the island is a nature lover’s paradise and is not suitable for those seeking nightlife and organised activity. November to March is the turtle breeding season when Hawksbill turtles come ashore to lay their eggs and sightings of turtle hatchlings are possible. April to October is the bird breeding season when around 60 000 pairs of Lessor Noddy Terns breed on the island. A fantastic experience amidst luxury and true five star service.
