One of the best things about the Seychelles is the diversity.  In addition to the main island group that is prominent in nearly every beach calendar ever made, there are a multitude of smaller “out islands” to explore.  They can be quite different and unique.  We chose Desroaches Island, where the Four Seasons has a resort.  This small sandy island in no way resembles the green mountains and black granite boulders of Mahe, but it is equally beautiful in different ways.  Our beach villa opend up on a pristine sand beach where we enjoyed one of the most spectacular sunsets ever, on our first night!

Our villa was amazing!  Right on the beach with kayaks, SUP’s, and 4 bicycles to travel around the island.  In addition to the beach, great diving, and the amenities of the Four Seasons, they have giant tortises on the island also.

The warm turquoise water of the Indian Ocean is not like any other.  The beaches are unreal.
