Denis Private Island Seychelles Hotel - Denis Island

Luxury private island resort on a 200 hectare sanctuary in Seychelles

Accommodation

Each of the 23 cottages at Denis Private Island Seychelles has a private beachfront, furnished terrace, and an open-air bathroom. The cottages include a spacious indoor living area with an extended deck offering sea-facing day beds. Most units also have a private garden courtyard that leads directly to the sand and water.

Dining

The island's restaurant operates a farm-to-table concept sourcing meat, vegetables, and fruits from its own on-site farm. Guests can enjoy Japanese night featuring ocean-fresh sushi and sashimi prepared by the chefs. Themed dinners include a Creole night and a beach BBQ, with most ingredients caught or grown on Denis Private Island.

Activities

Denis Island provides bicycles, snorkel gear, paddle boards, and kayaks for guests to explore the island and surrounding waters at no extra cost. The on-site PADI dive centre offers scuba diving trips, and fishing excursions target black marlin and other species. Guests can walk or cycle through the forest to see giant tortoises, including a 126-year-old resident named Toby.

Wellness & Conservation

The spa offers treatments using local natural products, with massage therapies available on the beach or in the cottage. Denis Private Island has received the Most Conservation Tag & Release Award from The Billfish Foundation and Top Indian Ocean Honours in Sustainable Hospitality. A no-take zone around the island protects marine life, supporting turtle and ray populations seen by snorkellers.

The resort is reached by a 30-minute flight from Mahé, landing on a grass airstrip that offers views of the island. Denis Seychelles occupies its own 200 hectare island with no other hotels, giving guests exclusive access to the beaches and forest.
