The vibe: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìMe Tarzan, you Jane!?¢‚Ǩ?
Picture this: Looking to get off the grid? Take your lovely to the privately owned Cousine Island, home to alabaster beaches and an exclusive little lodge retreat. A nature reserve dedicated to conservation, the island also integrates four villas aimed at putting you out of civilization?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s reach and back to a more skinny-dipping state of mind.
The crowd: Precious few. The couple two villas away is likely an international gallery owner and his Gucci-loving girl. There are the dewy-eyed honeymooners making out in a hammock made for two. Sir Paul McCartney is one starry convert.
The sundowner: Chilled Champagne (after all, you won?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t actually be giving up any creature comforts): You?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll be dining alfresco on Asian-Creole delights in the island?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s guest-only (and, well, only) restaurant.
Come to bed: The villas are French Colonial and just off the beach. Take a dip in the freshwater swimming pool. You can also enjoy guided hikes and fishing and diving trips with the on-island ecologists if you desire. Or just get back to the elements while relaxing in the spa.
Cousine Island is situated off the west coast of Praslin and offers a tropical island holiday experience with complete privacy found in very few places on earth and costs around ?Ǭ£ 700 per Villa per night inclusive of food and drink
