Denis Island

An autonomous island

At Denis Private Island, time fades away and life reclaims its rights. A caress of warm breeze, the warmth of the first rays of sunshine, the rustle of palm fronds shading the white sandy beach, the body finds itself plunged into an ocean of blues and emotions. A handful of 25 discreet cottages opening onto untouched nature will deliver the promises of a well-deserved Eden… Welcome to Denis Island, says the airport sign. Here, no roads spoil the landscape, and only sandy paths with names evoking the island's history will reveal the secrets of this splendid private island. The hotel, or rather the village of 25 cottages set along the beach sheltered by coconut and casuarina trees, is the ideal refuge to settle in away from time. On the island, everyone feels at home and takes just as much pleasure in sharing their experiences with others. The cottages cultivate elegance, all opening onto generous nature, with interior and exterior cleverly blending. A vegetable garden, a farm, tortoises, endemic bird species, native plants, and all the magic of the Indian Ocean will satisfy the appetite of those who wish to sharpen their knowledge. Let's not forget wellbeing; it goes without saying, it is part of the island's natural order.

ETHICS

Denis is committed to environmental conservation, aiming to minimise the impact of visitors as much as possible. Everything has been designed with this in mind: building with local materials, water treatment and waste recycling. On the island, local production is prioritised through the farm, the vegetable garden, the carpentry workshop and water desalination. The island is almost 100% self-sufficient!
