Fregate

Cerf Island
Cerf is an unspoiled jewel presented to the nature lovers who come to the fascinating Seychelles. It is located in a lush marine environment and will offer you luxurious accommodation, tranquil setting, and a stunning natural beauty on an uncrowded island.
Silhouette Island

Chauve Souris Island
Chauve Souris is an interesting island because it becomes a peninsula at low tide. Does this sound incredible? Visit it, and you will love walking freely from one side of the island to the other!
Curieuse
Curieuse is a bio-reserve — which is also a splendid tourist destination — designed for day visits. Though the island does not have any restaurants or hotels of its own, you can enjoy its beauty by taking organized tours with the help of a tour operator. Once you get there, you will love the sight of mangrove forests, the fauna, and the red archways on the beach.
