Frégate Island Private
Style Where thatch meets tropicana
Setting Rocky, remote and relaxing
A mere four degrees south of the equator, this tiny lump of granite seemingly floating in the Indian Ocean is a sensitively developed, verdant paradise, the likes of which you imagine when the theme tune to Desert Island Discs drifts from your radio speakers. Traditional-style villas made from native mahogany and topped with thatched roofs provide your base, while talcum-soft sand will fast become your foot exfoliator of choice. The whole island is taken up by Frégate Island Private, so absolutely everything is taken care of – all you have to do is turn up and flop out.

Our favourite rooms
If you and your partner want to make ‘intimate’ noises without being overheard, then ask for one of the villas furthest away from the main buildings. Villas One and Two are a good option for those with children, as they are set in gardens rather than on a clifftop. All villas come with a personal golf buggy, so you can zip around the resort in style.
Packing tips
Bring binoculars so you can catch a glimpse of the acrobatic frégate bird, after which the island is named.
Also
For guests who would like to finally take the plunge and learn how to dive, Frégate Island Private offers a PADI certification scheme.
