Whether you prefer to be in or on the water, Denis Private Island’s famous boat trips will get you close to manta rays, turtles and dolphins, and there is always the option to get closer with snorkelling and diving.

Guided nature walks along meandering pathways are a great way to see more of the island, or head towards the old lighthouse with a chance to see rare birds along the way.

Complimentary bicycles for guests mean you can also strike out on your own and discover the island’s rainforest for yourself, and for those that are keen, cycling around the whole island will take no more than two hours.

Hawksbill and green turtles both come here to nest, so there’s a good chance of seeing hatchlings making their way across the beach to the water for the first time; for hawksbill newborns visit between December - April and for green turtle little ones between April - June or August - October.

The main area houses the airy seafront restaurant and bar, with its enviable reputation for serving some of the finest cuisine in the Seychelles. The themed evenings, namely the Creole buffet and Japanese buffet twice a week, provide the opportunity to sample a variety of dishes from live cooking stations.

We also recommend trying the weekly barbecue night, which is often set up on the beach, with long communal tables for guests to get together and enjoy the succulent meats on offer. For a more intimate option, a special menu can be served in the privacy of the Wine Cellar.

25 beautiful cottages each offer a private beachfront, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, iPod docking station, tea/coffee making facilities, mini fridge, indoor and outdoor shower, free-standing bath and double vanities.

Cottages have their own sea facing verandah and are dotted around the island between coconut palms and the powder white sands to ensure total privacy.

The 10 Beachfront Spa Cottages additionally feature a wooden terrace with outdoor sala and a massage pavilion. For families we recommend the extra space of the Family Cottage, due to its separate bedroom and lounge area, accommodating two adults and up to three children under 18 yrs.

Honeymooners will love the Beach Villa with its private plunge pool, large outdoor space with barbecue and dining pavilion, and massage wellness zone for private treatments.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the swimming pool at Denis Private Island is closed and no longer available for use. The resort plan to re-landscape this area and a swimming pool will no longer be offered.  The island is however surrounded by the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, a natural aquatic playground.
