The secluded Retreats are situated on around 5,000 sqm plots with approximately 56 metres of beach frontage and fabulous sea views. The building area including decking and pools is c. 940 sqm.

A butler can be arranged to attend to your needs in the Retreat, with laundry and full housekeeping service, leaving you time only to relax and unwind.

The Private Beach Retreats are a result of extensive research undertaken on similar projects world-wide, and have been designed to optimise comfort and provide rental income to owners that wish to participate in the optional rental scheme. The 5-star on-site management provides global marketing of the island properties and management of all bookings and guest stays, complete with full maintenance and housekeeping to the highest standards to protect your investment and generate the best possible yields.

The modular design of the Retreat optimises rental desirability and diversity for hotel guests, while maintaining an environmentally friendly, homely island hideaway for owners. Each Retreat is designed to be a five bedroom home which ‘converts’ into self-contained private hotel suites when the owner is not in residence. With this innovative design and by joining the rental pool, your Private Beach Retreat comes FREE OF LEVIES, in terms of the rental pool formula, making this a unique investment opportunity.

Units will be fully-furnished in tasteful style with all luxurious amenities. Built in seating, state-of-the-art fitted kitchens and wireless internet contrast with lazy floating salas in the sea breeze and indigenous gardens to provide complete privacy, comfort and relaxation.

Along with the luxurious turn-key furnishings, 8 bicycles and 6 kayaks (3 double and 3 single) per Retreat complete the package. Furniture and fittings are included in the total purchase price.

Desroches offers exclusivity and privacy that only a remote private island can provide, along with experienced, discreet service. The island is completely private; one of very few in the world being developed by a single developer and operator, and brings new benchmarks for luxury and exclusivity to the Seychelles, to rival those anywhere in the world. Desroches has been listed as one of the ‘Top 10 Remote Hotels in the World’ by Forbes.

All ownership documentation has been prepared by our legal team to ensure that purchasers have total security of long term lease hold ownership.

Getting there:

Linked to the infrastructure of the Seychelles capital of Mahé with daily scheduled flights, Desroches Island is also accessible by private charter flights, or a leisurely day’s sail for those who prefer to take time. Mahé itself is well connected to Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia.

Desroches Island

Desroches boasts one of the world’s healthiest, malaria-free climates. Strewn with coconut trees, the island has 14km of immaculate deserted beaches, allowing blissful peace and tranquillity.

Desroches, as the gateway to the outer and Amirantes Islands, adjoins a number of virgin islands, which add to the unique travel adventures that can be enjoyed. The developers continue to explore exciting new activities with Desroches as the hub.

Desroches offers a range of experiences, including quiet picnics on the beach, sundown cocktails with friends, encounters with captivating marine life and pampering spa treatments; all in picture-perfect surrounds that enhance every glorious sensation.  Set your soul free on a warm ocean breeze to float over an azure turquoise sea.
