Desroches

On land there is the possibility to play tennis - also in the evening under floodlight - or to go on bike tours. The most beautiful bathing and snorkeling beaches can be found in the west of the island and on the northwest side near the villas. In the island "Spa" you can let yourself be pampered and relax afterwards. On the water you can windsurf and kayak out to sea. The waters around Desroches are rich in fish and ideal for deep sea fishing, fly fishing and diving. Fly fishing trips are also available to the neighbouring islands of Poivre and St Joseph, where you will find plenty of bonefish and spiny mackerel. The PADI dive centre attached to the hotel offers courses and trips to the most interesting dive sites. Divers will find a variety of unusual dive sites to explore, including "The Canyon", a veritable labyrinth of underwater caves that never fails to surprise. From November to May experienced divers will find excellent conditions here, from May to September diving is only possible in the shallow lagoon.

Desroches is served by daily flights from Mahé either in the morning or at midday. The flight time is between 45 minutes and one hour.
