60 miles north of Mahe and covering a land area of just 375 acres, Denis Island Private offers relaxed tropical accommodation within 25 luxury chalets scattered alongside the beach areas on either side of the main centre pavilion. With a collection of five different styles of cottages and villas, you are guaranteed to find the one best suited to your needs.  Your choices range from the delightful Beach Cottages, the DeLuxe Beach Cottages,  Beachfront Spa Cottages, the 2 bedroom Family Villa and finally the Beach Villa with a beachside plunge pool.

The highly acclaimed restaurant will delight you with an array of freshly caught produce, marinated meats, exotic salads and vegetables, a fusion of tastes enhanced by the local herbs and spices. The restaurant offers both indoor dining within the vaulted thatched dining room or outdoor dining on the garden decking. Alternatively,  it could be breakfast in bed or a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach or an intimate table for two in your own cottage.

The island has a small local village, an ancient lighthouse built in 1910, a redundant copra mill, the St Denis Chapel and a wonderful giant tortoise sanctuary, all easily accessible via the meandering sand paths and palm-fringed walks. Bicycles are also provided. What could be better than a casual stroll around a tropical island, with no crowds, no fuss, just simple nature at its very best.

Protectively guarded by coral reefs, the natural lagoons provide sheltered swimming, snorkelling and water sports all year round. The small professional dive centre is on hand should you wish to explore the underwater world, offering dives and tuition for beginners and advanced divers alike. A small swimming pool adds to the attraction of Denis Island. There is also the opportunity to experience some of the best game fishing in the world, boasting catches of marlin, sail fish, dorado, yellow fin tuna, barracuda and wahoo, to be then prepared and brought to your table that evening.

In-room spa treatments are provided by specialist trained therapists inspired by Swedish, Indian and Seychelloise techniques. 

For families contemplating a visit to Denis Island for the first time, children are most welcome and thankfully with beautiful safe, soft sand beaches, bikes to ride, a TV room, tennis court, giant tortoises, water sports and swimming, Denis is absolute bliss for the young ones. 

To finish the day, your hosts will tempt you with a fine selection of tropical cocktails whilst relaxing in the classical informal lounge, listening to the resident guitarist or to the beautiful chords of the ocean's melody.
