FREGATE ISLAND PRIVATE – THE ULTIMATE BAREFOOT LUXURY

June 11, 2009

FREGATE ISLAND PRIVATE

A retreat for luxury-loving Crusoes – you won’t want to leave!

Timeless in mood yet magically exotic – one of the most secluded island addresses in the Seychelles, Frégate Island Private is a romantic hideaway just 20 minutes from Mahé by private helicopter.  Its rocky contours with lush dense tropical vegetation of coconut palms and takumaka bamboo, to name just a few, the island is home to rare wildlife species that include the Magpie Robin and a colony of giant tortoises.  Perfect for true romantics – it is ringed by seven stunning, often deserted, beaches – yours to explore in your own ‘island buggy’.  For the active there are water sports, fishing and nature walks, or just be pampered in the Rock Spa – perched on a hill-top.  Frégate is the ultimate in barefoot luxury – you won’t want to leave!

An idyllic sense of Seychellois escapism and charm:

Frégate has 16 air-conditioned pavilion-like villas set on bluffs above or between two dazzling beaches, with some of them enjoying fabulous ocean panoramas.  Restricting the number of guests to a maximum of 40 at any one time, the island remains exclusive to its guests – no day visitors are allowed – with each villa positioned to ensure ultimate privacy.  The villas are built of native mahogany and blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings.  The tropical feel of the buildings is deliberately casual.  Each villa has a large terrace with a daybed and Jacuzzi as an extension of the living area.  The light and spacious interior houses colonial-style furniture and state-of-the-art technology.

Romantic dining serving traditional Creole dishes and island specialities:

In the evening, the Plantation House turns into a romantic restaurant serving traditional Creole dishes and island specialities.  This historical building evokes memories of the island’s past and is a wonderful venue for open-air dining.  The alternative dining venue is Frégate House where a gourmet menu features the Chef’s daily selection of local produce.  Dining is available on the lower terrace and also in the restaurant.  Guests can also dine in the privacy of their own villa or at the Beach Bar at Anse Bambous.

The Rock Spa:

Perched on a cliff-top plateau overlooking the sea, the Rock Spa is a haven of serenity.  Entered through a granite canyon, flanked by freshwater pools and cascading waterfalls, the spa celebrates the island’s unique surroundings and embraces all elements of nature.  The finest holistic treatments from all over the world use ancient techniques from India, Australia and Polynesia with botanical treatments prepared from local ingredients.  Afterwards, relax with a glass of cool coconut milk, Champagne or tea with fresh lemongrass and enjoy the view from the spa’s sublime vantage point high above the Indian Ocean.  There’s a fully equipped gym, a freshwater swimming pool, an extensive library, the children’s game room and the Castaway Kids Club & Clubhouse.  Golfers can head to the course on nearby Praslin Island.
