Seychelles - North Island — Africa — Kuoni Travel World Class 2008 online holiday brochure

SEYCHELLES VIEW FROM BEDROOM SUITE IN VILLA NORTH ISLAND An island of untamed beauty and unabashed yet understated luxury, this retreat represents a reverie of indulgent privacy, natural splendour and barefoot intimacy, where an eco-friendly environment merges seamlessly with relaxation to create a sanctuary of wellbeing. Standing alone in the topaz waters of the Indian Ocean, fringed by caster sugar sands, rustling palms and punctured by molded granite boulders, North Island is as unique in its scenery as in its ultimate sense of privacy. Undoubtedly one of the most exclusive and intimate island retreats in the world, here you will find a level of service so discreet yet friendly and attentive you will feel at home. At North Island there is a no-menu concept. Instead you may meet with the chef who will create meals around your tastes, which are served in villa or at the main dining area, or you may enjoy a picnic or barbecue on the beach. On the eastern coast of the island just 11 hand crafted and individually created Robinson Crusoe style villas scatter in complete seclusion from each other and the outside world. Each villa, immense in proportion at 540 square yards is built on wooden decking and features retracting sliding doors, which open to a panoramic 180° view of the lawns, white sands and verdant palms. The villas are created from indigenous materials so you can expect soft hues of wood and cool cream linens. The main bedroom has a large bed, there is a separate living area with kitchenette. Each villa has a television, CD, DVD and internet access, an outdoor Sala for relaxation during the day, a spacious bathroom with large marble bath, indoor and outdoor showers and a second bedroom for two children or alternatively a study. The bedrooms and dressing area are airconditioned. Away from your private haven you may wish to indulge in treatments at the spa, which offers both the highest level of therapists using Espa products and spectacular views. There is a gymnasium for your use and kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving, half day fishing charters and mountain biking are all included. FOR WORLD CLASS OFFERS including Airline Offers: See p208.
