Description:
Fregate Island is located about 15 minutes away from Mahé by plane. It is a privately-owned island, said to be one of the last completely unspoiled island hideaways worldwide. It radiates a unique beauty, not just thanks to the number of white, sandy beaches on the island, but also because of the lush green vegetation that can be found here. Compared to certain other islands in the Seychelles, Frégate rises softly from the ocean, making it a true 'tropical island'. It is also the subject of some of the Seychelles' best stories: according to legend, the island used to be a pirate hideout, and there's still said to be some treasure buried in the sand.
The true treasure of Fregate is definitely the island's untouched beauty, which is home to some of the most beautiful granite formations found anwhere in the world. The careful protection of nature, along with mindful preservation of flora and fauna, is the most important reason for the island's beauty, and hopefully this will never change.
The Fregate Island Resort has a grand total of seven beaches and seventeen residences, so there are only ever a handful of people on the island at the same time. There are no day-trips allowed to Fregate, with the island striving for a complete feeling of privacy, even from the other residents of the island. Thanks to their location above the beach, there is a large space between each villa. Every residence offers high-quality furnishings, made from mahogany and African teak. The red roofs of the houses also blends in to the tropical landscape well.
Remote, but not inaccessible.
Precious, but not unaffordable.
Fragile, but not untouchable.
A hideaway: luxurious and in-sync with nature.
