Desroches Island Lodge is one of the best of the small, remote islands of the Seychelles. Its claim to fame is that here you can have it all... the allure and simplicity of an untouched natural paradise and sanctuary without leaving behind the luxury and sophistication that modern life has to offer...

Desroches Island Lodge delights in its unspoilt lush vegetation, fringed by sandy beaches. Beyond the coral reefs are a paradise for divers. Yet their nature-inspired modern beach retreats and villas provide luxury, space and opulent indulgence...

Descroches Island Lodge is one of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, a remote coral atoll about 230km south-west of Mahe (yet the daily flight from Mahe takes only 35 minutes). This is a real island paradise in the truest sense of the word. The island stretches to 6km in length and about 1½km at its widest point. Acres of shady palm trees circle 14km of sandy beaches which lead to the clear turquoise waters sheltered by the surrounding coral reef.
