GENERAL INFORMATION
A 30 minute flight from Mahé by light aircraft gives the first stunning impressions of this tiny 170 acre coral cay. Shades of turquoise and blue warm Indian Ocean which define the reef and continental shelf contrast vividly with the 5km of soft, white sand and tropical green island vegetation. The sight for the first time visitor is never to be forgotten and the return visitor eagerly awaits that memory.

Guests stay at Bird Island Lodge which is the only hotel on the island. Apart from the guests and staff, there are no other human inhabitants.

Bird Island Lodge offers a unique blend of hospitality, relaxation and simplicity in a non-sophisticated and natural environment.

Manned entirely by friendly Seychellois staff, offering no gimmicks, the Lodge is your base to explore all aspects of this beautiful island.

There are no pretentions here. We are very clear about what we have, and what you will not find on Bird.

No televisions in the rooms: we feel this would detract from the natural sounds and sights around you.

No air-conditioning: excellent natural ventilation and ceiling fans ensure the rooms are always kept cool.

No telephones in the rooms: there are telephone, fax and E-mail facilities available at the office.

No swimming pool: the beach offers excellent and safe swimming at all times.

No intrusive service: our friendly staff are always attentive and ready with a smile.

The main hotel building with the Reception, Lounge, Restaurant and Bar is situated a couple of minutes walk from the airstrip where guests arrive on the only flight each day.

Bird island Lodge has received an ecotourism award for careful island management in harmony with the other inhabitants - its birds!

Between May and October the island attracts millions of Sooty Terns coming to nest, while during the rest of the year there is a great variety of local and migratory birds.
