The four exclusive villas on Cousine ensure that there are no more than ten guests on the island at any time ensuring that human impact is strictly controlled and minimized. Cousine Island can only be reached by helicopter and it is this seclusion that makes it such an attractive haven for people wanting absolute privacy.
