A privately owned coral island (by the Mason family), Denis Island is the perfect location for those seeking true escapism, total relaxation and tranquility. The forested interior is home to giant tortoises, land and seabirds and endangered endemic species, all protected by a conservation scheme.

The spacious, luxurious cottages, all sea facing, are scattered alongside the beach areas on either side of the main pavilion. All guests stay on an All Inclusive basis, the highly acclaimed restaurant serves an excellent menu choice or Creole buffet. Considerable amounts of fresh produce are used from the island's own farm and gardens. Occasional beach barbecues are also organised.

An extensive range of Spa treatments is also available and these are taken in the comfort of your own cottage. The natural lagoons provide sheltered swimming, snorkelling and water sports all year round. The small PADI dive centre provides a range of dive excursions and courses for beginners and advanced divers. There is also the opportunity to experience some of the best game fishing in the world.

Location

Situated 95km north of Mahé Island. The transfer by air takes about 30 minutes.

Tour of the Farm & Estate

The island’s estate uses organic methods to meet the needs of the island’s guests and inhabitants - rearing poultry for meat and eggs, cattle for milk, vegetables, fruits and herbs grown in soil fertilized by sea grass; and fish caught in the fertile waters.

The natural oils extracted from the island’s coconut trees are used in massage and wellness treatments. Furniture is fashioned at the island’s workshop from the timber of fallen trees in the island’s forest; the water is drawn and desalinated from underground wells and supplemented by rain catchment reservoirs.

Turtle Watching (seasonal)

Hawksbill and green turtles lay their eggs on Denis’ protected shoreline. They are monitored and tagged, providing valuable information assisting the protection of the species.
