About Fregate Island Lodge

An award-winning idyllic private island paradise in the Indian Ocean
Fregate Island Private, a collection of 17 elegant villas set on a small private island in the Seychelles, is one of the most exclusive hideaways in the Indian Ocean. Surrounding the lodge, lush tropical forests sing with the calls of hundreds of exotic birds, and the seven pristine beaches (one of which has been called "the most beautiful in the world") and undergrowth are home to 2200 free-roaming giant Aldabra tortoises. Conservation is king here; nevertheless, you’ll feel pretty protected too, with your own spacious pool residence, large infinity pool, private pavilion, dining pavilion and attendant butler. A unique experience!

Property details

The property

The central areas of the lodge are built into a hillside above the ocean and include a comfortable lounge, bar and dining areas. There's also a library and an exclusive boutique and gallery. There are two infinity swimming pools spilling over into waterfalls cascading down the rocks, a water sports centre and a huge spa and gym facility. The two a-la-carte restaurants on the island offer bespoke dining. Fruit and vegetables are supplied daily from the islands own plantation.

The rooms

Seventeen elegant private villas are set among the tropical vegetation, all with incredible floor-to-ceiling views of the lush jungle and deep-blue seas. Expect complete privacy with four-poster beds, stylish sitting rooms, indoor and outdoor showers, a large infinity pool and Jacuzzi, and a terrace. Each villa has a large and a small bathroom (both with private outdoor showers), aircon, minibar, wi-fi and entertainment facilities. Paramount is Banyan Hill Estate, a fully staffed hilltop complex overlooking the harbour and beaches.
