The hotel sprawls over the southwestern portion of a 402 hectare (933 acre), sparsely populated and virtually untouched tropical paradise just 35 minutes by scenic flight from the international airport on Mahé island.
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island offers a variety of accommodations for families, couples and friends travelling together. One and two bedroom suites, as well as a selection of villas with private plunge pools, are dotted along the Sunset Beach or the Coral Beach, and for larger parties, there are three, four and five bedroom villas as well as the fabulously appointed seven bedroom Presidential Villa.
Each epitomises an effortless island lifestyle with indoor-outdoor spaces, sand at the doorstep, and vintage decorative touches evoking the era of 19th century explorers of the islands.
“Chances are that if you’ve gazed longingly at a stock image of a white sand beach fringed with palm trees looking out onto impossibly blue waters, that picture was taken in Seychelles,” comments Edward Linsley, a world traveller who has now settled on Desroches Island as the Resort’s General Manager.
“And the dream only gets better when you get here, put your toes in the sand, breathe in the clean air, swim the warm waters, trek through the jungle and finally fall into restful sleep beneath a canopy of stars. At Four Seasons, our entire mission is to create the perfect holiday for our guests, to realise all of their island fantasies and ensure that they’ll remember their stay with us for a lifetime.”
