North Island extends Management Agreement with North Island, a Luxury Collection Resort, for another three years

Zurich, 09.05.2022 – ASMALLWORLD and North Island, a Luxury Collection Resort, have agreed to extend their partnership and have renewed ASMALLWORLD’s management agreement for the luxurious Seychelles resort for another three years.

North Island (www.north-island.com), a private island in the Seychelles and one of the world’s most iconic luxury resorts, has been managed by ASMALLWORLD since 2019. Under ASMALLWORLD’s management, the resort’s technological infrastructure was upgraded, the operational team was strengthened and multiple property improvements were made to ensure that North Island continues meet the high demands of its guests.

In December 2019, ASMALLWORLD brokered an agreement with Marriott for North Island to join Marriott’s The Luxury Collection, which is comprised of world-renowned hotels offering unique, authentic experiences. This collaboration allowed North Island to leverage Marriott’s wide-reaching distribution channels, creating greater awareness and sales for the resort. North Island also joined Marriott’s Bonvoy loyalty program, allowing guests to earn and redeem points at the resort.

After three successful years, North Island’s owner decided to continue the partnership with ASMALLWORLD and the parties agreed to extend the existing management agreement for another three years.

“North Island is a one-of-a-kind luxury property and offers a truly immersive, barefoot luxury experience. We are thrilled to continue to manage this amazing property for another three years and hope to delight many more guests with the resort’s beauty and first-class customer service, commented Jan V. Luescher, CEO of ASMALLWORLD
