Each North Island villa has two bedrooms, a master bedroom and a second bedroom, for world class accommodation in Seychelles hotels. Whilst a villa may be primarily occupied by one or two guests, you may have a requirement to use the second bedroom for children or friends and this is available at an additional cost. Alternatively, you can convert the second bedroom into a study. The lounge and dining area have an adjoining kitchenette.
The villas measure 450 square metres (4,890 square feet) giving you plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a unique, private, island-style experience to the full.
Self-contained, and with a luxuriously proportioned master bedroom, the villas each contain change-room, writing area leading onto a large en-suite bathroom with a marble bath and two showers - one indoor and one outdoor, and and twin vanities. A separate toilet and bidet leads off the main bathroom.
Bedrooms are air-conditioned and all rooms have overhead “punkah punkah” fans. The fully retracting sliding doors allow for uninterrupted views onto the lawns and the turquoise seas. Each villa has 200 square metres of outside decking, a private plunge pool and a covered 'sala'.
The villas have been individually handcrafted by Seychellois and African craftsmen on the Island from wood, local stone and glass, and are raised over a metre from the ground to catch the cooling island breezes. Thatched roofs complete the magnificent design.
There is satellite television, a DVD/CD system and Internet access and all villas have 2 x land lines, one in the study and one in the main bedroom. The kitchen leads off the lounge/dining area. A private plunge pool (all villa pools have pool nets) and sala are the finishing touches to your private sanctuary.
Villas one to nine are nestled discreetly in the tree-line, facing onto Anse d'est Beach. Villas ten and eleven (Villa Royale and Villa North Island respectively) have been designed differently to accommodate the incline along the extreme northern side of the Anse d'est Beach and are secretly tucked away in the takamaka forest.
The beach views from these Villas are truly spectacular from every angle and it is this, together with the unique manipulation of the design, that separates these two remarkable villas from the rest.
Culinary Concept
North Island Villas promises a memorable culinary experience, complemented by an impressive cellar with some of the world’s great wines and champagnes. The wine cellar allows you, under the guidance of experts if so required, to select a vintage to suit your palate.
Besides its exceptional beauty, North Island has long been renowned for its fertility and also for the richness of the fishing grounds that surround it. It is not surprising, therefore, that North Island’s lodge should draw upon these exceptional natural resources. North Island cuisine is based on the very finest natural products lovingly prepared in a sumptuous array of exotic dishes.
Kitchen staff tend the vegetable and herb gardens prior to harvesting so that only the freshest food combinations reach the table in the dining environment of the your choice - whether on the beach, in the Villa, restaurant or Sunset Bar.
The cuisine of North Island is based on the diversity and cultural influences which, in part, make up the Seychellois Creole flavour. Culinary aspects of Africa, France, southern India and south east Asia are combined with the tropical, organic resources of North Island and the abundance on offer from the Indian Ocean. Balanced together with simplicity, you can expect a feast that will awaken all of your senses.
There is a “no menu” concept of dining in the restaurant i.e. the chef, Geoffrey Murray, speaks to the guest upon arrival, explains the North Island cuisine concept, finds out their food preferences and then develops the menus daily around this information.
North Island Spa treatments cover facial and body care, body envelopments and finishing touches. In addition to these treatments, each spa therapist is trained to provide a consultation aimed at designing a personalised spa experience for your stay on North Island. Treatments that relieve stress, are suited to after-exercise, detoxify, cleanse and purify, refresh and rejuvenate and provide the finishing touches before you take leave of North Island.
