Perfect Paradise Location
Bamford, United Kingdom
Arrived at Denis Island expecting to have a lovely time, wasnt quite prepared for what we experienced. Absolutely stunning from the staff to the wildlife. Its a fantastic mixture of nature at its most beautiful and ecofriendly luxury.
The pictures really dont do it justice.
Thank you to all the staff at Denis Island for accomodating us and making our honeymoon so memorable.
I would 100% recommend. It isnt just a beach holiday, its an unforgettable experience as well.

Few days of paradise.
We had a lovely time on Dennis Island the staff from the manager Werner down could not be more friendly accommodating and helpful. It is almost a total detox from technology only having WiFi in the library. The cottages were fantastic and I loved the fact it was eco friendly. We had a tour in a Golf buggy from the environmentalist which was excellent. It is obvious he really cared about the wildlife on the island. The food was fresh and delicious. We snorkelled over the reefs many times and saw an abundance of amazing fish a couple of stingrays and turtles. It would be nice if others who are unable to snorkel to see the amazing reefs but Werner said he was looking into glass bottomed boats.
We had a great time would highly recommend a visit. Thank you. Julie from Guernsey

"So Peaceful on Paradise Island"
Sidmouth, United Kingdom
We have just spent 7 wonderful nights on Denis as part of a 3 Island visit to the Seychelles .
We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Front Cottage, quite near to the air strip( this is not a problem as there is only 1 small plane a day ). This area also has a good swimming area and fantastic sunsets.
The Island is so quiet , for the first couple of days we saw only one or two guests walking on the beach near our cottage.
You have too ask yourself before coming what you want out of a trip too somewhere like Denis?
You come here for beautiful natural surroundings , where there are only a few guests where there is much bird life in the gardens and turtles swimming in the warm ocean.
Don't come here if you want a large hotel , you don't like the odd insect or you think you will get fed up with your partner ! Having said that you can meet others at meal times.
The food is buffet at breakfast and lunch. The lunch worried me at first but I soon found that the fresh fish of the day and salads were very goods do made fresh. If I were critical I think the selection of hot dishes could be improved or done away with and replaced with simple show cooking , saving wastage , and would be hotter.
The evening dinner is waiter service and very good. You will find drinks expensive , the same in all Seychelles hotels. We used our duty free in our cottage before dinner.
The hotel manager Werner du Preez is always available and very approachable . We did think that it would be nice if an All inclusive package including drinks at a supplement would be good.
Finally would we go back?
Yes. Not somthing we ever do !

A wonderful retreat with excellent staff and food
Very special place with exceptionally good staff led by General Manager Werner du Preez. Food (much of which is homegrown) was very good and the self sufficiency drive most credible. Such a pleasure to see conservation a priority with the tour by conservationist Jean Michel a must if the true spirit of this operation is to be appreciated. Totally unspoilt and clean beaches with central "jungle" providing the backdrop. Birdlife sights and sounds plus underwater diversity adds to the experience. Unfortunately, alcohol is very expensive but otherwise a holiday to treasure. Many thanks to you all! We will be back!

We had a week here and loved every minute. Our villa was cool comfortable and a few yards from our own section of the beach and looked out to a turquoise sea. We hardly saw any other guests on the beach. The restaurant surprised us with its very high quality cuisine and variety and we had a superb Creole night in another beach restaurant. The snorkelling was not quite as good as Maldives but we still saw turtles rays and reef sharks as well as many other reef species. With its own farm it’s 80% self sufficiency is impressive. The staff are very friendly but not intrusive. Werner was a great host and ensured our holiday was excellent. Overall we rated Denis Island higher than Maldives
