Description
Bird Island is one of the last authentic pieces of paradise remaining on Earth. This small coral island is located at the far north-east edge of the Seychelles, and has been described by some as the most beautiful island on Earth.

Description:
The 24 individual beach bungalows are set in the gardens of a former coconut plantation, and offer comfortable, spacious accommodation to guests. The traditional architecture style preserves the island's original 'nonchalant' atmosphere. From May until October, millions of colonies of tern come to nest on one part of the island, and with a year-round population of more than 20 different bird species, Bird Island is an ornithologist's dream. Another natural miracle here is the existence of the sea turtles who lay their eggs here, undisturbed. The island is also home to Esmerelda, the (supposedly) largest and oldest tortoise in the world.
The Bird Island Lodge is not a luxury hotel; the lodge has instead committed to profound nature-protection schemes, and aims to exhibit a natural balance between humans and nature that is incomparable with anywhere else. The lodge's staff take pride in explaining their work and letting interested guests discover the secrets of nature on the island and in the underwater world around it. The price of the accommodation is justified by the lodge's unique natural surroundings.
Thanks to its location at the edge of the Seychelles Bank, Bird Island offers excellent opportunities for watersports, such as snorkelling or kayaking. Another possibility is fly fishing from the beach, which you can do if you bring your own equipment.
Activities and specials:
- A beautiful island that gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.
- In the evening, the sparkling beach is perfect for a sunset stroll.
- The restaurant is excellent, with one of the Seychelles' best Creole kitchens, often serving delicious grilled fish.
- Bird Island offers excellent conditions for snorkelling and kayaking.
- Clients can fish on the beach with their own equipment.
- Whale-watching is sometimes possible (in October/November).
- Guided tours to discover the flora and fauna of Bird Island or to watch turtles and birds. Tours are organised once the guests are on the island. Details of the tours are given to the guests upon briefing. The duration of tour is about 1-2 hours.

Average: 4.0 out of 5 starsMust return!!! Stunning exotic ( but we love birds even the noise❤️) food could be a little bit tastier which is reason for four stars
Not sure what words could be used to describe this gem of a place - beautiful and a true retreat - you literally feel like you are the only person on the whole island. We arrived to a stormy night and the waves sound like they are just feet from your room. Walking the entirety of the island each day was wonderful, beaches had some seagrass, which was a little impeding to the snorkeling but thats nature! The tortoises and birds, the nature walks with Robby - all just little moments that put you at ease and wish you could come back again and again.
perfect for my needs
