Desroches Island

Tranquil and picturesque all inclusive resort

With palm fringed shores and talcum sands, Desroches Island offers a natural experience, peace and tranquillity. The setting is picture perfect, the service friendly and the experience unique. The freshwater pool glitters beneath the sun, a perfect place to relax during the day. Or perhaps explore the island’s lush hinterland on a bike and discover a secluded stretch amongst the 13kms of pristine, beautiful beach. Sports available include tennis, windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving (extra charge), and the Escape spa is on hand to instil a calm, tranquil sense of wellbeing. Finish a perfect day with a cocktail aperitif at the bar followed by delectable Creole and European cuisine at the restaurant, or perhaps dine on your private terrace or even barefoot on the beach.

Everything about these islands is beautiful and enticing - the swaying coconut fronds, sweet scent of frangipani, dramatic violet and orange sunsets, lush plantations and characterful animal life - a holiday to the Seychelles with Kuoni is a pure paradise.

Shopping

To dress up your beach clothes you’ll be presented with a multitude of bracelets and necklaces, including unusual iridescent green snail-shell jewellery. You will also see beautiful model ships and marquetry boxes in hardwoods from local forests. Favourite timbers are calice du pape and bois noir.

The weaving and basketry reach a high standard, and some of the palm-fibre hats are temptingly crazy. Batik prints prove attractive, as do the resort clothes which range from international chic to paréos (wrap-arounds) and T-shirts with a bright Seychelles motif or signature.

Good Seychellois artists’ work and handicrafts are available in a private gallery in Victoria; some specialize in attractive scenes of island life.
