Fregate Island

This idyllic island is a getaway for the rich. It is a private island and only guests of the only luxury hotel on the island can visit or stay. Needless to say, it is expensive!

Fregate is one of the granite islands. It is surrounded by coral reefs and is quite isolated. Fregate Island has its own contribution to conservation efforts in the Seychelles. The magpie-robin which used to be found only on Fregate, was on the brink of extinction with hardly 20 birds of the species being available at one time. It is now a thriving species and is being introduced to the other islands where it is hoped they will breed and thrive.
