Once a popular destination for pirates, Frégate Island is now a golden haven for exclusive tranquility in the midst of unique indigenous gifts. Within its tropical jungle, the island is home to rare and endangered birds as well as many giant tortoises, both which survive successfully due to the resort’s focus on preservation and protection of the resources.

There are just 16 luxury, air-conditioned villas set on cliffs above the ocean – each around 2,000 sq. ft. – appointed with exotic art and the finest furnishings. Overlooking Anse Macquereau and Anse Bambous beaches, the villas maximize relaxation with their own private sun terraces, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, and day beds.

Additionally, the resort provides guests with their own personal island buggy to scoot from beach to peak, and a first-class personal butler to guarantee they receive the ultimate private island experience. Terrific spa treatments ensure guests are truly relaxed.

Tucked away throughout the resort are unique private dining spots, and with options like imbibing on the beach under the setting Seychellois sun or even feasting among the branches of a grand Banyan tree, creating special romantic moments is never difficult.
