Bird Island Resort Seychelles
Most northerly outpost of the Seychelles, the tiny coral island of Bird is the escapist hideaway par excellence – though only 30 minutes’ flight (daily services) from Mahe. A private enclave ringed by turquoise waters and glittering white-sand beaches, it’s renowned for its fishing, snorkelling and prolific bird life – including the famous migratory sooty terns. A unique retreat from the outside world, this romantic mid-ocean cay of just 170 acres offers a dream-like sanctuary where would-be Crusoes will feel quite at home.
