"A private-island Four Seasons property recommended as a secluded, romantic escape for stargazing, tranquil beach walks, and villa pools — ideal for couples wanting to get away from it all with high-end service and privacy." - Alex Schechter Alex Schechter Alex Schechter is a Los Angeles-based journalist who covers travel, food, and dining.

"Thanks to private island resorts like this one, the Indian Ocean has become as much a part of the African safari circuit as the wildlife-rich plains. On Desroches Island, one of Africa’s most remote, Four Seasons guests can explore all nine miles of coastline via dozens of organized activities, including deep-sea fishing, tortoise feeding, and even yoga on the runway. Of course, you can also appreciate Desroches at your own pace, unapologetically lounging and day-drinking around your pool—every free-standing villa has one—ambling along the island’s beaches, zigzagging on bike trails, or unwinding at the Circle of Connection Spa. At the island’s southwestern edge, discover a tiered lighthouse, which doubles as a lookout point and restaurant and delivers one of the most memorable private island sunset experiences on the planet. For a lengthier Seychelles visit, consider combining a stay here with the equally impressive Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, Mahe, Seychelles, which straddles the dramatic granite boulders and powder-soft white sand of Petite Anse Bay." - Paul Rubio
"Second Four Seasons resort to open in the Seychelles."
"In March, Four Seasons opened its second Seychelles outpost on the private Desroches Island, giving guests unlimited access to its 8.7 miles of beaches and 933 acres of lush jungle." - Travel + Leisure Editors
