plantation and hydroponics

Frégate Island Private has its own source of fresh water and most of the fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs consumed on the island are homegrown. In addition to a vibrant profusion of naturally growing fruit - including mangos, papayas, guava, bilimbi (related to star fruit), coconuts, melons and bananas - a dedicated team of gardeners cultivate a wide range of organic produce in the island's plantation and Hydroponics House. Open for guided tours, guests are able to see all the produce growing first hand, learn about the techniques used, and savour distinctive aromas such as coffee, mint, cashew apple and vanilla. Produce is harvested daily and the executive chef's menus place a firm emphasis on simplicity and seasonality to maximise the food's natural goodness and bring out the rich natural flavours.
