- Current trends
- North Island continues to set the benchmark for bespoke, no-fixed-menu dining among Seychelles' private-island resorts, with Destination Dining formats like sunset canapés at The Cross and stargazing dinners on the Helipad reflecting a broader trend toward fully personalised, chef-led experiences over set restaurant service; the island's conservation-driven ethos, including habitat restoration for endemic species, continues to differentiate it from other Indian Ocean private islands.
