Denis Private Island Denis Island, Seychelles
Denis Private Island is the ultimate destination for travellers in search of an exclusive getaway that offers the best of island living. Unpretentious, yet subtly luxurious, this resort delights its guests with a plethora of outdoor adventures: snorkel or scuba dive pristine reefs, kayak or paddle board across crystalline waters, scout the forests for endangered bird species or seek out turtle tracks along the beach. The relatively un-fished waters surrounding Seychelles’ northern islands make Denis Island an angler’s dream. Ease into the slower pace of island life with an outdoor spa treatment, using locally-made products, or relax beside the ocean-facing infinity pool, with waves gently crashing in the background. Delightful meals are crafted by a team of world-class chefs, using the finest local ingredients sourced directly from the island’s own farm.
