North Island in Seychelles, a paradise of virgin nature

The Seychelles is a paradise for nature lovers. Located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, the islands are characterised by their unspoilt nature, with lush forests, stunning beaches and turquoise waters.

To preserve this treasure, the Seychelles relies on environmentally friendly tourism.

There are no high-rise hotels or huge tourist resorts on these islands, but rather small places spread out in the lap of picturesque nature.

The entire North Island is a resort and the resort offers 11 private villas.

Spread throughout the island to ensure guests' privacy, staff are always there to help, but guests feel like they are on their own private island.

Visitors can explore the island by bicycle, cart or boat.

A must-see is the Turtle Museum, where you can observe the oldest inhabitants of the North Island.

What is the most famous thing about the North Island in the Seychelles?

In addition to fishing, most of the Seychelles population has lived mainly on tourism revenues since the 1970s.

Gul Radegunda is one of those people who takes advantage of the untouched nature of La Digue Island, which still largely retains its natural brilliance.

The benefits to the environment are evident every morning when suppliers source squid stock for seafood dishes from catches straight from the sea.

A long scar adorns Ghoul's back, a souvenir of long fishing trips, perhaps for wahoo or tuna, his main job now noticeably less dangerous.

He and his wife work in a small liquor store in front of his house on the sparsely populated east coast of the island.

It offers fruit cocktails such as mango and banana, as well as coconuts, which are opened in front of it with a chisel.

This fruit comes from the many gardens spread across this island in the Indian Ocean.

Fruit cocktail stands on the road replace gas stations on this car-free island.

Royal Holiday on North Island in Seychelles

The eternal natural beauty of Seychelles is its main attraction.

Perfect, untouched beaches, covered in clear waters and shaded by palm trees are what you will be rewarded with if you travel to Seychelles. A number of the remote Seychelles islands are designated protected areas with two national parks, six marine national parks and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In fact, 42% of Seychelles’ total land area is designated for conservation, making it a world leader when it comes to species protection. One of Seychelles’ most stunning natural assets is the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, located in the heart of Praslin Island.

It is home to lush palm forests, unchanged since ancient times, including the rare Coco de Mer Palms.

The mysterious palm trees, endemic to the island, produce the largest seeds in the plant kingdom and are the source of many legends.

Another treasure found in the forests of the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve is the Seychelles black parrot, the national bird and the most sought-after animal on a Seychelles tour.

This island nation is known to be a haven for hawksbill and green turtles.

Nesting sites are common on the North Island, while Cousin Island Reserve, a conservation centre for hawksbill and giant tortoises, is a nature lover's paradise.

Here, you can watch slow-moving turtles roam the beach in search of fallen fruit and enjoy guided tours of the island that bring you face to face with the Seychelles' amazing biodiversity.

A visit to Cousin Island Reserve is an unmissable highlight of any holiday to the Seychelles if you can tear yourself away from your beach chairs!
