If you’ve ever lusted after the idea of a stay on a desert island, or you’re at boiling point with tech, stress, and everyday strife, then this is the respite holiday you need in your schedule.
More than an idyllic beach resort, Denis Island is, as the name suggests, like granting you a desert island to yourself (well, you and some other equally weary and paradise-seeking guests). This is a truly magical place, managing to be luxurious and sophisticated, although more rustic and close to nature in its styling and ambience.

Set among the island’s natural vegetation, just 25 free-standing cottages and villas make up the accommodation on the island, which gives you a sense of just how private and special this is. There’s a real sense of simplicity about the décor within each of the villas, nodding towards the influence of nature, and yet providing a sense of privileged luxury at the same time.
Calmly decorated in pale colours, these cottages are set directly on the beachfront so you can be reclining on the pristine sands just moments from your door. Comprising a sitting area and a furnished sea-facing veranda, plus an open air bathroom, your stay will be peppered with the delicious sea air and soothing sounds of the ocean lapping the shore. Simply bliss!
A more luxury option, with king-size bed and a lounge area, the villa is beautifully decorated in woods and pale hues. It’s simple, but utterly stylish at the same time. You’ll have an extensive outdoor living space, private courtyard, dining pavilion and plunge pool.
Situated directly on the beachfront and featuring a sea-facing veranda with lounge chairs just waiting for you to recline on, these villas are ideal for those that enjoy watching the waves lap against the shore. The cottage also boasts a private courtyard and garden with a massage pavilion calling out to all guests for some relaxation time.
The key point about its location is that you’ll feel a million miles from anywhere. Denis Island is toward the most northerly point of the Seychelles (it’s actually the second most northerly island), and it’s some 52 miles from Mahé. The very remote nature means it truly is a holiday setting for doing little other than relaxing and recharging. Transfer to the resort is by airplane, organised in advance.
Some say this is the venue for the very best food in the Seychelles. Perhaps that’s because Denis has its own small organic farm, from which meat is used within the hotel’s main restaurant. Promoting healthy cuisine is top of the island’s agenda so expect hearty meals your taste buds, and body, will thank you for!
As you’ll probably have gathered by the insight so far, this is not a holiday brimming with watersports, pamper possibilities or every leisure pursuits known to man. The idea is digital detox and utter calm, although you can indulge in some diving, swimming, sport fishing, or perhaps a few spa treatments in your room. However, the greatest accolade to this island is that its waters boast an official protected status so its brimming with tropical fish and sea turtles. Grab your snorkel and get exploring! Oh, and did we mention there’s a turtle sanctuary?
While there is no dedicated spa facility on Denis Island, the award-winning resort does offer treatments which are all carried out in the privacy of your villa or cottage. You’re well advised to book these in advance, as there are only a limited number of staff providing such a personal and attentive service.
Products used are coconut-oil based, and all made in the Seychelles, so you know you’re getting something utterly natural and indulgent at the same time.
