"This astonishing retreat—potentially the most famous in the Seychelles—first opened in 2003. More than 20 years later, it has gone through refurbishments and ownership changes, introducing super-smart elements such as soft silk rugs and hand-beaten brass headboards. But the whole place has weathered beautifully and now sits happily in its setting; the laid-back spirit is still very much the same as it ever was. North Island employs full-time environmentalists and landscapers, and takes on volunteers, to improve the luxurious forests, making it an eco-thinking space in a country where the climate crisis is ever on people's minds. And in 2011, it was the honeymoon destination of a certain Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."
