Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

Our stay at Four Seasons Desroches Island was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was a truly unique destination, where nature and luxury harmoniously come together to create an unforgettable experience. Located on a remote island, Desroches presents logistical challenges that must be immense, but you would never know it as a guest. Everything ran so seamlessly, as though the pristine beaches, perfect accommodations, and outstanding service appeared effortlessly-an immense testament to the professionalism and dedication of the team. The personalized welcome we received set the tone for our entire stay. Knowing we were coming from another Four Seasons property, the team thoughtfully prepared a beautiful cake adorned with a cheetah cub to commemorate the first animal we encountered in the Serengeti. This surprise was even more meaningful because my best friend is passionate about baking, and the care the team put into this gesture touched us deeply. Special thanks to Budi, Joseph, Ali, and Christian, whose warmth and attention to detail ensured every part of our experience felt unique and personal. Christian, in particular, made our island experience even richer. His passion for the island’s heritage, combined with his expertise as a guide, offered us unique insights into its culture and natural beauty. From leading an enlightening island tour to introducing us to its conservation efforts, Christian’s stories brought Desroches to life and helped us connect more deeply with this remarkable place. The culinary experience was extraordinary. From breakfast to dinner, every meal exceeded our expectations. The dishes were not only expertly crafted but also celebrated the island’s flavors in an innovative and delicious way. Whether dining in the main restaurant, enjoying a dinner at the lighthouse, or tasting freshly caught seafood, each bite reflected the skill and care of the culinary team. Desroches is a paradise of natural beauty, with so much to explore. The property provides bicycles for guests to get around the island, and this immediately became one of our favorite aspects of the stay. Each morning, we set off to discover the island's many pristine beaches-each one feeling like our private oasis. From soft sands to azure waters, every beach we visited felt untouched and breathtaking. The island tour offered a fascinating glimpse into its diverse landscapes and its conservation efforts. One of the highlights was meeting and feeding the gigantic tortoises, whose slow majesty adds an ancient charm to the island. The conservation work done here, especially in preserving the local wildlife and natural resources, is incredibly commendable and added a sense of purpose to our stay. The activities available on the island were also exceptional. From snorkeling to cooking classes, each experience allowed us to feel immersed in the beauty of our surroundings. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were

An absolutely outstanding experience. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and were truly sad to leave. But we've already booked for next year! Budi and his team run a flawless service. Our room was beautiful, spacious and perfectly cleaned throughout our stay. For us, what made this the most outstanding hotel of the many we have stayed at in the Seychelles was the superb food and flawless service. Other hotels often fail here. We also had an island tour and were impressed that the hotel is using extensive solar power and growing a lot of fruit and veg. The papaya is the best we have ever tasted. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories and we can hardly wait to be back there again. K&M

Everything was simply perfect about this stay at the Four Seasons on Deroches Island. The service, the staff, the buildings and rooms, the food, the gardens, the stunning island , the list goes on ! This is the perfect place for a couple wanting that remote quiet island experience and being surrounded by beautiful nature. You can only reach the island via a very small aircraft, however this is part of the fun ! The resort is so well managed in partnership with the IDC on the island too, I feel so privileged to have experienced this beautiful Four Seasons establishment.

This resort is 100% classic Four Seasons. The grounds are beautiful, the food excellent, the service outstanding. Anything you want or need, anytime, are yours with a quick text to the front desk. The villas are outstanding. Spacious, beautifully appointed, with amazing private pools with cabanas and beach access. Transportation on the island( and the resort guests have access to the whole thing, including several beaches that are stocked with water, towels, toys, and bathrooms) is only by bike or golf cart. This leads to a relaxed and quiet atmosphere that lends itself to as much activity or lack thereof that you could want. The staff are universally perfect at the balance between friendly and elevated, and the vibe here is familial and easygoing while at the same time fully inclusive of the FS attention to detail and expectation of service to the guest. The resort tour with the naturalist is fantastic, as are the surfing staff. The resort is equally amazing for couples and families with small children. This is a special place that I truly can't say enough about. We will absolutely return here, without hesitation!

Exceptional Stay at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles I recently spent six unforgettable nights at the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The resort’s team exudes positive energy and works seamlessly together, creating an environment where guests’ needs are anticipated and met with genuine care and attention. The island itself is a stunning, almost untouched paradise. We enjoyed exploring its many beautiful angles, whether by walking or biking through its lush landscapes. Every moment on the island felt like a discovery, adding to the overall sense of adventure and relaxation. While our stay was nearly perfect, we did encounter a couple of minor issues. The Wi-Fi connection was too slow. In addition, the bed wasn’t quite strong enough to support my back. However, the management promptly addressed these concerns and made every effort to improve our comfort, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, the combination of the resort’s impeccable service, the team’s collaborative spirit, and the island’s natural beauty made our stay truly memorable. We highly recommend the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island and look forward to returning.

Four Seasons might be a large hotel, but we felt quite secluded in our sunset villa. Unfortunately there was building works going on in the villa next to us which was somewhat bothersome. Manageress claimed that the workers were from the Seychelles government so they couldn't do anything about it...Food-wise it was fine, snorkeling ok, shearwaters singing mesmerizing. One other negative aspect: no sunshade at all around the villa.
