As wildernesses go, Fregate is pristine. The residences are set on high cliffs, screened by vegetation. Each has a private infinity pool and butler service. There are seven white, sandy beaches. The Rock Spa is sublime.
And you can dine anywhere you choose: in a treehouse, on the beach, even on a bobbing boat. Yet conservation, not pampering, is at the heart of this private island. It teems with tropical birds, geckos and over 2,000 giant Aldabra tortoises.
Whether you arrive by boat of helicopter, you’ll never forget your first glimpse.
