“Islanding in Paradise for VVIP's”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 27, 2012

The most amazing location -a secluded island in tropical waters with just 11 villa's -no crowds, empty beaches all to yourself and amazing views and experiences to be had. We ate like absolute kings with fantastic seafood and anything else your heart could desire. The snorkelling and scuba-diving were sublime, with turtles, rays, eels, sharks and more! Snagged a couple of yellowfin tuna whilst fishing on our own personal charter. The villa's are spectacular and really spacious with crazy big showers and a bath to wallow in for hours, not to mention our pool, massive comfy bed and personal mini cinema. All this and then such friendly, helpful and efficient staff make it a stay never to be forgotten -thanks a mill to ALL of you who made the stay so special.

Room Tip: All villa's face the ocean -we stayed in no.10 which was further along the beach and great.

“Exceeds Expectations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2012

Since there are only 11 villas on the island all the staff get to know you much better. Everyone is smiling and willing to accommodate your every need. The food was good, though I feel like they should have a proper menu instead of a set menu for everyday. The wildlife there is amazing, where ever you go you get to meet many tortoises. Whilst there we got to release baby turtles into the wild. The lectures were a good learning experience and its amazing to learn how the island irradiated rats and how they take such great measures to keep them away. The spa is gorgeous overlooking beautiful views of the turquoise blue sea. The villa was beautiful and the beach was in pristine condition (no garbage) just gleaming white sand. Sometimes you could spot the eagle rays leaping out of the water near the shallows, but they are harmless. Overall we had an amazing experience at North Island and hopefully will be back soon!

Room Tip: Travelling in March and April choose a villa 1-6 since they have the biggest beach at the time.

“Paradise on earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2012 via mobile

Though rates are high, once there you are in heaven. I think that every minute we spent there was worth the money we d paid. They put themselves out to make your stay perfect, you are spoilt beyond expectations, there s never a NO. Decoration is amazing, every tiny detail has been thought and taken care of in such a tasteful way. Staff are amazingly spontaneus and friendly. An ideal place to nurse your soul and spirit. They always make sure you you meet as few other guests as possible. If you are looking for peace, quiet and privacy, it s the place to go. The only tiny drawback is that the sea is a bit rough.

“Amazing place, but money stolen in the hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2012

The place is exeptional and I agree with all the brilliant reviews.

However, the food in the restaurant is average. And, most importantly, my friend had a significant amount of money stolen from the villa. Management was helpful and waived some of the bills.

Just make sure you keep everything in a safe box provided.

North Island is a place of barefoot luxury for those seeking an unspoilt, spectacular tropical retreat.

Each villa has a study or second bedroom, creating the perfect space for children. All the villas are built directly on the eastern beach. A lounge, dining room and library, scenically located health spa and gym, world-class dive centre, and a rim-flow swimming pool are all built into a granitic outcrop. A sunset bar and restaurant are tucked away on the western beach of the island. Activities include mountain biking, gym, guided walks, snorkeling, fishing, boating, sea kayaking, and scuba diving. North Island has created a signature style that combines natural beauty with sheer luxury, a rare experience in harmony with the environment. It is thus an example of a sustainable ecologically-sensitive utilisation of a precious natural treasure. ... more   less
