Bird Island Lodge Seychelles

On Bird Island, a private 101-hectare coral cay in the Seychelles—five kilometres around and a 30-minute light-aircraft hop from Mahé. This bird sanctuary and nature reserve fronts a protective reef and open beaches, perfect for swimming and wildlife watching. Ideal for travelers after a private-island, self-catering escape and family-friendly downtime.

Self-catering villas sit among coconut palms on the island’s western coast, overlooking natural parkland and seascapes. Rooms are simple and unplugged—TV and phone free—with fans, in-room safes and optional mosquito nets. Solar-heated showers add a rustic, eco-feel. Only a handful of villas keep the vibe intimate and relaxed.

A small on-island shop and an evening restaurant meet basic needs. There’s a bar and playrooms for kids, so families can unwind. Outdoor life is the draw: snorkeling on the reef, kayaking, nature trails and fly-fishing (bring your own gear). Expect sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access for swimming.

Free Wi‑Fi is available on the property. Staff are English-speaking to help with arrangements and local info.

Villas are self-catering, with a convenience store for supplies. The on-island restaurant serves evening meals and the bar is open for drinks and relaxed nights.
