Cousine Island is a private nature reserve dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the Seychelles nature. The island was purchased in 1992 and set aside as conservation island. The main aim was to restore it to its original state and to create a haven for endemic species. The island has been rehabilitated from a coconut plantation in the 70's to a thriving endemic forest and nesting habitat.

Since 1992 more than 3500 endemic tree species have been planted, this is an ongoing project. Currently there are more than 42 conservation projects running on the island.

Turtles breed from September to April and the Lessor Noddy Terns breed from March to October.

Just four elegant and spacious villas are nestled amongst lush vegetation along the beach, ensuring that they are private and secluded, perfect for those escaping on a romantic breakaway. It is hard to imagine a more exclusive paradise than here on Cousine Island.

The villas are built in French Colonial style to commemorate the Seychelles heritage and to provide the utmost comfort and style.

The villas are situated 30m apart, all with magnificent sea views and own private beach access.The villas can be rented individually.
