Details
Bird Island forms part of the Seychelles’ Inner Islands group. It is located approximately 100km north of the main island of Mahé, making it the northernmost island of the Seychelles archipelago.
Bird Island offers a magical holiday experience. Endless stretches of fine white coral sand beach give a true ‘castaway’ feeling. The emphasis is very much on relaxation and informality. It is a true retreat from today’s busy world.
Bird Island, Seychelles symbolises the perfect balance between nature and running an ecologically sound hotel. From its beginnings, conservation has been at the forefront with a focus on the island’s now thriving Sooty Tern seabird colony. This along with the protection of the critically endangered Hawksbill and Green turtles, have contributed to the Island’s remarkable conservation success story.
