There’s a coral island just a thirty-minute plane ride from Mahe in the Seychelles that seems a world away from our everyday worries. This island is uniquely Seychelles and is especially geared towards the conservation and protection of indigenous flora and fauna, but especially the endangered birds that call Seychelles home.
You will not need your mobile phone, because there is no signal. But, you won’t miss it, and if your children are with you, they won’t miss computer games either. There is plenty to see and do with nature as the main attraction, and Bird Island Seychelles makes sure that nature stays at the forefront.
Unique Accommodation
Stay in a traditional Seychelles-style bungalow, which is spacious and comfortably furnished with a bedroom, living room and separate bathroom. Hot water for the shower is supplied by solar panels, an ideal way to conserve energy in a tropical climate. You’ll have your own patio with cheerful, comfortable seating, and the beach will be just feet from your front door.
The main building houses the reception, an open plan lounge, bar and restaurant, as well as a small boutique and library.
Environmental Credentials
Most of the hotels in Seychelles work to conserve and protect nature: Bird Island Seychelles has made this their work spirit. Bird Island is a private reserve dedicated to maintaining a delicate ecosystem that is home to more than 24 species of birds, many of which only visit Bird Island in the Seychelles. There are hawksbill and rare green turtles hatcheries, as well as Aldabran tortoises, one of which is over 200 years old!
Local and Sustainable
Bird Island Seychelles prides itself on offering meals that include delicious seafood from the waters surrounding the island, and fresh produce grown on the island. On-site conservationists are available for walks and nature talks, and have a wealth of knowledge and information about the workings of the island, which they are always happy to share.
With over three miles of white sand beaches surrounding the island, you’re sure to find a quiet beach to call your own during your stay. Explore the waters by snorkeling, or arrange a nature boat tour or some deep sea fishing.
A stay like no other
With the focus on conserving and maintaining indigenous flora and fauna, you won’t find all the trappings of a luxury resort, but you will be able to enjoy the luxury of seeing, hearing, and learning more about the natural world around you. Book your stay at one of the most exclusive hotels in Seychelles by contacting a specialized tour operator like Just Seychelles. It could change your whole perspective!
