Poised on a 375-acre coral island, surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, Denis Private Island Seychelles is one of the planet(TM)s most magical retreats. This romantic sanctuary is just a 30-minute flight from Mahé, on the rim of the Seychelles plateau that divides the archipelago(TM)s inviting shallow waters from the mid-ocean depths. Each element emphasizes the natural bounty of the region, from the elegant sea-facing chalets to dining experiences that include candlelit dinner à deux on the beach. Once a pirate(TM)s lair, the island boasts numerous treasures waiting to be discovered. You might embark on a nature walk in search of local tortoise, board a Mako 34(TM) Striker for a day of fishing, or visit the old village, whose buildings date back to the 1930s. Bottom fishing the flats is another popular way to unwind, as is scuba diving, canoeing and exploring the unique, diverse eco-system that has changed little since explorers first arrived on these pristine shores two centuries ago.

Denis Private Island is the ultimate luxury castaway experience. There is no WiFi or TV in the rooms which makes for a real digital detox although WiFi is available in the lobby and TV in the library. On arrival we were met by golf buggy for the short five minute transfer from the airstrip, and throughout our stay we used personal bicycles to get between our chalet and the main area which was such a fun touch. The villas are spacious with private beach access, outdoor bathrooms, and powder white sand just steps away. Snorkeling on the house reef near the pool gave us unforgettable encounters with turtles and rays, while on land we fed giant tortoises, including one that is 128 years old, and enjoyed the incredible birdlife. Dining was excellent with every meal amazing thanks to the fantastic head chef and his team and most food is local with lots from their own farm on the island. A special thank you to Narinder, Gopal, and Remi for their warm and attentive service at each meal. The arrival and departure by four seater plane was another highlight, with stunning views of the islands and turquoise sea below. This is perfect for honeymooners as it is private and romantic, and also highly recommended for families who want to reconnect with nature without compromising on comfort.

Denis Private Island was nothing short of immaculate! You are welcomed as a family and you feel that way also during the whole stay. We lived in Chalet No 29 which was fantastic, our own ”private” beach outside the house. Food - Excellent and good variety Service - almost too good for a Swede. Sometimes you would like more privacy during lunch, dinner etc. We took a massage at the beach outside our house and this was great. Bicycle around the Island was also exciting. One evening the dinner was on the other side of the island, to was MAGIC❣️ starting at the beach with small fires and comfy duffel bags in the sunset.

A friend and I recently spent 3 nights on Denis Island. The ocean/beach setting, service and staff were simply beyond compare - they were literally “out of this world”. The white sandy beaches, the teaming bird and marine life (swimming with turtles was amazing), the friendly staff (nothing was too much trouble - I even got invited to a friendly, staff cricket match!), the outstanding cuisine variety for every meal ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). If you want a once-in-a-lifetime holiday (short or long), this is the place to go. There’s no place like it on earth - and you will never forget the beautiful, memorable experience that is DENIS ISLAND❤️. We won’t!

Best hotel we’ve done travelling together. Everything was perfect, from the food to the island, from the beaches to the people, etc etc Island tour with Debra was great, welcoming by Susmitha was great, spa massage in front of the sea was amazing, and the turtles everywhere + the swim with the sharks is incredible. Don’t hesitate, and enjoy the moment, and the concept of the island.
