Denis, a privately owned coral island, is the perfect location for those seeking true escapism, total relaxation and tranquility. Denis Island, approximately 375 acres, barely rises a few feet above sea level and is fringed by coconut palms, brilliant white sand and coral reefs. It is a great place to stroll along marked trails and is particularly lush for a coral island. In the shade of casuarina and coconut palms, Denis Island Resort is the epitomy of barefoot luxury. Just 25 individual and very spacious cottages, some of which are close to the beach, have been furnished and decorated in the true natural Creole style. Each cottage is well equipped and the luxurious bathrooms also have an additional outdoor shower in a small walled courtyard. The cottages are discretely positioned so that the wide verandah is not overlooked by your neighbor. Denis is renowned for its culinary delights with sumptuous buffets for breakfast and lunch plus an excellent menu choice or Creole buffet for dinner. Occasional beach barbecues are also organized. The island itself is located on the edge of the Seychelles bank which plunges 2000 meters into the deep abyss of the Indian Ocean. A small professional dive center is affiliated to the resort and provides a range of dive excursions and courses for beginners & advanced divers alike. The waters of Denis are known for their abundance of game fishing, excellent bone fishing and runs of bottom fishing trips. Sailing, windsurfing, canoeing are available and snorkeling trips can be arranged. For landlubbers there is a tennis court, billiards, table tennis and a selection of board games. There also are romantic paths through the lush forest and you can visit the former plantation buildings.
