Four Seasons Resort Seychelles At Desroches SEYCHELLES
At the edge of the Seychelles lies the Amirante archipelago, a remote cluster of pristine and untouched coral atolls. In this tranquil setting, the rustic and intimate retreat of Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island is a private paradise with a castaway feel. Blessed with nine miles of immaculate beaches
surrounded by azure waters and coral reefs, Desroches Island is an idyllic tropical enclave in the Indian Ocean. Seventy one luxury villas and suites lie along the coastline, each with its own pool and private garden, accessible from the white sands. Private retreats with up to seven bedrooms feel like a private home, tucked away in seclusion. More than 15 dive sites and some of the world’s
best fishing spots are accessible each day through the Blue Safari team at the Castaway Centre. Closer to shore, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling and kayaking are included in every stay. Surfing beginners benefit from coaching in the calm waters by the shore while intermediate and experienced riders enjoy the larger waves of the outer reef breaks with experts from the Tropicsurf team.
Tennis, beach volleyball and personal training
sessions are perfect for active hours, then wind down with a sunset yoga session before stargazing from the runway. Visitors looking for romance will find idyllic moments from secluded picnics on the beach to holistic couple’s rituals in the Circle of Connection Spa at the ocean’s edge. Creole cooking classes and local rum tastings will captivate foodies. Expert chefs bring worldwide flavours to the Indian
Ocean with Mediterranean specialities at Claudine, Japanese favourites at sushi bar AHI, and sizzling grills with 180-degree views at The Lighthouse. Committed to sustainability, energy used by the
resort is sourced from renewable or carbon-free sources, including the second largest on-island solar farm in the Seychelles. Menus are crafted from local and seasonal produce wherever possible, with eggs collected daily at the island’s agricultural farm. Aldabra giant tortoises are nurtured and protected
through a biodiversity support programme in partnership with the Island Conservation Society. Hosted activities include tortoise feeding and adoption at the resort’s Tortoise Sanctuary.
