Couples looking for the ultimate beach holiday – with plenty of opportunity to be active in and out of the water. The Desroches Island Villas are also great for families and groups of friends.
On Desroches Island, the largest of the Amirantes group of islands, a 35- minute flight from Mahe, Seychelles.
There are just 20 luxurious junior suites a few steps from the beach all with sea views and lovely touches such as outdoor showers, canopied mosquito nets and two bicycles per suite for exploring the island. 28 four- and five-bedroom beautiful villas are perfect for families with private pools, kayaks and bicycles. All have technology in all the right places with full air-conditioning and satellite television.
Dining at Le Veloutier restaurant is varied, ranging from international cuisine to seafood barbecues and Creole buffets. Private dining is a highlight with so many secluded corners on the island so you can enjoy a romantic dinner or lunch with friends on the beach, by the pool, or in your suite. The watersports centre arranges diving, snorkelling, fishing and sea kayaking, while the two tennis courts and cycling tours keep you busy on dry land. The Balinese masseuses at the spa keep you oh-so-relaxed with a range of wonderful massages and treatments available.
Do as much or as little as you like! While many come to Desroches Island to simply relax and unwind, with the range of water- and land-based sports available, there’s plenty to do for active types. Take a sunset cruise, marvel at the giant tortoises and nesting turtles, snorkel and dive at the reef, try your hand at deep sea or fly fishing and explore the island by bike.
