We've been lucky enough to visit some of the most beautiful places and hotels on earth, but my husband and I were unamimous in our thoughts about North - unrivalled, full of surprises of the best kind, smiling-inducing magic at its best. We wholeheartedly disagree with anyone on here under-rating the management or service - we're in the industry ourselves... More

North Island has a lot of potential. However it seems that the present owner is not investing enough in maintenance of the property; while this is very much needed because of the tear and wear of the sun and sea. Also you can feel the place is undermanaged. An new and experienced Aman type of manager would help a lot.... More

We were very disappointed with the staff atittude. For example, they have arranged a boat charter and we spent the day without nothing to eat and only water to drink. Their atittude was " we have nothing to do with it, the boat belongs to a third party". When the helicopter tking us away was delayed the atittude was the... More

Thank you Marcos M for the feedback posted regarding your travels to North Island in February 2006. It is such a pity that you did not raise your concerns with us whilst you were on the island or shortly after your return home so we could attend to your concerns at the time. A great deal has changed since you... More

A truly unique place where there are 11 villas but you feel like you have the island to yourself. Unfortunately while we were there, we barely had sunshine... but we took advantage of the spa and the peace and quite. This place has no menu... you order and eat & drink whatever you like. But that was a bit of... More

The most amazing location -a secluded island in tropical waters with just 11 villa's -no crowds, empty beaches all to yourself and amazing views and experiences to be had. We ate like absolute kings with fantastic seafood and anything else your heart could desire. The snorkelling and scuba-diving were sublime, with turtles, rays, eels, sharks and more! Snagged a couple... More

Since there are only 11 villas on the island all the staff get to know you much better. Everyone is smiling and willing to accommodate your every need. The food was good, though I feel like they should have a proper menu instead of a set menu for everyday. The wildlife there is amazing, where ever you go you get... More

The place is exeptional and I agree with all the brilliant reviews. However, the food in the restaurant is average. And, most importantly, my friend had a significant amount of money stolen from the villa. Management was helpful and waived some of the bills. Just make sure you keep everything in a safe box provided.

North Island is a place of barefoot luxury for those seeking an unspoilt, spectacular tropical retreat. There are only 11 individually handcrafted guest villas on the entire island, each constructed to create a sensorial experience in surroundings of understated elegance and providing a unique atmosphere and distinct flavour of the Seychelles. Each villa has a study or second bedroom, creating the perfect space for children. All the villas are built directly on the eastern beach. A lounge, dining room and library, scenically located health spa and gym, world-class dive centre, and a rim-flow swimming pool are all built into a granitic outcrop. A sunset bar and restaurant are tucked away on the western beach of the island. Activities include mountain biking, gym, guided walks, snorkeling, fishing, boating, sea kayaking, and scuba diving. North Island has created a signature style that combines natural beauty with sheer luxury, a rare experience in harmony with the environment. It is thus an example of a sustainable ecologically-sensitive utilisation of a precious natural treasure. ... more   less
