LOCATION
ROOM INFO
Denis Private Island is the second north easternmost
Island in the Seychelles. It is 60 miles north of Mahé and
lies at the northern edge of the Seychelles bank, along
with the nearby Bird Island, which is the northernmost
Seychelles Island. The 1.31 km² coral island was named
after the French explorer Denis de Trobriand, who
visited it in 1773.
Stretched along the beach on north western tip of the
island, each nestling in its lush surrounds and separated
from each other by gardens and hedges, the 25 cottages
are well appointed with generously proportioned, open
living spaces, offering unpretentious comfort with the
talcum‐soft beaches just steps away.
