The advent of civilisation can often disturb the allure and simplicity of paradise. To delight in ultimate luxury there usually has to be sacrifice. But what if we want it all . . . to experience an untouched natural sanctuary on an island in the far reaches of the Indian Ocean, without leaving behind the sophistication that modern life has to offer . . .

Private Desroches Island is a luxurious Seychelles Resort in the Amirante Archipelago, considered to be of the most pristine and untouched islands still around today. The naturally inspired and tastefully modern Beach Retreats and Exclusive Villas provide the epitome in luxury and opulent indulgence.

Blessed with one of the world’s healthiest climates, and miles of unblemished beaches, Desroches Island is a refuge for romance, adventure and pampered relaxation.

Desroches Island is truly a fantasy paradise for the kid in everyone . . . and thus children of ALL ages - from 1 to 101 - are welcomed and catered for! Parents can relive their youth with their children, exploring the ultimate island together as a family and taking pleasure in getting the whole family involved.

The resident conservation team offers guided nature walks around the island where families can learn about current research projects and the endangered fauna and flora on the island. You can even adopt an Aldabra baby tortoise from our nursery - a wonderful donation for the family to enjoy! Embark on an early morning bird walk, go search for foods of the forest, observe turtles hatching and explore the wonders of the night sky.

Families can learn to fish with our "fish whisperers" and learn how to cook and prepare their catch in the privacy of their own villa.
