Desroches Private Island
There exist on Earth few places that can truly be described as paradise. Imagine a small Island in the Seychelles, 6 km long and 1 km wide, acres of shady coconut palms fringed by 14 km of white sandy beaches, lapped by crystal clear turquoise waters sheltered by the encircling reef. Desroches Island in the Seychelles Islands attracts visitors from all over the world, and it is not difficult to learn why. This island is a little slice of heaven. Desroches Island is part of a group of islands called the Amirantes Group, which is a remote coral atoll. This island is like a jewel in its tropical setting. The luxurious, highly celebrated, and world-renowned Desroches Island has recently been nominated by the prestigious award-giving body of World Travel Awards as “Seychelles’ Leading Resort“. Even without these award, the private island resort‘s attention to detail and constant maintenance of world-class standards have made it a contender of one of the best resorts you’ll ever see in your lifetime, bar none.Accommodation
