Catch the perfect wave, namaste on the runway or sip sundowners on our white-sand beach. No matter how you choose to spend your days here, you’ll create everlasting memories of your couples’ time in paradise.

View a 3D model of a wedge-tailed shearwater bird’s nest and marvel at the detailed displays of turtle hatchlings in our interactive and educational Discovery Centre.

Maintain your fitness routine any time of day in our air-conditioned Fitness Centre, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Keep things fresh with a variety of equipment and the option of focusing on cardio, calisthenics or weight training at your own pace.

Enjoy some friendly competition on the Resort’s floodlit tennis court. Matches can be watched and cheered on by family and friends from the picnic tables at the end of the court. Reservations can be made at the front desk.

Desroches Island is home to more than 150 Aldabra Tortoises that are looked after by the Island Conservation Society. Pay a visit to the Tortoise Sanctuary, meet these treasured island inhabitants and learn about the tortoise breeding program

Cycling is by far the best way to explore the vast expanse of Desroches Island with more than 14 kilometres (9 miles) of biking trails. Complimentary bicycles will be waiting for you at your villa upon arrival.

Make the most of the beach with our array of water sports, including paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling, fishing, diving and surfing. On Desroches, all sports are non-motorized in an effort to protect the marine life that enjoy the island alongside us.

Take your pick, snorkelling at Madame Zabre Beach, kayaking at Aquarium Beach, surfing at Bombay Beach or a complete island adventure on all 14 kilometres (9 miles) of powder–white sand beaches. All of our beaches come with a shower, washroom, water, towels, sun beds, water sports equipment and anything else you’d need for a day out in the Indian Ocean.

Head to the Castaway Centre and borrow snorkelling gear – complimentary for all resort guests – and start your underwater exploration.

Make the most of our complimentary island shuttle and take a tour around the island, or get off at one of the stops to explore at your own pace.

Harnessing the power of the island’s natural breeze and with the help of an expert instructor, kite surfing is best experienced from June to October for the best wind conditions.
