Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island is due to open on March 1.

The luxury resort will feature 71 lodgings, including beach bungalows, villas, suites and private residence villas.

Desroches Island, which is administered by the Island Development Company (IDC), is part of the Amirantes group, and can be reached in 35 minutes by air from Mahé.

GM of the Four Seasons Resort at Desroches, Edward Linsley, said: “I’m immensely proud to be leading the team who will open and manage this exceptional resort and I can’t wait to welcome our first guests on March 1, to experience our island and all we have to offer!”

Activities at the resort include (but aren’t limited to): bicycle rides around the island, experiencing new dining concepts, learning about the island’s variety of vegetation and marine life at the resort’s interactive discovery centre, getting up close with the giant tortoises at the tortoise sanctuary, outdoor movie nights, fishing, snorkelling and diving.

This will be the second Four Seasons Resort in the Seychelles, after Baie Lazare on Mahé, which opened in 2009.
