Seychelles
Desroches Island
You will stay in one of 70 tastefully decorated bungalows, villas and suites, just steps from the beach.
In the hotel's main area, understated colonial style blends harmoniously with the island's natural inspiration. There are two restaurants, an elegant cocktail bar, and an outdoor sun terrace with sweeping views over the pool and beach.
Savour appetising seafood and traditional Creole cuisine, or opt for a relaxed poolside meal with beach views.
An open lounge beneath traditional thatched roofs that capture the gentle tropical breeze completes this idyllic setting. Tucked away in the gardens are several spa suites, a yoga pavilion, a gym, a water sports centre, a lit tennis court, and an indoor games room offering plenty to do.
Children are welcome.
Designed specially for them: an outdoor playground, a games pavilion, air-conditioned relaxation rooms, a teen center, family activities, and a babysitting service if needed.
The accommodations, spread through the gardens along the beach, include a choice of bungalows, suites, spacious villas and multi-room residences to suit every taste. Each room has a superb indoor and outdoor bathroom, a private patio with pool, and understated modern luxury in perfect harmony with the natural setting. The villas offer open-plan living spaces, while the residences come with a fully equipped kitchen, an elegant dining room and a private butler.
Relax in one of the five spa treatment suites, surrounded by the island's exotic flora and fauna, creating a natural sense of tranquillity to soothe body and mind.
Cycling, water sports, diving lessons, tennis, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, paddleboarding — many activities will fill your stay.
Walk along pristine beaches, swim and snorkel in sheltered bays, and hike through the humid rainforest, home to colourful butterflies and birds.
Desroches has a dedicated water sports centre for scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Deep-sea fishing trips and cruises to neighbouring islands can also be arranged. Hop on a bicycle and ride along the tracks and trails, meet the residents of the small village and be sure to visit the Aldabra giant tortoises. For a quieter pace, stay close by and enjoy a game of tennis, a session at the gym, followed by a treatment at the spa.
Finally, unwind by the pool with a local cocktail or two.
