Denis Private Island

Dream

Nesting in lush surrounds, well-appointed and generously proportioned cottages and villas are open living spaces designed to offer unpretentious comfort. Bright interiors flow seamlessly into the outdoors and luxurious open-air bathrooms and al fresco showers are hidden in private garden courtyards, with talcum-soft beaches just steps away. Exquisite Beachfront Spa Cottages also boast open-air bathrooms leading into private courtyards each with a massage and wellness zone.

Eat

Whether it's breakfast in bed or a romantic candle-lit dinner on the beach under the stars, an intimate in-villa dining experience or dinner in the terrace dining room, the refined cuisine of Denis Private Island is always tantalising. The chef prepares the most succulent dishes and extensive buffets with live cooking stations featuring produce fresh from the island's estate and fished from the surrounding seas for breakfast and lunch. In the evenings, enjoy Creole speciality nights, barbecues on the beach, sushi and sashimi prepared from the day's catch or elegantly-presented five-course table d’hôte dinners in the dining room.

In the Wine Cellar another journey begins as the perfect wine is selected from the inventory of fine New and Old World Wines and is also the perfect setting for a meal with friends or a romantic dinner for two.

Play

Whether sunbathing on the beach, bathing in the lagoon or simply relaxing by the pool, one pleasure folds into another. Wander through the forest, echoing the calls of land and sea birds and discover the island's flora. Join the resident experts on a bird feeding or nature tour and find out about the island's history and conservation projects. Visit the Old Village craft workshops, farm and the giant tortoise colony.

Alternatively, jog around the island, enjoy a game of snooker or a chess challenge in the library, canoe through the clear blue sea or plunge into the lagoon for fantastic snorkelling and diving.

Unwind

Expert therapists are on hand to deliver a selection of treatments inspired by Seychellios, Indian and Swedish techniques, wonderfully complementing the resort's naturally holistic lifestyle. Using island essential oils, fine sand from the pristine beaches and other natural products, there can be few more idyllic places to rejuvenate and reconnect than in the privacy of the garden courtyard, with the transforming power of nature.

Family
