Bird Island 
Bird Island, perched on the edge of the
Seychelles continental shelf is the most northerly island of the Seychelles Archipelago
and is situated 60 miles from the main island of Mahé.
 A
30 minute flight from Mahé by light aircraft gives the first stunning
impressions of this tiny 170 acre coral cay. Shades of turquoise and blue
warm Indian Ocean which define the reef and continental shelf contrast
vividly with the 5km of soft, white sand and tropical green island
vegetation. The sight for the first time visitor is never to be forgotten
and the return visitor eagerly awaits that memory.
The east and south sides are surrounded by a
protective barrier reef which is home to many varieties of colourful tropical
fish and the rest is an open beach which offers superb safe swimming.
Bird Island offers a magical holiday experience.
Endless stretches of fine white coral sand beaches give a true
'castaway' feeling. The emphasis is very much on
relaxation and informality. It is a true retreat from today's busy world.
