FREGATE ISLAND

Fregate Island: Our View

Fregate island used to be the jewel of the Seychelles – the ultimate private island lodge with boundless nature all around.  The rooms are staggering and its beaches are some of the best in the Seychelles

4 palms - This is an amazing island lodge and is unsurprisingly incredibly expensive. However, we think it is worth either spending a bit more to go to North Island, or a bit less to go to Denis or Des Roches.

Fregate Island: The Detail

Four degrees south of the equator, Frégate is a Seychelles Island of outstanding natural beauty; giant granite boulders rise from the powdery white sand of seven beaches, protected by granite barriers. Frégate has 16 villas, restricting the number of guests toa 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 day bed and jacuzzi as an extension of the living area. The light and spacious interior houses colonial-style furniture and state-of-the-art technology.

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.
