Denis Private Island is an informal island sanctuary on one of the Seychelles' most beautiful outer islands. A coral tropical hideaway of 375 acres and a 30 minute flight from Mahe, this tiny island jewel is swathed by vegetation, pristine beaches and surrounded by crystal clear waters and flawless white sand.
A stay on Denis offers an authentic experience of life on a secluded private island. There is no mobile phone signal, no internet, no cable television. This is the time for you to unplug from your daily digital distraction and leave the outside world behind for a few blissful days.
Whether sunbathing on the beach, bathing in the lagoon, enjoying the pool or simply relaxing on your terrace, one pleasure folds into another. There are numerous activities available to guests including canoeing, snorkelling, nature walks, tennis, billiards and a jogging trail. Tours of the island around the farm and estate are organised regularly - guests can vist the old village craft workshops and the giant tortoise colony. Excursions to other islands can also be arranged.
The chef's traditional Seychellois cuisine can be enjoyed in the spacious and airy restaurant, privately on the deck of your own cottage or even on the beach under the stars. Delicious food is produced using fresh local seafood and the island's own gardens, and along with the amazing service, is a special feature of a stay here.
The 23 individual cottages and villas on Denis enjoy total privacy, scattered at various walking distances from the beach and separated by the island’s natural vegetation. Spacious rooms include beautiful handmade furniture and wood flooring fashioned at the island's carpentry workshop just a few hundred metres away, as well as enjoying the luxury of having open-air bathrooms and al-fresco showers in private garden courtyards. Different accommodation categories provide a breadth of choice to suit any preference.
Whether you are a couple, honeymooners, or a family, this is an ideal holiday destination.
Three meals daily; non-motorised land and water-based activities; and Wi-Fi in the library are included. PLEASE NOTE: The Environmental Sustainability Levy is not included and is payable in Seychelles Rupees direct to the hotel on check in/out.
