Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island SEYCHELLES, INDIAN OCEAN
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 vibrant coral reefs, Desroches Island is an idyllic tropical enclave in the heart of the Indian Ocean. 71 luxury villas and suites lie along the coastline, each with its own pool and private garden. Serenity intertwines with adventure and
indulgence in every corner of the resort. Begin the day with a dip and a leisurely breakfast before boarding a boat charter to explore colourful reefs and tucked-away bays while the resort concierge sets the stage for pool deck dining as the sun sets. 15 stunning dive sites and some of the world’s best
fishing 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 of Sunset Beach
while intermediate and experienced riders enjoy the larger waves of the outer reef breaks. Tennis, beach volleyball and personal training
sessions are perfect for active hours, while a sunset yoga session is ideal for winding down. 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 the flavours of the world to
the Indian Ocean with Mediterranean specialities at Claudine, a contemporary Japanese sushi bar, and sizzling grills with 180-degree views at The Lighthouse. Between meals, refreshing drinks and snacks are enjoyed poolside at The Bar, or on the elevated perch of the Lighthouse Lounge. 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.
