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.
