Denis Private Island in Seychelles is a living, breathing island neighborhood, for those who consider giving back to nature is the only way to accept its bounty in return.
It’s a place where you can bathe along beaches celebrated the world over for their pristine beauty, snorkel in a sea turtle sanctuary, spot some of the rarest birds on earth, and go sport-fishing at the perimeter of a continental ocean drop-off…and all of that in a single day.
You won’t find a signal for your mobile phone when you arrive. There is no in-room internet. No cable television. This is for you to unplug from digital distraction and reconnect to the loved ones you hold dear, and to the earth that you share with them.
On Denis, you’ll re-discover a over and done mode of luxury: one of real food and real people, wrapped up in nature on one of the most private islands in the world.
Welcome to Seychelles. Welcome to the Denis Private Island life.
With the ocean depths close by, the island justly deserves its standing for outstanding diving and as a game fisherman’s heaven.
On land, the lush and densely woody interior echoes with the melodious trills and calls of numerous species of land and seabirds. A walk along the paths is full of surprise and wonder.
On-going conservation projects to restore part of the island to its pre-discovery state have seen over 50 hectares of woodland rehabilitated, giant tortoises meander along and no-where else will you come across such a combination of some of the world’s most endangered endemic species.
The island slowly reveals its riches and mysteries: from its 100 year old lighthouse warning passing ships against hazardous shoals and reefs still, the miscellany of a inexplicable cemetery for which no known records exist, an old settlement, the coral structures next to the grass airstrip to the only ecumenical chapel of the Seychelles.
Amongst the fauna, the
most famous ones are the turtles, the magpie robins and the paradise
flycatchers which are only found on Denis Island. Strolling during the coasts of the crescent-shaped island with
its beautiful views and white sand beaches is also a great way to spend a day here.
