Iconic Hotels

North Island is a place of barefoot luxury for those seeking an unspoilt, spectacular tropical retreat, with a signature style that combines natural beauty with sheer luxury. The island is explored on bikes, golf carts and guided walks; snorkelling, fishing, boating, sea kayaking, and scuba diving through the world-class dive centre take in the surrounding waters.

Just 11 individually-handcrafted guest villas on the entire island lie directly on the eastern beach. The Presidential Villas (villas 1 to 10) have a study or second bedroom for children; Villa North Island (Villa 11) is a secluded space for a couple. The scenically-located health spa and gym and rim-flow pool are built into a granitic outcrop, while a sunset bar and restaurant are tucked away on the western beach.

In one of the most ambitious island rehabilitation programmes ever undertaken, we took a degraded island ecosystem and restored it to its original natural abundance, thus transforming it into a haven for endemic species, and creating an award-winning sanctuary in harmony with nature.
