There are numerous activities available to guests including canoeing, snorkelling, nature walks, tennis, billiards and a jogging trail.

Excursions to other islands can also be arranged.
The chef's traditional Seychellois cuisine can be enjoyed in the spacious and airy restaurant, privately on the deck of your own cottage or even on the beach under the stars. Delicious food is produced using fresh local seafood and the island's own gardens, and along with the amazing service, is a special feature of a stay here.
The 23 individual cottages and villas on Denis enjoy total privacy, scattered at various walking distances from the beach and separated by the island’s natural vegetation. Spacious rooms include beautiful handmade furniture and wood flooring fashioned at the island's carpentry workshop just a few hundred metres away, as well as enjoying the luxury of having open-air bathrooms and al-fresco showers in private garden courtyards.
