Fregate Island
Where the wild things are


Home to the largest population of giant tortoises outside of the Galapagos, not forgetting geckos, endangered birds and countless insects, Fregate Island is the Seychelles’s original luxury eco retreat. The 16 villas are universally secluded, hidden away behind thick foliage, each with thatched roofs and private pools.

A private island paradise.
