive species, restore native vegetation and improve habitat for indigenous wildlife. Conservation is an important part of the island’s identity and visitor experience.

Granite, Forest & Beaches

Granite Landscape

Steep forested terrain and granite formations create a distinctly Seychelles landscape.

Coastal Nature

Beaches, coastal forest and surrounding waters provide opportunities for walking, swimming and marine experiences, depending on conditions.

Wildlife

The island’s restoration work has helped create healthier habitats for native species.

A Very Private Escape

North Island is privately operated with a small-scale luxury accommodation model. Transfers and activities are arranged for guests, so this is not a conventional day-trip destination.

For the wider luxury cluster, see Private Island Resorts in Seychelles, Luxury Hotels & Resorts and Luxury Transfers.

Did You Know?

North Island stood in as a filming location for the 2004 live-action Thunderbirds movie, with additional scenes shot in the Vallée de Mai on Praslin.

Before You Go

Because access and activities are closely managed, confirm current accommodation, transfer arrangements, weather policies and any conservation-related visitor requirements before travelling.
