This private island is full of giant millipedes warms which enter your villa, your underwear, clothes and food! Outrageously expensive : £3000+ a night for a villa and you get to experience this phobia!
I and my husband booked our stay for 6 nights via Knightsbridge Circle Luxury concierge company based in London.
After 3 nights, upon waking up with these millipedes next to my bed and clothes, I had enough and demanded to leave the island immediately.
We moved to the newly opened Six Senses resort which was free from any of these creatures and had great service.
So we basically had to pay again for our holiday.
I have been several times to Seychelles to different islands. These millipedes are native to Fregate Island only.
On top of that, Fregate private island whose management charges outrageous amounts to their guests, does not have any activities! They do not even have a proper boat to begin with. We booked a private day trip to the other islands and they wanted to put us in a transport ferry boat, can you imagine?
To give some credit, their beaches are beautiful but warning: you can’t swim in any because of strong currents and waves and also to get to them there are like 200 steep stairs down. My husband slipped and fell on his back. Very dangerous.
Last but not least, there were like 300 types of birds nesting and pooping everywhere.
To sum up: this island is not adequate for tourism. They need to make a lot of changes and lower their unreasonable prices. - via
