If eco-friendly, and preserving nature’s flora and fauna matters as much to you as does luxurious travel and indulgence, then call off the search. This is the place for you.
Fregate Island is truly unique made up of just 16 exclusive residences (and one estate!), in an incredibly remote setting. More than 2,000 giant aldabra tortoises roam freely, thousands of tropical birds find sanctuary, and you’ll be able to rejuvenate and relax (with the purest of conscience) among breathtaking beaches regarded as the most beautiful in the world. Sounds like paradise, right? The reality isn’t far off…

Although there is indeed a massive nod toward the eco-tourism feel, that’s not to say your accommodation is without high-end luxury. The villas all offer private butler service, infinity pools, and all the mod-cons you’d wish for in a luxury hotel. If one of the 16 villas isn’t quite enough – you can go all out and opt for the Banyan Hill Estate experience (or indeed, hire the whole darned island!).
Coming in three different sizes, these all offer a private terrace, Jacuzzi, dining pavilion and infinity pool. Oh, and exceptional views of course! Some have direct beach access but all can be easily configured for parties of adults and children.
Overlooking the harbour is a secluded complex which brings together three separate sleeping villas (for up to six adults and three children). Enjoy more open plan living space than you’ll know what to do with, plus a fully serviced kitchen.
If you just don’t like to share, then there is one more option… ask for the whole lot. The Fregate-island live-in staff will cater to your every whim, so you just have to provide them with a guest list and required features and services, and let them do the rest.
Unique and secluded, the Fregate Island is four degrees south of the equator and is one of a gathering of 115 paradise-esque islands. It’s a good hour by ferry from the main airport on Mahé, or 20 minutes by helicopter, but it’s because of that distance from the rest of the world that you’re getting the opportunity to live out your holiday in such preserved and natural environments, surrounded by endangered turtle and the like.
Fregate Island has a very unique attitude to its food-service approach. It believes that you should be able to eat whenever, wherever. With that in mind, this is not a place where you’ll feel particularly tied to dining times or to specific restaurant offerings. Locations include a treehouse restaurant, the yacht club, or cruises and picnics. Alternatively – you can be pampered in your own villa.
Hardly surprisingly, conservation is an issue and an opportunity which crops up on the activity programme for Fregate Island, allowing you to take nature walks into the eco-system or go for a guided educational hike. More traditional leisure activities include using the gym facilities, swimming, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking and even PADI certified diving courses. Golf can be sourced for you too.
No, no, no – that doesn’t mean you can set the kids adrift from the shore of Fregate Island! Castaway is the top-notch kids' club designed by the resort to keep young minds and bodies busy, while also making them understand a little more about their holiday environment.
Kids from three to 12 are welcome, and they get to take part in trails and treasure hunts – seeking out all sorts of animals and wildlife – plus enjoy picnics and games tied in with the theme of the remote location. Expect chatterbox children to download antics to you afterwards.
