Denis Private Island

Accommodation

The mere 25 free-standing cottages and villas on Denis enjoy total privacy, scattered at various walking distances from the beach and are separated by the island’s natural vegetation.

The spacious rooms echo the Seychelles’ colonial past, from the furniture and wood flooring to the refined simplicity of the décor. All the rooms have open-air bathrooms, garden courtyards and air-conditioning.

There is no in-room internet or cable television. This is for you to unplug from digital distraction and reconnect to the loved ones you hold dear, and to the earth that you share with them.

Dining

The island’s farm provides the international culinary team with delicious fresh ingredients. Hearty breakfasts feature fresh eggs and dairy, while lunch buffets showcase authentic Creole and international cuisine. Enjoy intricate five-course table d’hote dinner menus that showcase the creativity and skill of the chefs. This experience can be enjoyed in the understated elegance of the dining pavilion, or at a romantic seaside table-setting under the stars.

Facilities

Denis Island is a place where you can bathe along beaches renowned the world over for their pristine beauty, snorkel in a sea turtle sanctuary, spot some of the rarest birds on earth, and go sport-fishing at the edge of a continental ocean drop-off.

Snorkelling equipment and kayaks and paddles are provided for you to explore the island’s surrounding lagoon to your heart’s content. The waters around Denis have enjoyed officially protected status by the Seychelles government, making it a no-take zone and off limits for fishing. The reefs in the lagoon are thus teeming with tropical fish, turtles and other colourful forms of marine life. The PADI dive centre offers a range of different dive sites to choose from, as well as certification courses for beginners.

Relaxing treatments can be brought to you at your cottage in the open air, and enthusiasts can opt for the Beachfront Spa Cottage, with its very own spa pavilion in the courtyard. Or, if you truly wish to retreat within yourself amidst the soothing sounds of nature, indulge in an outdoor treatment under the casuarina trees.
