Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

Our stay at Four Seasons Desroches Island was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was a truly unique destination, where nature and luxury harmoniously come together to create an unforgettable experience. Located on a remote island, Desroches presents logistical challenges that must be immense, but you would never know it as a guest. Everything ran so seamlessly, as though the pristine beaches, perfect accommodations, and outstanding service appeared effortlessly-an immense testament to the professionalism and dedication of the team. The personalized welcome we received set the tone for our entire stay. Knowing we were coming from another Four Seasons property, the team thoughtfully prepared a beautiful cake adorned with a cheetah cub to commemorate the first animal we encountered in the Serengeti. This surprise was even more meaningful because my best friend is passionate about baking, and the care the team put into this gesture touched us deeply. Special thanks to Budi, Joseph, Ali, and Christian, whose warmth and attention to detail ensured every part of our experience felt unique and personal. Christian, in particular, made our island experience even richer. His passion for the island’s heritage, combined with his expertise as a guide, offered us unique insights into its culture and natural beauty. From leading an enlightening island tour to introducing us to its conservation efforts, Christian’s stories brought Desroches to life and helped us connect more deeply with this remarkable place. The culinary experience was extraordinary. From breakfast to dinner, every meal exceeded our expectations. The dishes were not only expertly crafted but also celebrated the island’s flavors in an innovative and delicious way. Whether dining in the main restaurant, enjoying a dinner at the lighthouse, or tasting freshly caught seafood, each bite reflected the skill and care of the culinary team. Desroches is a paradise of natural beauty, with so much to explore. The property provides bicycles for guests to get around the island, and this immediately became one of our favorite aspects of the stay. Each morning, we set off to discover the island's many pristine beaches-each one feeling like our private oasis. From soft sands to azure waters, every beach we visited felt untouched and breathtaking. The island tour offered a fascinating glimpse into its diverse landscapes and its conservation efforts. One of the highlights was meeting and feeding the gigantic tortoises, whose slow majesty adds an ancient charm to the island. The conservation work done here, especially in preserving the local wildlife and natural resources, is incredibly commendable and added a sense of purpose to our stay. The activities available on the island were also exceptional. From snorkeling to cooking classes, each experience allowed us to feel immersed in the beauty of our surroundings. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were

We have just returned from the most amazing two weeks in paradise on earth. Spacious stunning villa for five of us - plenty of space and more to live there forever if you want to! The island is truly spectacular, you feel like you are a castaway except your every need is catered for. Deserted white beaches, sea turtles, jungle pathways by bike and roaming wild giant tortoises (the stars of the show!) we so enjoyed feeding them and stroking them as they are very tame with humans. A real treat. The staff are incredible at this hotel. So friendly and welcoming - exceptional personal service and we truly felt like we had made friends during our two week stay. Of special mention (although everyone was first class) our restaurant waiter Abraam who made us laugh every meal time and was a true professional, Tony our wonderful butler who looked after us beautifully, and Rohan (Marketing team) who was so welcoming and friendly every time we saw him. These people and all the staff really enhanced our stay. This place is a cut above the rest. If you get the chance to visit Paradise don’t hesitate!!

Simply wonderful. We visited to Desroches as a family of six adults and three young children from the 28th of December to the 5th of January and loved every minute of our time there. As a family, we are well travelled and the standout feature for us on this beautifully natural and unspoiled resort Island is the fantastic staff who recognise us by name from the first day and nothing was too much trouble. Well maintained save for the washed out pit holes on the packed sand roads and paths with an abundance of nature. Wonderful giant tortoises, sea turtles joining us on the beach to nest and baby turtles making a break for the sea were just some of the thrills for the children. Our Beach Villas were well appointed and serviced and led straight into sunset beach We loved our stay at Desroches
