How about spending your next vacation in the Seychelles? And what if, what’s more, you were invited to stay on a private island in this paradise archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean? So you’ll be following in the footsteps of actress Angelina Jolie, who regularly chooses to stay at a private villa on the North Island. Welcome to the paradise island of Seychelles!
Shiny! This is an apt term to describe the North Island in the Seychelles archipelago. Green, luxurious, highly private, surrounded by beaches worthy of wild dreams, North Island caters to the highest demands of its wealthy clientele that includes many celebrities.

From the beginning, we understand that American actress Angelina Jolie seems to have fallen in love with this place. The woman who earned the title of one of the most traveled women in the world finds many advantages in relaxing in the Seychelles. Being involved in numerous philanthropic commitments and supporting various humanitarian causes in Africa, the proximity to Seychelles, which despite being an independent state is part of the African continent, suits him perfectly. Being a constant target of the paparazzi, the isolation offered by the North Island is a great asset for the star.
Also, since two of her children are from Africa and she likes to travel with her children, this is a way to give them a chance to reconnect with their roots occasionally. Moreover, the star has already said in an interview that traveling is a great way to expand your horizons.

To discover the Seychelles, we visit the main island, Mahe, where the capital, Victoria, is located. If Mah has multiple attractions, you should know that the archipelago consists of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, northeast of the island of Madagascar and north of Mauritius and Réunion. Only about thirty islands are inhabited.
There are world famous beaches, lush forests and coral reefs. The islands are granite or coral, which explains the presence of granite rocks sculpted by erosion that punctuate certain beaches, offering a postcard setting.
