Triggerfish island holiday: Summary
Triggerfish island holiday in a nutshell
One of the Seychelles’ Out Islands, Desroches is a picture-perfect Indian Ocean atoll and ideal setting for a glamourous castaway adventure. The Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island, to give its full name, is a collection of 71 chic bungalows and beautifully appointed villas, of which even the smallest is huge with private garden and pool.
As you’d expect from a Four Seasons, you’ll be well looked after by a slick team from yoga instructors, wellness experts and talented chefs (the Lighthouse Restaurant is a real highlight) to deep sea fishing guides, surf instructors and conservationists.
But what we really love about the island is the real variety of activities and opportunity for adventure while you here. There are 14 world-class diving sites around Desroches, with secret passages and cascading reef walls to discover, while exciting snorkelling trips are guided by WiseOceans marine educators. Spend your days paddle boarding in protected lagoons, take a kayak out to circumnavigate the island’s 14km of palm bordered beaches and surf offshore breaks. On land, cycle to the tortoise sanctuary to meet Desroches’ oldest residents, treat yourself in the spa or find a special spot for sundown cocktails.
