If you have dreams of lying out on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, then plan your next luxury beach holiday to this gem of an island in the Indian Ocean.

Until as recently as ten years ago, the island was largely decimated to meet agricultural demands of society however, the current owners have been taking drastic steps to return Frégate Island to its previous glory.
