Denis Private Island is a 375-acre private coral island in the remote northern Seychelles, ringed by white sand and reached by air, with no mobile signal or in-room internet, a deliberate digital-detox eco-retreat with a working farm and conservation programmes beside a continental ocean drop-off. It has 23 free-standing beachfront cottages and villas, from beach and deluxe beach cottages to beachfront spa cottages with private massage pavilions and a beach villa with a plunge pool, all with open-air bathrooms and garden courtyards.
Dining is farm-to-table, emphasising healthy cooking and island produce. Wellness is open-air, with private massage pavilions in the spa cottages. There is excellent scuba diving and world-class game fishing at the drop-off, snorkelling in a sea-turtle sanctuary, birdwatching, giant tortoises, guided nature walks and a historic lighthouse and chapel, and the whole island can be booked exclusively. Holding two Michelin Keys, it suits barefoot-luxury purists, honeymooners, families, anglers and divers seeking total seclusion and digital detox.
