Accommodation
Fregate has 16 villas, restricting the number of guests to a maximum of 40 at any one time. The island remains exclusive to its guests - no day visitors are allowed - with each villa positioned to ensure ultimate privacy.
The villas are built of native mahogany and blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The tropical feel of the buildings is deliberately casual. Each villa has a large terrace with a day bed and jacuzzi as an extension of the living area. The light and spacious interior houses colonial-style furniture and state-of-the-art technology.
Restaurants & Bars
In the evening, the Plantation House turns into a romantic restaurant serving traditional Creole dishes and island specialities. This historical building evokes memories of the island's past and is a wonderful venue for open air dining.
The alternative dining venue is Fregate House, where a gourmet menu features the chef's daily selection of local produce. Dining is available on the lower terrace and also in the restaurant.
Guests can also dine in the privacy of their own villa or at the Beach Bar at Anse Bambous.
Recreation
Fregate Island offers a host of activities on, in and under the water.
There are two freshwater pools and seven beaches - one of which, Anse Victorin, is renowned as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Discover another world while snorkeling, explore the ocean aboard a hobie cat or kayak, go game fishing aboard the island's launches, Fregate Bird and Little Fregate or take a boat trip to explore a remote island.
For those who prefer to stay ashore there is a fully equipped gym and an extensive library. Guests can also climb Mount Signal, with a summit of 125 metres, or enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Seychelles aboard a helicopter or a small aircraft.
For a more heavenly experience there is a stargazing platform, located on the east of the island overlooking Anse Park beach. This observatory platform is free of light pollution and offers awe-inspiring views of the star-studded canopy above courtesy of a high-tech Celestron Ultima 2000 telescope.
The Rock Spa
The Rock Spa is a haven of serenity, perched on a cliff-top plateau overlooking the sea. Entered through a granite canyon, flanked by freshwater pools and cascading waterfalls, the Spa celebrates the island's unique surroundings and embraces all elements of nature.
The finest holistic treatments from all over the world use ancient techniques from India, Australia and Polynesia with botanical treatments prepared from local ingredients.
Afterwards, relax with a glass of cool coconut milk, champagne or tea with fresh lemongrass and enjoy the view from the Spa's sublime vantage point high above the Indian Ocean.
Children
The Castaway Club is for children aged between 5 to 12 years, and is a platform to educate and teach children (and parents) about the environment and conservation of the island's natural heritage. The clubhouse offers games, videos, craft material, books and much more.
During Christmas and Easter, fun activities are available where children can make new friends and explore and enjoy the island in a safe and secure environment. A Castaway Activity Co-ordinator will be available at this time to supervise activities. Babysitters are advisable for children under 5 years of age who wish to visit Castaway Kids Club. Activities are advertised in the 'Fregate Today' newsletter.
At other times of the year, Castaway Kids Club can be opened for families with children. There will be no Castaway Activity Co-ordinator available at these times, however a babysitter can be arranged with prior notice.
