Frégate Island - Seychelles - The "Real" Treasure Island

Frégate, the most remote of the granite islands, can be reached by helicopter and is a 20 minute flight from Mahé. The small (2 km²) island is named after the local frigate-bird. With some luck, one can also spot the very rare pie chanteuse bird, which is found nowhere else in the world. Thanks to the nature protection organisation Birdlife International, it was possible to halt the pie chanteuse's decline towards extinction and increase their number to 40. Another unusual animal which is only found on this island is the "giant beetle".

Because of its isolated position in the archipelago, this island is the origin of many a tale of buried treasure - supposedly left by pirates looking to hide their ill-begotten gains. People are often seen combing the island beaches with a metal detector, in the hope of finding an old chest filled with gold and jewels.

Frégate is completely surrounded by a vast coral reef and offers its guests seven breathtakingly beautiful sand beaches. One of them is the "Anse Victorin", which the London Times once voted be "the best beach in the world". Limited accommodation ensures that this fantastic treasure island paradise remains as beautiful and deserted as it was during the days when the famous pirate Hodoul was burying his treasure there.

The Rock Spa, which opened in 2004, is based on traditional Aboroginal methods and centuries-old knowledge of medicinal plants. The Spa was featured in an article in HIDEAWAYS magazine which can be viewed here.
