Just one hour's flight by light aircraft from Mahe are the Amirantes Islands, the largest being the verdant and picturesque Island of Desroches.
Imagine your dream-deserted island, shining bright and green like a precious stone in crystalline waters.
Just 5 kms in length, Desroches forms part of a lagoon, with coconut palms and casuarinas fringed by 14 kms of white sandy beach.

The Desroches Island Resort is exquisitely exclusive being the only hotel on the island, with 20 spacious suites well equipped with air-conditioning, bath, outdoor shower, ceiling fan, mosquito net, safety deposit box, hairdryer, mini-bar, sitting area and terrace, just yards from the beach, and wonderful service.

The main restaurant offers fine cuisine enhanced by an array of delicious local spices and flavours. Buffets and barbecues can be enjoyed in the open-air surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, a perfect place to unwind and capture the magic moments of the sun setting in the distance.

Discover the island by bicycle, provided free to all guests, through the forest and on to secluded beaches. Other facilities include a bar, beach restaurant and swimming pool.

Desroches Island, surrounded by coral, offers a haven for colourful fish and hawksbill turtles, allowing fantastic snorkelling, diving and fishing. Golf driving range, TV & video lounge, floodlit tennis court, boules, canoes, sailing and windsurfing are at guest's disposal with snorkelling equipment available from the PADI diving centre.

Big game fish (especially marlin, dog-tooth tuna and sailfish) are in abundance and scuba diving is a little bit special (for beginners and experts) with around 14 classified sites to explore including the amazing 'Desroches Drop' and the labyrinthine like 'Canyon'.
Local charge for scuba diving and sea fishing.
