Desroches island

Ultimate guide (May 2025)
Desroches is a small island to the west of Mahe Island in Seychelles. It is a perfect tropical paradise with perfect hotel. There are many great beaches with palms and smooth sandy entry into the water. There are also good snorkeling spots. It is worth to ask hotel staff about best directions. The island is big enough, but not too big. So you can ride by bike to any beach on the island - choosing the one that is currently the best. Depending on current weather conditions and wind, sometimes there may be algae or waves on occasional beaches. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
This island ranks #3 of the "Best islands in the Indian Ocean"

Hotels [edit]

Four Seasons Resort Desroches is an upscale five-star property with rooms' rates starting from US$1500 per night. Service is great - like all other Four Seasons. But it also has exclusive location on a remote and beautiful island. Regular charter flights to main Mahe island are convenient for short visits to this beautiful place.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Seychelles international airport (SEZ). Next fly to Desroches Airport (DES).

When to go [edit]

Feel free to travel to Seychelles any time of year. The nature is more beautiful in the rainy season from October to April. While the dry season will give you more sunny days.
