brilliant, brilliant, brilliant my partner and I had just the best time we've been to lots of tropical islands/resorts, but this is the best - by a mile and a half the staff, the villas, the food, the environment, the service - all all fantastic stayed 5 days and our only criticism was the speed of our private whirlpool jacuzzi... more

I was looking for a an isolated, 5* island lodge, that encapsulated luxury, privacy, originality, and harmony with its natural surroundings. I spent 2 months on the internet in search of such a place, and it is surprising to find that very few places meet with these criteria. As it was in celebration of my 40th birthday, and given that... more

Quite simply the best place I have ever been on. I and my girlfriend feel so priviliged to have had the possibility to stay on North for a few days. I am sure we will be back some day. If you hesitate because of the price, which is understandable, all i can say is that I would rather stay for... more

Finally we have made it to North Island. Having waited a long time to spend 7 days over Christmas expectations were high ! In summary this is a wonderful island with beautiful amazing villas, without doubt the largest we have stayed in with wonderful indoor and outdoor areas. Spa treatments, especially the Balinese massage were superb. All of the staff... more

Stayed there for a few days (husband, wife, child). Airrival was by helicopter, arriving from the neighbouring island. Were received by a few barefooted friendly young men in golf buggies and taken to the probably 200 yards distant reception area. The villa was not ready yet. What would have irritated us normally was dealt with on North Island very friendly... more

On our way to South Africa for business we (my husband and I) decided to have a lazy break under the sun on the beautiful Seychelles. As we are going there probably only once we choose for the best available: North Island. It costs a huge amount of money so our expections were high. Well, North Island is beautiful. The... more

Absolutely and compltetly wonderful! We booked 5 nights at the end of an 18night stay in the Seychelles. Our 1st hotel the Sainte Anne resort had proved dissappointing in many ways and although less than half the price of North Island , it hadn't seemed value for money. So our hopes and expectations were sky high when we boarded the... more

My partner and I are travel writers. We've stayed at the wonderful Peninsula in Hong Kong and fell in love with Sabi Sabi in the Kruger. Yet as soon as we glimpsed North Island from a few hundred metres above - we were being dropped off by Helicopter Seychelles - we knew we'd hit the travel jackpot. Basically, North Island... more

We went to North Island during the last week of March. It's when the wind starts easing down and the sea is at its best. The place is absolutely stunning. A Paradise. A magnificent work of naturalistic architecture. The best pool you can think of. The staff is very efficient and friendly and they all do their best to make... more
