Denis Private Island
Overview
Denis Island offers barefoot luxury amongst the dreamy landscapes of the Seychelles. This private island resort is a romantic escape perfectly suited to honeymooners and couples, offering an easy island lifestyle mixed with luxurious amenities.
Dotted along the beach are the cottages – these charming and well-appointed accommodations are ideal for a relaxed holiday in the Seychelles. Each has a private sea-facing veranda, comfortable beds, plenty of space, and tranquil seclusion. There are no TV's or WiFi in the cottages - only in the hotel's library - so you'll be able to get away from the daily grind and simply enjoy the stunning landscapes around you.
Blessed with icing sugar sand that makes the Seychelles famous, this coral island is also a fantastic spot for diving and other watersports; there’s a PADI dive centre on site offering a range of courses and excursions. You can also enjoy fascinating nature walks, in-room massages and tasty food served at the resort’s restaurant.
Bikes are left outside your cottage so you can explore the island's natural beauty yourself - the hotel offers a few routes to take, each meandering through the exotic flora and whizzing past white sand beaches. With weekly fogging every Wednesday, there are no mosquitos in sight, and the island has also been pest free since 2004.
With their own farm nestled on the island, the food here at Denis Island is fresh and local - they even make their own ice cream. Conservation is a big part of this gorgeous paradise, home to an abundance of endemic birds, and to Toby - a 121 year old giant tortoise. We fully recommend taking part in the hotel's fascinating nature tour, where your guide will drive you around the island on a buggy and teach you all about their conservation and farming efforts.
