Denis Island is, without doubt, the ultimate beach paradise. A tiny island and one of the few inhabited coral islands in the Seychelles (most are granite), it is situated about 60 miles north of Mahe or half an hour by light aircraft. There is a small village on the island, which houses the people that work here tending the vegetable garden, caring for the beautiful gardens, looking after livestock and fishing the surrounding waters. The property consists of twenty four sensational spacious and airy cottages, each beautifully furnished with light wood floors, beach house cane furniture and gorgeous four poster beds surrounded by gently flowing muslin drapes. With double French doors and large windows, the front of each cottage can be opened right up filling the room with sunlight and birdsong. The cottages have enormous, ensuite bathrooms with big 'wet room' double showers, deep bathtubs and double sinks. Outside each cottage is a private, shady veranda and large private garden area with clusters of shrubs, palms and flowers. The cottages are extremely well spaced along the beach and amongst the tropical gardens offering a huge degree of privacy and seclusion. The main area of the lodge is a large, breezy, thatched buildling with relaxing sitting area around a long, wooden bar and an attractive, open dining area where delicious buffet lunches are served. Dinner takes place either in the main building or down on the beach just feet from the waters edge lit by candles and flairs. This is a fantastically relaxing place and, free from the trimmings of many luxury beach resorts, it has a wonderfully natural, tranquil and genuine feel to it. An excellent PADI dive centre, top class deep sea fishing, sailing, snorkelling, windsurfing and reef fishing are all available but for many it is a joy to simply sit under the makuti parasol in their private garden with a cold drink and watch the waves lapping onto the pristine, white beach.
