The world-class fishing, pristine reefs and remote island charm that make Denis Island the most adventurous destination in the Seychelles.
World-Class Big Game Fishing
Denis Island is one of the finest big game fishing destinations in the world — the island sits at the edge of the continental shelf, where the ocean drops from 60 metres to over 2,000 metres in a short distance. This creates extraordinary conditions for marlin, sailfish, wahoo, tuna and dogtooth tuna. The fishing is considered among the best in the Indian Ocean.
Denis Private Island
Denis Private Island is the only resort on the island — a charming, intimate lodge with 25 cottages set among the coconut palms, with exceptional food, a beautiful beach and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. The lodge is all-inclusive and the service is warm and personal. It is one of the most charming resorts in the Seychelles.
Pristine Coral Reefs
The coral reefs around Denis Island are among the most pristine in the Seychelles — the island's remoteness means the reefs have been less affected by tourism. The diving and snorkelling is exceptional, with extraordinary coral formations, abundant marine life and excellent visibility. The drop-off at the edge of the continental shelf is a world-class dive site.
Hawksbill Turtle Nesting
Denis Island is one of the most important hawksbill turtle nesting beaches in the Seychelles. The turtles nest on the beaches between October and February. The Denis Private Island lodge participates in turtle conservation and guests can join guided turtle watching excursions during the nesting season.
