Fregate Island Private,
Seychelles
Few destinations that I have visited have left as lasting an impression as Frégate Island Private did. A place so rare, so exquisitely preserved, it feels like stepping into another world.
Tucked away in the Seychelles, this private island sanctuary offers the ultimate blend of barefoot luxury, unspoiled nature, and utter exclusivity. It is, quite simply, one of the most extraordinary experiences on Earth.
Frégate Island is not merely a resort, it is an entire island reserved for just a handful of guests. With only 16 secluded residences, each designed in harmony with the lush surroundings, it is possible to feel as though you have the entire island to yourself.
The villas are spacious and private and come with their own infinity pools, panoramic Indian Ocean views. They also have dedicated private butlers who anticipate every need with intuitive precision. There are no crowds and no schedules, just the luxury of time and space in one of the planet’s last untouched paradises.
What sets Frégate apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainability and conservation, which is seamlessly integrated into the guest experience.
The island is home to over 2,000 free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises, as well as rare bird species like the Seychelles magpie-robin, once close to extinction. Guests are invited not only to witness this thriving ecosystem but to participate in it, whether releasing baby turtles into the sea, helping in coral restoration efforts, or touring the island’s organic plantation and hydroponic gardens.
For those seeking true escapism, Frégate delivers in abundance. The island boasts seven pristine beaches, one of which, Anse Victorin, is frequently voted among the world’s best.
And the best part? You can reserve an entire beach for yourself with a simple wooden sign: 'Beach Occupied.'
Whether you’re enjoying a candlelit dinner under the stars or a gourmet picnic in a jungle clearing, every experience is bespoke, intimate, and profoundly personal.
This is a destination perfect for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, honeymooners, multi-generational families, and those craving total privacy, whether for relaxation or high-level business retreats. It’s a haven for those who have seen and done it all and are now seeking meaning, depth, and reconnection in a place where luxury and nature are in perfect harmony.
In a world of five-star sameness, Frégate Island Private stands apart. It’s a rare sanctuary where conservation meets comfort, where barefoot meets bespoke, and where guests don’t just stay.........they become part of something bigger.
For clients who demand the exceptional, this is not just a recommendation, it’s a must. Please allow me to help you experience the island that time forgot, in a way that only a privileged few ever will.
