Overview of Cousine Island

Cousine Island Resort is a luxurious and private escape on Cousine Island, nestled in the breathtaking Seychelles. Situated a thousand miles from the African mainland, Cousine Island is an enchanting and secluded tropical paradise, wholly committed to the preservation of its natural beauty. Even though it spans just 30 hectares, this place is brimming with life, featuring seven breeding species of sea birds such as fairy terns, wedge-tail shearwaters, and lesser noddies. It also hosts a burgeoning population of the critically endangered Seychelles magpie robins, along with hawksbill and green turtles, and around 80 impressive and boisterous Aldabra giant tortoises. Green turtles can be seen nesting throughout the year, but for a thrilling opportunity to witness the seasonal hawksbills, plan your visit between September and April.

The wildlife here is just the beginning of the experience: the rooms, facilities, and cuisine are all exceptional, perfectly suited for a private island that hosts a maximum of 12 adults and six children across one presidential villa and four luxury villas. Each offers stunning infinity pools, direct access to the sandy beach, air conditioning, and a captivating blend of hand-carved furniture and high-end technology. This is the sole place to stay on the island for guests, and it can be reserved for exclusive use.

Experience guided nature walks, yoga, snorkelling, and rejuvenating treatments at the Ligne St Barth Spa. The island’s conservation officer is ready to share the captivating history of Cousine Island’s past. For those who seek excitement, a variety of diving, fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, and day excursions are available. Unconventional pursuits encompass tree planting, Creole cooking lessons, and caving, while kids will delight in treasure hunts, constructing sand castles, performing plays, and engaging in exciting science experiments.
