The Island

A tiny speck in the Indian Ocean ringed by flawless white sand, just 375 acres and none of it off-limits to see and explore.

Denis Island is a living, breathing island community, for those who believe giving back to nature is the only way to receive its bounty in return.

It’s 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…and all of that in a single day.

You won’t find a signal for your mobile phone when you arrive. There is no in-room internet. No 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.

On Denis, you’ll re-discover a forgotten mode of luxury: one of real food and real people, immersed in nature on one of the most secluded islands in the world.

Welcome to Seychelles. Welcome to the Denis Private Island life.

Unique, magical, and unforgettable. A very special place. Different from any other vacation we’ve had in the Seychelles so far. The atmosphere is wonderful, and you truly feel like you’re living in the heart of nature. The service and kindness of every single member of the staff, without exception, are of the highest standard. The food is excellent.

A birthday trip we’ll never forget We recently stayed at Denis Private Island to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and it turned into a trip we’ll always remember. From the moment we landed, the staff made us feel welcome. We were taken to the resort by buggy, and on the way we were already greeted by giant tortoises, which made me smile because they’re my favourite animals. Our cottage was beautiful, spacious, and just a few steps from a stunning beach with powder white sand and crystal clear turquoise water. It felt like having our own private paradise. The staff also helped make the birthday extra special. Our bedroom had been beautifully decorated, we enjoyed a romantic private dinner on the beach under the stars, and the next morning they surprised my boyfriend with a birthday cake at breakfast. These thoughtful touches made the celebration even more memorable. One of my favourite ways to explore the island was by bicycle. It’s peaceful, surrounded by nature, and a wonderful way to discover the beauty of the island at your own pace. I have to admit I was nervous about flying on the small plane because I’m scared of small aircraft, but the views during the flight were absolutely breathtaking and made the journey part of the experience. Denis Island is the perfect place if you’re looking to disconnect from busy life, enjoy nature, and simply relax. Thank you to the whole team for making this birthday celebration so special. We left with memories that will stay with us forever.

A true paradise in the Seychelles. If there is a corner of paradise on Earth, it is certainly on Denis Private Island. We were lucky to stay there and we literally fell under the charm of this island and this establishment. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed with great warmth and kindness. A big thank you to Nicolas, the director of the establishment, for his attentive welcome and constant concern for the well-being of his guests. Throughout our stay, we were impressed by the quality of the service. Every staff member is smiling, professional, and attentive. The services are truly high-end. The chalets are spacious, elegant, and offer all the expected comfort in an establishment of this category. We would like to extend our special thanks to Bosco, our room attendant, as well as Gwaru, the courtyard and garden attendant, who took great care of our chalet and its beautiful private garden. The garden and its outdoor bed provide a true haven of peace to fully enjoy moments of relaxation in complete privacy. Thank you to Debra for her kindness and the passion with which she introduced us to the island during a particularly interesting tour. Thanks also to Narender for his availability and efficiency in responding to all our requests. The island is beautifully maintained, with stunning flower beds, trees, and shrubs. The bicycles available (from 8 AM to 5 PM) allow for easy movement and free exploration of the island: the giant tortoise enclosure, the small church, the farm,... Meals are offered in buffet style or à la carte. They are of excellent quality and very varied. We particularly appreciated the "farm to table" concept, with many products coming directly from the farm and the island's crops. Finally, the fact that Wi-Fi is available only in common areas (restaurant, bar, and reception) is ultimately a real asset. This allows for a disconnection from daily life, enabling full enjoyment of the place.

Paradise!! What a fabulous experience! Without doubt one of the best holiday destinations I've stayed at. Of course, being a Private Island, this is an expensive place to go but my fiancé and I chose this as the place we wanted to get married and enjoy our honeymoon as part of a longer stay in the Seychelles. Everything about Denis Island surpassed our expectations. The beauty of the island, from the amazing beaches to the conservation area and the various tracks you can explore / cycle. The quality of the food, almost all grown, farmed or caught on or near the Island, totally organic and with zero waste, this farm to table was plentiful and so varied and tasty. The Staff so friendly, attentive and good at what they do. The chalets, private and comfortable and well equipped with use of bikes to explore the island. The Wedding day itself, well planned and organised in a beautiful spot and with the most delicious romantic dinner on the beach afterward. We can't speak highly enough of the experience we had, the memories we've made and the desire we have to go back again one day for a future anniversary perhaps.

My heart's place! Staying at Denis Island is a memorable experience. The island is enchanting, with lush vegetation, colorful and well-maintained gardens. It hosts many species of birds that create a unique atmosphere, immersed in their perpetual song. The bungalows are spacious, bright, tastefully furnished, and guarantee privacy. The bathroom is equipped with separate toilet and bidet, an outdoor shower, double sink, and bathtub. The food is excellent; we always found plenty of vegetarian options for us. The dinner on the beach on Monday night is unforgettable; they set up a buffet dinner with a barbecue on a beach a bit distant from the rest of the resort, creating a very romantic atmosphere! Snorkeling: we tried only one site, which is located by taking the road parallel to the landing strip, about 8-10 minutes from the bungalows. There are no colorful corals; you can see some fish, but above all... an endless number of turtles! I counted over 20 seen in 20 minutes of snorkeling, including 5 all together! You can see them from the beach because they come up to breathe and swim just a few meters from the shore. Swimming with one of them, following it while it was eating on the bottom, and seeing it swim less than a meter from me was incredible and unforgettable. There are also a decent number of rays :) The staff is always smiling, kind, and helpful, ready to meet the guests' requests. I used the massage service, the treatment directly on the terrace of my bungalow was wonderful, rocked by the waves of the sea and the song of the birds; the masseuse was truly very skilled! WARNING for the flight to Denis Island: the weight limit of 15 kg is strict; they will not allow you to board with excess weight (the charter that takes you to the island, with a capacity of 10 passengers, has a very strict weight limit for safety reasons); you can still leave luggage at the airport storage in Mahe' if you have extra bags: on the island, you will need a swimsuit, a pair of sandals, and a change of clothes, nothing more! A wonderful place absolutely recommended if you can treat yourself to a dream experience!

Magic We enjoyed truly magical moments at Denis. Everything was flawless: the service was exceptionally attentive, and the setting so serene, immaculate, and soothing that it felt like a sanctuary. Snorkeling at Denis was, without doubt, the most enchanting experience we have ever shared. I already find myself longing to return, again and again.

Location

With the ocean depths close by, the island justly deserves its reputation for excellent diving and as a game fisherman’s paradise.

On land, the lush and densely forested interior echoes with the melodious trills and calls of numerous species of land and seabirds. A walk along the paths is full of surprise and wonder.

On-going conservation projects to restore part of the island to its pre-discovery state have seen over 50 hectares of woodland rehabilitated, giant tortoises meander along and no-where else will you come across such a combination of some of the world’s most endangered endemic species.

The island slowly reveals its riches and mysteries: from its 100 year old lighthouse warning passing ships against hazardous shoals and reefs still, the remnants of a mysterious cemetery for which no known records exist, an old settlement, the coral structures next to the grass airstrip to the only ecumenical chapel of the Seychelles.
