The presence of modern living conditions normally upsets the charm and beauty of natural holiday spots. To acquire opulence a sacrifice has to be made and unfortunately it is nature that has to pay the price. Few places on earth have reached the fine balance of living in nature, but still offering luxury. Cousine Island as one of the Seychelles private islands has obtained that status. The reason is simple. Rather than focussing on the attraction of mass tourism, Cousine Island has stayed true to nature with only accommodation for a maximum of ten persons at a time. This doesn’t only benefit the guest who has the freedom to hike through the island undisturbed or can swim on a quiet and unspoiled beach, but also ensures that the animals, birds, reptiles and plants of the island can flourish. Make no mistake – luxury has not been compromised, but as one of the smaller Seychelles private islands, Cousine offers an unparalleled eco-holiday experience.
