Fregate Island - Honeymoon Vacation - Tropical resort - Beach vacation - Vacation package - Exotic vacation - Tropical island - Frégate Island’s pure shores encircle a unique destination: Frégate Island.
Private, a collection of sixteen luxury villas, each one crafted to provide
guests with the highest degree of privacy and comfort, located on a remote tropical
island in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Frégate Island Private
is the only resort on one of the most unspoiled places on earth. Once the island
attracted pirates but now it lures the discerning and privileged with its soothing
climate, tropical forests, and hidden coves of dazzling white sand. But what
really sets the property apart is its commitment to the endemic wildlife that
surrounds it. Designed to coexist within a fragile ecosystem that shelters some
of the world’s most endangered species, Frégate Island Private offers the utmost
in luxury — tempered with caring responsibility. Frégate Island is a private
tropical paradise that offers a unique series of island experiences for its
selected guests. This “Dream” is to be respected and improved by sustaining
the untamed environment in its wild state and: - Nurturing our self sufficient
hideaway for our friends and those who wish to share our Dream. - Creating a
community based on pride where our management and staff become the guardians
of this paradise. - Being ecologically aware in our thoughts and actions. -
Pampering our guests in a most discrete and relaxed manner to create a stress
free and friendly atmosphere. - Creating the “Pleasure of the senses”, where
one never sees, smells or hears anything unnaturally out of place wherever you
are in the island. The Villas To maintain Frégate Island’s tranquillity and
beauty without impacting the delicate balance of its ecosystem, Frégate Island
Private voluntarily restricts itself to just sixteen 185-square-metre (2,000-square-foot)
villas. Built from traditional materials such as native mahogany and African
teak in a simple post-and-lintel style, the villas are topped off with dense
thatched roofs. Both the architecture and decor draw on Balinese and Thai influences.
Fourteen of the villas sit on top of the cliffs with panoramic views over the
Indian Ocean. Two more nestle in their own private tropical gardens, and these
are particularly good choices for families vacationing with young children.
Each villa was situated to make it feel like a part of the surrounding landscape,
and to ensure maximum privacy and seclusion for the guests. Sliding glass walls
and French doors that can be opened to the elements help to further blur the
line that separates inside from outside. Despite their traditional appearance
and supremely laid-back ambiance, the villas come well-equipped with DVD machines
and CD players. And, of course, if the fresh sea breezes aren’t quite cool enough
for you, there’s always air conditioning. The Entrance to your villa Villas
on Frégate Island private are designed for maximum privacy. Accordingly, each
one has a gated entrance behind which lies the open-air foyer that branches
off to the living area and bedroom. Private Deck The separate areas of each
villa are linked by a teak deck that comes furnished with comfortable lounging
chairs and dining set that's just right for leisurely outdoor meals. A staircase
leads down to a private Jacuzzi and a king-size daybed where you can linger
for hours. The Bedroom This island, once used by pirates, still has bedrooms
that feel like treasure troves filled with the best of the world's luxuries.
The carved furniture from Africa e Asia, Javanese sculptures, Thai silks, and
top-quality Egyptian cotton add to the extraordinary comfort of the villas.
Complementing the design of the living room, the bedroom floor is of pale polished
marble, skirted with warm Chamfuta teak from Africa. The ceiling is thatched
in the Balinese style with straw bound to bamboo rafters over a soaring timber
framework. The result is a room with a true sense of the exotic, one that combines
richness and simplicity. Sweet Dreams are virtually guaranteed in the canopied
four-poster bed, particularly when the French windows are left open to allow
the sounds of the sea to waft in. The Bathroom Each villa has two bathrooms,
one attached to the bedroom and one to the living room. And just like those
other rooms, the bathrooms encourage you to feel like you're in touch with the
natural splendour of the island - which is easy, of course, when you are enjoying
the invigorating outdoor shower surrounded. Inside, windows flank the soaking
tub so that you can look out over wild fig trees and palms while you luxuriate
in the water. As in the rest of the villa, there's plenty of warm red teak and
creamy marble, plus granite surfaces around the bathtub and basins. And of course
ther's bar upon bar of rich and fragrant natural soap. Some bathrooms are only
for bathing in. On Frégate Island they're places to really luxuriate. Living
Room Comfort comes first in the living rooms of Frégate Island Private. Underfoot,
there's cool, pale Botticino marble, skirted with African Chamfuta teak. Overhead
there's thick Balinese alang-alang thatching, made from straw lashed to bamboo
rafters, and a timber framework that echoes the work of the original southeast
Asian craftsmen. The walls of the living room are simply glass and teak, so
that light can flood in and guests can gaze out at the spectacular views over
the beach and ocean. Floor-length white drapes billow in the tropical breeze
but the only sound that gets blown in are the murmur of the wind through the
palm trees and the crashing of the surf below. Wide Balinese day beds with cozy
throw pillows are perfect for noontime nap, or children can bunk on them overnight.
Original artworks, an understated palette, and natural fabrics help to create
an atmosphere of extreme relaxation: A living room where living is easy indeed.
Daybed & Jacuzzi Outside is your personal jacuzzi and king size day bed: a place
to linger - the air is like silk making skin glow, warm and moist, yet fresh
at the same time Food & Drinks In keeping with the resort’s commitment to providing
its guests with the finest quality while at the same time coexisting successfully
with the island’s fragile wildlife, our chefs create gourmet meals using produce
grown hydroponically in our gardens. This ensures a steady supply of tomatoes,
eggplant, squash, cucumbers, peppers and other vegetables. A small plantation
yields home-grown pineapples, oranges, breadfruit, bananas, and a wide variety
of herbs and spices. Naturally, there´s fresh fish in abundance. There are two
main restaurants, one in Frégate House and one in Plantation House, or you can
enjoy your meals in the privacy of your villa. The open-air Pirates Bar serves
light lunches and snacks. Frégate House & Restaurants The main building on the
island, Frégate House, lies just behind the villas that line the cliffs on the
island's northern edge. Like the villas, Frégate House has been designed to
incorporate elements of Balinese and Thai style. With its simple yet graceful
architecture, it resembles a hillside pavilion. The resort's main restaurant
is in Frégate House. It serves an international gourmet menu that capitalizes
upon the island's steady supply of freshly-caught fish and home-grown fruits,
vegetables, herbs, and spices. Diners enjoy sweeping views over the island.
Whether inside underneath the slowly-revolving ceiling fans or outside in the
wide verandah, guests at the Plantation House can take their time over a leisurely
dinner. Creole specialties and casual barbecues are served often in this classical
building, one of the oldest on the island, that was once the main property on
a sugarcane plantation. There is no more sublime a place to begin a discovery
of Bali's innocence and beauty than at a small hotel in the village of Kedewatan,
called Amandari. Sanskrit for "the place of peaceful spirits," Amandari is surely
one of the world's best hotels. Amandari is located only a few minutes from
the art community of Ubud, in Central Bali. The resort is set on the very edge
of the Ayung River gorge, with the village of Kedewatan adjacent. Amandari has
been designed as a Balinese village, with river-stone walkways and high paras-stone
walls. The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river
below is said to be sacred land. Paths lead from Amandari to surrounding villages.
From Amandari, most of Bali’s cultural and scenic offerings are within easy
reach. Balinese-style stone gateways front Amandari’s 30 walled, thatched-roof
suites. Each terrace suite features a large combined bedroom and living room,
with all facilities, including a bar and music system. In a duplex suite, the
living room and bar are located on the ground level, with the bedroom and its
queen-size bed on the second level. Eleven terrace and duplex suites come with
private swimming pools. Twin vanities and dressing areas, separate shower and
toilet rooms and Javanese marble flooring lend elegance to the Amandari bathroom.
Each bathroom also enjoys an outdoor, sunken marble bathtub framed by stone
planters filled with ferns and baby bamboo. The Asmara Suite and the Ayung Suite
are duplex accommodations, with private swimming pools and picturesque views
of the adjacent rice terraces and valley. Available with one or two detached
bedrooms, the Amandari Suite includes a separate living room pavilion, a swimming
pool, an outdoor dining bale of teak and bamboo and views of the Ayung River
gorge. Amandari has recently added a private, three-bedroom villa to its accommodations.
Located alongside the Ayung River gorge, adjacent to the resort, the 1,500-square-meter
site overlooks fields of rice and the distant peaks of Batukau, Sanglyang and
Lesong. The Balinese-style villa compound includes five pavilions: three detached,
terrace-style bedrooms; a separate living room walled entirely in windows and
sliding-glass doors; and a fully fitted kitchen complete with staff quarters.
The villa is crafted largely of coconut wood and teak. Interior design and furnishings
are in classic Amandari style. An outdoor dining bale is set alongside a reflection
pond. A garden and a landscaped deck embrace the two-tiered swimming pool. The
Amandari villa is no more than a minute’s drive from the resort proper. A vehicle
is always on call, should villa guests wish to take advantage of any of Amandari’s
facilities. The villa comes with two Amandari staff; a chef is on call. Restaurant
& Bar The Restaurant, open to the country air and crafted largely of teak, overlooks
Amandari’s swimming pool and the gorge. The Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch
and dinner and specializes in Western and Indonesian dishes. The Bar, with its
outdoor terrace seating, features a wide selection of drinks. Dinner celebrations
can be arranged in the open-air bale next to the restaurant. Facilities and
Services A selection of books, newspapers, music cassettes, CDs and games is
available in the library. Local handicrafts and general items are featured in
the gift shop . Amandari’s Gallery showcases antique textiles and handicrafts
from all over Asia, with an emphasis on Indonesia. Las Ventanas al Paraíso and
Villas Paraíso Private Residences are located approximately 15 minutes southwest

Cabo and Cabo San Lucas in an area known as Cabo Real. Expansive and richly

Cava, provides a one-of-a-kind venue for a private, intimate specialty dinner
by special arrangement. Romantic Rooftop Terrace Dining: For guests staying

personalised meal for two up on the terrace. Sit down to an elegantly set table
seemingly on top of the world, open to the broad sky yet ensconced in absolute

Anguilla: a British crown territory, the island is 16 miles long and three miles wide. The Anguillians are renowned for their gentle friendliness and industrious attributes, which have allowed the island to host three of the top 15 international resorts. Restaurants are many and varied, and the cuisine rivals that of nearby islands. Its beaches are extolled as some of the best in the world.
Beaches: First and foremost, of course, are the 33 magnificent, powder soft white sand beaches that ring this small island. So many splendid beaches and such a small island! Beachgoers here are assured of peace and serenity - even when visitors fill every room on the island. No crowds, no hassling; just you, your lounge chair or beach blanket, and the breathtaking beauty of Anguilla's beaches and the turquoise waters that gently meet soft white sands. Beaches for every pleasure - strolling, jogging, sunbathing, shelling, beach games, sandcastles, book reading, boat watching, birdwatching. Beaches for romance, rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and meditation.
Anguilla is the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, with a latitude of approximately 18 degrees north and longitude of 63 degrees west. The island lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, some five miles north of St. Maarten/St. Martin and one hundred fifty miles east of Puerto Rico. The territory of Anguilla comprises several offshore islets, or cays, including Sandy Island, Dog Island, Prickley Pear Cays, Scrub Island, and Sombrero Island (the location of the island's lighthouse).
