Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1 North Island: North Island Resort (LD)
Arrive into Mahé, and connect with your helicopter flight to North Island. Arrive at the island, where you will be met by an Island representative and driven to your villa. The "barefoot luxury Robinson Crusoe" development on North Island is unashamedly aimed at providing the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services and facilities to the most discerning and privileged world travelers. The essence of North Island remains one of sustainable, ecologically sensitive utilization as a precious, natural treasure. The 12 guest villas have been lovingly handcrafted on the island from wood, local stone and glass, with thatched "alang alang" roofs. With a footprint of over 450 square meters, each villa is completely self-contained and comprises a luxuriously proportioned bedroom, a writing and change-room area with a huge en-suite bathroom, a large marble bath and an outside shower for those who can't get enough of the fresh island air. Air-conditioning, overhead "punkah punkah" fans and fully retracting sliding windows (for 270-degree views) provide a pampering environment for the enjoyment of the balmy ocean breezes. An additional study or bedroom is equipped with a DVD/CD system, internet access, and can also be arranged to serve as accommodation for children. The kitchen leads off the expansive sun-deck and covered lounge area. Guests can elect to enjoy their meals in their villa or in the Island's main dining area. A private plunge pool and sala completes the exclusive sanctuary within a sanctuary. A full butler service catering for your every need includes in-villa meals or delicious picnics on secluded beaches. Some of the possible activities possible on North Island include swimming and sunbathing on 4 private beaches, excellent snorkeling off the beaches, fantastic reef and wall scuba diving. Enjoy massage and health therapy in the Spa or in the comfort of your private villa. Visit the gymnasium, take nature walks with the resident ecologist, or go birding with the resident naturalist. Other activities include deep sea fishing, windsurfing, guided sea kayaking, hobie sailing, yacht charters, boating trips to explore neighboring islands, mountain biking, and golf at the 18-hole Lémuria Resort on Praslin Island (a private helicopter charter will be arranged at extra cost).
