The private islands of the Seychelles offer the ultimate Robinson Crusoe experience. Both Denis Private Island and Desroches Island have a landing strip (be it tarmac or grass!) and flights arrive once a day directly from Mahé. Sainte Anne Resort & Spa is just a 10 minute shuttle boat ride from Victoria.

The islands, with their tropical hinterlands, offer great opportunities for nature walks to discover some amazing flora and fauna, and conservation projects. Snorkelling, diving and deep-sea fishing expeditions are also possible, along with spa treatments, or catered picnics under the tropical palm trees and private sunset cruises which offer stunning views of the islands.
