Four degrees south of the equator, Fregate is an island of outstanding natural beauty.

Families and visitors who enjoy the seclusion of our beaches and villas will be doing so inside a world-class preservation – and this marriage of environment and nature to luxury and privacy is what I hope to enhance as Managing Director,” said Mr. Kafscak of his new appointment.
