Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

This resort is 100% classic Four Seasons. The grounds are beautiful, the food excellent, the service outstanding. Anything you want or need, anytime, are yours with a quick text to the front desk. ||The villas are outstanding. Spacious, beautifully appointed, with amazing private pools with cabanas and beach access. Transportation on the island( and the resort guests have access to the whole thing, including several beaches that are stocked with water, towels, toys, and bathrooms) is only by bike or golf cart. This leads to a relaxed and quiet atmosphere that lends itself to as much activity or lack thereof that you could want. The staff are universally perfect at the balance between friendly and elevated, and the vibe here is familial and easygoing while at the same time fully inclusive of the FS attention to detail and expectation of service to the guest. ||The resort tour with the naturalist is fantastic, as are the surfing staff. The resort is equally amazing for couples and families with small children. ||This is a special place that I truly can't say enough about. We will absolutely return here, without hesitation!

We have just returned from the most amazing two weeks in paradise on earth. Spacious stunning villa for five of us - plenty of space and more to live there forever if you want to! The island is truly spectacular, you feel like you are a castaway except your every need is catered for. Deserted white beaches, sea turtles, jungle pathways by bike and roaming wild giant tortoises (the stars of the show!) we so enjoyed feeding them and stroking them as they are very tame with humans. A real treat. The staff are incredible at this hotel. So friendly and welcoming - exceptional personal service and we truly felt like we had made friends during our two week stay. Of special mention (although everyone was first class) our restaurant waiter Abraam who made us laugh every meal time and was a true professional, Tony our wonderful butler who looked after us beautifully, and Rohan (Marketing team) who was so welcoming and friendly every time we saw him. These people and all the staff really enhanced our stay. This place is a cut above the rest. If you get the chance to visit Paradise don’t hesitate!!

A stunning luxury stay on a secluded island. We loved the possibility to bike to different incredible locations & beaches, the stunning waters, wide range of amenities, beautiful villas and food choice. We had an amazing time relaxing and exploring the island. Feels like being alone in the world, especially with the private plane bringing you there. A truly unique stay.

We stayed at Four Seasons Desroches for Four days in the middle of August. Everything concerning our stay was simple perfect; our Villa was huge, with nice local design in modern standards. The food was stunning! The themed buffets evenings and a’la carte menu - Food quality in each restaurant was always stunning. I also did the scuba diving in hotel’s Diving Centre and I can highly recommend it to every maritime life fan. As I said before, the stay was simply perfect from the beginning to the very end and we will never forget it. We would also like to mention about Lai Lai from the main restaurant – she is one of the friendliest people we’ve ever met!

Where do I start ! My partner and I are still floating around on Cloud 9 after our stay at The Four Seasons at Deroches Island. |We both travel a lot , and we can honestly say that our stay at Deroches was one of the most inspirational and perfect stays we have ever experienced. I will try and keep my points as concise as possible but its difficult not to wax lyrical about everything ! |1) the service from the entire FS Deroches team was impeccable. Being in the service industry myself, I could immediately see that the FS have an impeccable training program , installing the most beautiful values in their workforce. This is evident loud and clear when coming into contact with any of the FS staff, no matter what the area. I did not take everyone's names but Budi , the resort manager was simply amazing. You can see that the entire team love working with him and he runs a super tight ship in resort. Also Evgeny , the F&B manager was fabulous and ensured that all our eating experiences were perfect. I am the pain of the couple as I'm a vegan ! However Evgeny and his team could not do enough for me and ensured I was looked after at all times. I felt very grateful indeed. |2) The restaurants and facilities at Deroches are superb. Meticulously looked after. The highlight for my husband and I was our evening at the Lighthouse. Absolutely stunning. Pre-drinks at the bar upstairs followed by dinner outside amongst all the Shearwater birds talking to us ! We absolutely loved it. |3) Deroches Island itself was pure paradise for my husband and I. It is beautifully looked after and roads were perfect to cycle around. We loved the fact we were free to cycle to every corner of the island , safely and each road led to the most beautiful beach and coast line. Although FS is a 5star resort , the way the resort is submersed into the beauty of the island and doesn't radiate any obvious commercialism is perfect. ||Our only regret is that we didn't stay long enough and we are already planning to return as soon as we can.||WELL DONE and HUGE THANK YOU to the entire FS Deroches Team. I hope my review does justice to the amazing experience my husband and I had as part of our honeymoon tour around the Seychelles. |Rachel and Craig

Four Seasons might be a large hotel, but we felt quite secluded in our sunset villa. Unfortunately there was building works going on in the villa next to us which was somewhat bothersome. Manageress claimed that the workers were from the Seychelles government so they couldn't do anything about it...Food-wise it was fine, snorkeling ok, shearwaters singing mesmerizing. One other negative aspect: no sunshade at all around the villa.

The best service I've ever experienced. Really nice place. Rooms are designed well and have a really good quality feel to them. Food was really good too, breakfast was 10/10 with a mimosa and blood Mary bar included. For people who get bored lying on a sun lounger there was a good amount of sup boards, kayaks and beach toys. Snorkeling is decent enough, couple of reefs, but standout snorkelling is seeing all the turtles. Have stayed in plenty of high end resorts but the service here was another level. They nailed all the main things, but also the small things. Like forgetting to grab a towel as when you enter to pool only to discover one has been left by your flipflops for you with a glass of iced water. Only downside was slow internet connection. Works fine for basic internet use but if you needed to do some work or uploading while you're there it would be a struggle.

This trip was my best trip ever. I chose it when I knew there is no GSM signal. There is wifi in the rooms but when you are out you are here to enjoy the nature/activities and to relax. Buggy service and bicycles made transportation easy 24h. Staff were attentive and very helpful. You will not regret it. You need to ask and arrange your flight to the island before you book « check the flight schedule and contact the hotel team they were very helpful ».
