Bird Island

Bird Island is a coral island in northern Seychelles bordered by white sand and clear ocean waters. The entire landmass spans a few hundred meters and offers only basic pathways inland, since the island consists mainly of beach and low vegetation.

The island was once a plantation estate before becoming a conservation area in the late 1960s. This shift marked a turning point away from agricultural use toward preservation of the natural space.

The former plantation estate now reflects a commitment to balancing nature with tourism. Visitors experience a place where the needs of the ecosystem take priority over modern convenience.

Getting there involves a flight from the main island, a quick connection in under an hour. On-site accommodation is simple and free from electronic distractions, which encourages focus on nature and rest.

For one month each year, the island becomes a giant nesting ground when hundreds of thousands of seabirds leave their breeding site at once. This spectacular natural event happens within a compressed timeframe, making visits during that period truly memorable.
