The Farquhar Group lies over 750km to the southwest of Mahe, 350km northeast of Madagascar.
It is comprised of two stunnning atolls, Providence to the north and Farquhar to the south, with a total land area of less than 11 square kilometres.
The only airstrip is on North Island in the Farquhar Atoll and there are small permanent settlements both here and on Providence Island.
At present there is no accommodation, although we have been tipped off that one of the leading safari lodge owners has been granted the right to construct an extremely high end lodge on the Farquhar Atoll.
