Desroches Island is in the Outer Island group and approximately 230km southwest of Mahé.  This coral island measures 6km long and 1km wide, boasting 14km of immaculate beaches that fringe a lush grove of coconut palms interspersed by casuarina trees.

Desroches Island forms part of the Amirantes Group of islands, a remote coral atoll. The largest island of the group is Desroches.

Desroches Island was named after a former French governor of Mauritius, and like many of Seychelles’ islands, was once a prosperous coconut plantation.

The island is serviced by air from Mahé in a flight-time of approximately 40 minutes, and offers spectacular opportunities for deep sea fishing, fly-fishing and diving.
