Denis Private Island
Denis Island, Seychelles
Why we love it
A privately owned coral island in Seychelles, Denis Island is the perfect location for true escapism. The island is made up of 131 hectares, fringed by coconut palms, pristine white sands and coral reefs.
Denis Private Island in Seychelles has just 25 individual, spacious cottages, dotted between casuarinas and coconut trees and designed in such a way that ensures you have total privacy, each with a sea-facing veranda as well a private courtyard with outside shower.
The island is renowned for its culinary delights, with considerable amounts of fresh produce used from the island’s own farm and gardens. Occasional beach barbecues are also organised.
The sea is teeming with wildlife, making this an ideal location for snorkelling, with frequent sightings of turtles. Combine this with excellent diving and fishing opportunities, Denis Private Island makes for a dream beach retreat.
Experience first hand the conservation of green and hawksbill turtles with a morning trip with the rangers to record egg laying and the nests on the beaches.
Scout the forests to spot critically endangered birds like the magpie robins and paradise flycatchers, and learn about breeding and tagging projects.
Hop on a bicycle and leisurely explore the island and its inhabitants, including its century-old tortoises, secluded beaches and villages.
Explore the marine protected areas and dive sites around the Seychelles to discover the abundant coral reefs, tropical fish and turtles. /p>
Charter a boat to the 'drop off' at the edge of the Seychelles plateau, where there's spectacular catch-and-release fishing of red snapper and bottom-fishing grouper.
Either in the privacy of your own cottage or at the Beachfront Spa Cottage, relax with a deep tissue massage or a pampering manicure whilst unwinding on the beach.
Grab a paddle and kayak around the island in the crystal clear waters of the surrounding lagoon, or stop off for some sunbathing on a secluded beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Alphonse. It was fantastic – we went out fishing and easily caught loads of fish. It was perfect for the family too, and my daughter Lucy started her PADI there. The weather was great the whole time and we really couldn’t fault a single part of our trip.
