Frégate Island invites you to an exclusive, luxury retreat set in one of the most beautiful regions of the world, the island groupings around Seychelles. Offering a very private and upmarket experience in luxuriously appointed beach villas all set on the pristine, soft white sand beach, the services of a dedicated butler, an opportunity to unwind in spacious beds, on teak decks and in the hands of the trained masseuses of the Rock Spa, this island luxury lodge awaits you.
With only 16 villas all designed and located for maximum privacy on an island that does not allow day visitors, you can explore this tropical paradise at your own leisure and in your own pace. Take walks or hikes around the island; get onto or underneath its warm Indian Ocean waters and sink into the air of relaxation and simple luxury that touches every aspect of Frégate Island.
Spoil yourself with unique spa treatments and indulge in the very fine wines on offer as well as the abundance of great food that emanates from the kitchens of this upmarket resort. You will sleep like a baby in king-sized beds to the soothing sounds of palm trees waving in the wind and the gentle tides lapping on the shore.
The simple yet elegant interiors of the luxurious villas salute the diverse colonial architectural heritage of the island. Vaulted roofs, marble floors and indigenous woods combine to create a comfortable sanctuary. Villas range from one- and two-bedroom options and there is a Spa Villa with a mini-spa included as well as the sumptuous Presidential Villa set high on an isolated clifftop.
All of these options include spacious rooms with living areas leading out onto wooden decks with a private infinity pool, day bed and Jacuzzi. Facilities in the luxury villas include your own private butler for personalised and individual service (in the Presidential Suite you will also have the services of a private chef), air-conditioning and ceiling fans, a TV, DVD/CD player, telephone, safe, mini-bar, tea/coffee facilities as well as the use of a dedicated island buggy.
The cuisine on offer at Frégate Island is truly something special. The emphasis is on using locally produced fruit and vegetables and this tropical paradise produces the very best examples of them. Chefs pick daily from the gardens and hydroponic house to use in the gourmet meals on offer in the Plantation House restaurant with its romantic ambience, in the Tree House, for barbecues at the beach or in the yacht club. You can enjoy bespoke dining experiences anywhere you wish on the island and know that you will be eating only the freshest, finest fare available. The wine cellar at this luxury lodge is home to some 300 top wines and vintages from the finest estates around the world.
To round the entire experience off don’t miss out on a session by the trained therapists of the Rock Spa. Flanked by freshwater pools and cascading waterfalls, the very beautiful natural space is the perfect place for a soothing massage or rejuvenating treatment. All of their products are made from exotic ingredients gathered from more than 130 islands in the region.
Although the emphasis at Frégate Island is on relaxation and you might not do more than relax on your own private deck or in your own private pool, the island is well worth exploring. Take a nature walk to discover even more remote bays or get out on the water to explore coral reefs by scuba diving or snorkelling, a bit further out catch a glimpse, or if you are lucky, actually catch one of the game fish that dwell in these waters on a deep-sea fishing excursion. Besides the spa there is also a gym on site to work off some of the delicious food on offer as well as tennis courts available for your pleasure.
Frégate Island is situated just 4° south of the Equator and is only a 20-minute flight away from Mahé International Airport in the town of Victoria on Mahé Island.
