Desroches Island belongs to the remote Amirantes group, far from the main islands and reached by a short flight from Mahé. Fourteen kilometres of deserted beaches encircle this flat coral atoll, ideal to explore by bicycle among coconut palms and casuarinas. Its waters are renowned among divers for walls and canyons teeming with life, while the crystalline shallows invite snorkelling and kayaking. A single exclusive resort guarantees total isolation and quiet. Desroches Island is a dream destination for those seeking marine adventure and beaches all to themselves.

Giorno 5 — Desroches Island → Mahe
Mahé is the largest of the Seychelles islands and the beating heart of the archipelago, home to the international airport, the tiny capital Victoria and more than sixty beaches framed by forest-clad granite hills. Victoria, one of the world's smallest capitals, is easily explored on foot: the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke market with its stalls of fish, spices and tropical fruit, the clock tower modelled on London's, the colourful Hindu temple and the botanical gardens where giant tortoises roam and the famous coco de mer grows. The coast strings together postcard sands: broad and lively Beau Vallon, perfect for swimming and evening dining; dramatic, surf-pounded Anse Intendance; and the quieter coves of the south, sheltered by the reef. The mountainous interior is crowned by Morne Seychellois National Park, laced with trails climbing through ferns, palms and endemic plants to ocean viewpoints. Creole cuisine — grilled fish, curries, chutneys and local rum — rounds off days of snorkelling, diving and boat trips to the neighbouring islands. Mahé brings lush nature, turquoise sea and authentic island life together in one place, the ideal gateway to the whole archipelago.
