The island is a private nature reserve and is home to five of the Seychelles endemic bird species, one being the Seychelles Magpie Robin, which has a population of only 70 birds left in the world, 12 being on the island. This island is a conservation success story where the rehabilitation of a rare and different species is at the forefront of the activities of the island. The island is not for those seeking nightlife and organized activities. There are only 10 guests at any time on in this lovely villa.

Accommodation:

Accommodation consists of four large (175 sq.m..) air-conditioned villas built in the Old French Colonial style, nestling amongst natural vegetation, just thirty meters from a pristine beach. Each villa is positioned to ensure maximum privacy. Each villa provides luxurious comfort with front and rear patios, a spacious bedroom, dressing room, separate lounge, large bathroom with Jacuzzi, his and her shower. Each villa is equipped with a refrigerator, ice machine, tea and coffee making facilities, satellite TV, video, CD/Cassette player, telephone, personal safe and hair dryer. The villas enjoy some of the best sea views in the Seychelles.

Dining:

The food is essentially local. There are a variety of meals offered and they are served in healthy portions. As the sun begins to rise and the bird population begins their day, you are greeted with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. A breakfast of your choice is served. We offer a Continental or English breakfast with a wonderful choice of fresh fruit to accompany your breakfast. Lunch is served at your convenience and at whatever time is suitable to you. You have the choice from our wonderful menu or if you desire something lighter, just mention to the chef or manager and if available we will accommodate your needs. Dinner is something to look forward to. Dining in the main pavilion, you are treated to a four-course menu or if dining in your villa in total privacy is what you require, this can be arranged if you notify the manager at lunch. At your request dinner on the beach is a romantic option.

Activities & daytrips:

Spend your days lazing on an exquisite white beach surrounded by striking granite outcrops or observing the fauna and flora in their natural surroundings. Also provided at an additional cost are the services of excursion tours to the neighbouring islands, diving and guided conservation walks to experience the Magpie Robin and other endangered species first hand.
