Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

'This is Robinson Crusoe luxury at its finest – a pristine coral island where you're more likely to encounter giant tortoises than other tourists.' What's Special? Desroches Island spans just 3.7 square miles and sits atop an ancient coral atoll 150 miles southwest of Mahé. The resort occupies the entire island, meaning you'll have 14 kilometers of powder-white beaches virtually to yourself. The island is also a sanctuary for over 100 Aldabra giant tortoises that roam freely across the property – some weighing up to 550 pounds and over 100 years old. Don't Miss The island's airstrip doubles as a nesting ground for sooty terns between May and October, creating one of nature's most spectacular wildlife displays. Also explore the ruins of the old coconut plantation and copra factory from the early 1900s, scattered throughout the island's interior jungle paths.
