Today: Tips for booking a stay at North Island Seychelles<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Known as the holy grail of luxury travel, North Island Seychelles<\/a> is one of the world\u2019s most exclusive getaways (along with the Soneva Resorts<\/a>\u00a0in the Maldives & Thailand,\u00a0Time + Tide Miavana<\/a> in Madagascar, The Brando in French Polynesia, and Laucala Island in Fiji). You can read my review of North Island here<\/a>, or watch my YouTube video below.<\/p>\n

Located 30 km (18 mi) \u00a0from Mah\u00e9 (the main island in the Seychelles), North Island occupies its own private island. There are just 11 ocean-view villas hidden amidst 201 hectares of exquisite natural beauty, each with private plunge pool and direct access to the beach. The granitic island is also a sanctuary for endangered species: luminous beaches and clear blue seas welcome nesting sea turtles, and the palm forests are home to giant Aldabra tortoises and rare Seychelles white-eye birds. Activities on North Island Seychelles range from snorkeling, diving, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing and sunset cruises to exploring tropical trails by foot, bicycle or private buggy. The resort is magnet for the rich and famous since Prince William and Kate spent their honeymoon on North Island in April 2011.<\/p>\n

North Island Seychelles enjoys a stellar reputation and it is priced accordingly, making it easily one of the most expensive hotels in the world. Rates start at a hefty $6,000 USD per night, excluding 21% in VAT and service charges. You can even opt for more expensive package rates that include half or full board, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and water activities. On top of the nightly rate, you\u2019ll still have to pay extra for the transfers by helicopter (from Mah\u00e9), most spa treatments, and full-day excursions. However, there are some tricks to save some money when you consider booking a holiday at North Island Seychelles, and surprisingly, you can even stay here for free.<\/p>\n
