Eid Break Getaways: 2 Private Island Hideaways to Visit This Year

These two island paradises are perfect for families in the GCC looking for a secluded tropical getaway with bespoke services.

North Island, Seychelles
North Island is one of the best-kept secrets in the Seychelles. Just four hours away from the GCC, the exclusive 201-hectare Indian Ocean resort is the perfect getaway to ensure complete privacy. Only 11 villas are found along the shores of the azure blue ocean, surrounded by coconut palms and tamaka trees, enabling barefoot luxury in earnest peace and quiet.

While staying on North Island, you can tailor your holiday according to your day-to-day needs. Whether you want to lounge around the private beaches, cycle through nature trails, drive along the coast or try a wide variety of water activities like kayaking and scuba diving, the staff helps you enjoy the island your way.

What’s more, the island’s unique ‘rough and smooth’ concept allows guests to reconnect with nature and relax without having to worry about schedules or dress codes. Feel like a picnic or family barbecue on the beach, or perhaps a meal in the comfort of your villa or the island’s restaurant or beach bar? The chef creates personalised gastronomic experiences, suggesting the seasonal island harvest’s offerings.
