Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

Nestled on its own private island in the Outer Islands of Seychelles, Four Seasons Desroches is the ultimate escape for those craving exclusivity and unspoiled nature. It’s a place where the real luxury is space—both in terms of sprawling beaches and the privacy of your villa. This isn’t your typical Seychelles stay; Desroches demands a slower rhythm, perfect for disconnecting without sacrificing the signature Four Seasons polish. With 71 villas tucked amid coconut palms and just steps from the Indian Ocean, it’s a playground for beach lovers, anglers, and adventurers. The island’s iconic lighthouse stands sentinel nearby—a charming landmark that hints at the island’s seafaring past and offers a scenic spot to explore.

Desroches scores big with its stunning coral reef—ideal for snorkelling and diving straight off the shore. For golf enthusiasts, the resort boasts a beautiful 9-hole golf course with panoramic ocean views that make every swing a pleasure. And food? Expect island-inspired cuisine with a global twist, served across multiple venues including a beachfront restaurant and private dining options that take advantage of the spectacular surroundings. 

Four Seasons Desroches is for those who want to peel back the layers of Seychelles luxury and find the unspoiled heart beneath. It’s a place where comfort meets nature, and privacy is king. Ideal for families, couples seeking quiet romance, and anyone with a thirst for adventure both above and below the waterline.

Location

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

Accessed by a 45-minute private plane flight from Mahe, Desroches Island feels a world away from the hustle, even within Seychelles. The island itself is relatively flat, covered in lush vegetation and surrounded by some of the clearest waters in the Indian Ocean. Its remote location means the resort feels intimate and exclusive — the kind of place to disappear for a week or two without seeing another soul.

Your

accommodation

Villas are generous in size with private pools, expansive decks, and beach access. The design leans into natural materials and light-filled spaces, with interiors that feel relaxed but impeccably curated. Whether you choose a Garden Villa with lush greenery or the Beachfront Villa that opens directly onto pristine sand, the vibe remains elegant and understated.

Families will appreciate the two and three-bedroom villas offering space and privacy. For those who want the full splash, the Desroches Residence is the pinnacle of privacy and luxury: a standalone villa with multiple bedrooms, a private pool, and a dedicated team to cater to your every whim.
