Located 55 kilometres east of the Seychelles’ most populated island of Mahé, Fregate Island is one of the most idyllic island getaways of the Indian Ocean archipelago.

The island’s resort which was first opened in 1998, is currently being managed by German luxury hotel brand Oetker Collection, since 2013.

The resort's owners have just spent the last two years renovating Fregate's luxurious villas, which are carefully blended into the natural vegetation of the discreet and easternmost of the inner granitic islands of the archipelago. This provides the exclusively private ambiance that the island is famed for.

In June last year, Fregate Island Private was also voted the second most expensive hotel in the World at $5,246 per night at the time, after the Seychelles North Island which topped the list, priced at an average cost of $6,695 per night, according to a survey conducted by Travelmag.com.
