THE PRIVATE PARADISE
North Island, Seychelles
What to Pack
To Stay: North Island
Kate Middleton and Prince William put the luxury retreat on the map when they spent their honeymoon here. The hotel is the entire island and it's only reachable via helicopter—something which makes it one of the most private escapes on earth. Each of the 11 beachside villas has its own gardens and plunge pools, but you can also rent the entire thing out.

To Do
What’s unique about Seychelles’ North Island is that it caters to both types of holiday-goers: those who consider reading an "activity", and those who favor more of a physical challenge. The spa, yoga and white sand beaches set the tone for a calming rewind, while clear waters are ideal for water sports. Cue paddle boarding, scuba diving and plenty of challenging hikes.

To Eat
North Island subscribes to a “no menu dining” experience. Translation? Daily menus are custom-catered to each person based on individual tastes. Head to The Piazza for refined private dining or to West Beach Bar for a more casual setting. Order the specialty mojito, made with island-grown passionfruit.
