A hidden gem

Austria

Denis Island is the place for you if you wish to read a book under palm trees, looking at the turquoise ocean and hearing nothing but the abundance of different tropical birds around you; if you enjoy delicious food, cooked from homegrown ingredients and freshly caught fish - without checking mails or social media (internet is only available in the library); if you wish to walk along beautiful beaches without meeting another human being but seeing lots of wildlife instead and if you wish to safely snorkel with kids in shallow waters and see turtles, baby sharks, moray eels, rays and many other tropical fish. If you are however looking for beach parties or lively evening entertainment rather look elsewhere. We were lucky to be able to return to this lovely place after having discovered it by pure chance last year. This year we got to experience the luxury of the beach villa – the only accommodation on Denis that offers a pool. Not that it is needed, but the kids enjoyed a late evening swim under the stars. We were glad to see that Denis Island keeps further improving its environmental sustainability, by adding solar panels and banning plastic straws – just to name a few things. It was also nice so see that a lot of the staff is still the same. It felt a bit like coming home to be welcomed by so many familiar faces. The staff on Denis Island is another reason for us to come back. We have never experienced a place where the staff, from management to farm hand is this friendly and happy. Our special thanks go to Jose, Caitlyn, John and Daniel who never failed to put a smile on our faces. We are looking forward to see you all next year!

Fantastic place

This was our third visit to the Seychelles. We have always stayed at different hotels and resorts wanting to experience new things but this was the first time we said we want to come back. A small paradise on earth.
