Scene
Luxury island resort surrounded by lush scenery; attracts couples and families willing to splurge
Situated on its own gorgeous, private island, the five-pearl Desroches Island is ideal for travelers seeking a secluded holiday. The resort features stunning grounds dotted with palm trees, tropical plants and flowers, green lawns, and pristine white-sand beaches, while open-air wooden architecture has a contemporary, beachy feel. The outdoors meld into the interiors, with lush greenery peeking into the open-air structures and providing a beautiful backdrop. The vibe is one of eco-conscious, laid-back luxury -- this is the type of place where celebrities come to lounge in massive villas, use the bikes provided to explore the island, and snorkel at one of the beaches (do expect a little bit of seaweed). Most guests are (unsurprisingly) couples with romance in mind, but the resort also draws families.
Location
Located on private island, a 40-minute flight from Mahé island
The resort is situated on its own private island of the same name, which is located 143 miles southwest of Mahé island. The island is accessed via a 40-minute flight from Mahé and has it's own airstrip. Nearly four miles long and about a half mile wide, the island has nearly nine miles of white-sand beaches. Guests receive bikes that they are free to use to navigate around, and buggy service can also be requested to shuttle around the grounds, as some units can be quite far from the main building and restaurant.
