About

Experience the best in barefoot luxury at Denis Private Island – a pristine island escape in perfect harmony with nature.

Accessible via a 30-minute flight from the main island of Mahe, Denis Private Island is an excellent destination for travellers in search of an exclusive getaway that offers the best of island living. Unpretentious, yet subtly luxurious, this resort offers guests secluded beachfront accommodation in spacious cottages, set amongst tropical vegetation.

Each of the 23 cottages and villas on Denis Private Island feature a private beachfront, furnished terrace, open-air bathroom and a private garden courtyard. They each have a spacious indoor living area and most units boast an extended deck with sea-facing day beds.

Guests can enjoy a range of outdoor activities: bicycles, snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and kayaks are provided for guests to explore the island's surroundings, or guests can explore the island’s jungle interior for excellent bird-watching. Available at a surcharge are some of the best fishing and scuba diving conditions in the Indian Ocean. The island is just 10 minutes from an area known as “The Drop Off”, which makes for quick and easy access some of the most versatile fishing in the world. It is especially well-known for black marlin fishing.

Denis Private Island is almost entirely self-sufficient and relies almost entirely on solar power and food sourced from the island’s own farm. The restaurant is famous for its fresh farm-to-table concept: the farm supplies the restaurant with organic, island-grown produce, dairy, meat and poultry. Fresh seafood is sourced from the ocean.  

For relaxation, the resort offers a large, ocean-facing infinity pool with sun beds and cabanas, and open-air spa treatments.  Guests can pamper themselves with a range of massage therapies on the beach or at their cottage. Beautiful sunsets each evening invite guests to enjoy a cocktail at the pool bar or on a sunset cruise.
