Unplug from the world and experience life at a different pace. The Seychelles’ private islands offer some of the most remarkable and untouched environments in the region — think palm-fringed beaches with no footprints, coral reefs you can swim to from your villa, and jungle trails that lead to nothing but birdsong and the scent of wild cinnamon. From the refined eco-philosophy at Six Senses on Félicité Island to the gentle rusticity of Denis Island, these are places that cater to both the body and the mind. It’s also worth noting that with only a handful of guests on each island, every experience — from dining to diving — feels entirely your own.
Private Islands, Seychelles
Where life slows to a quiet rhythm and every day begins with the sound of waves and ends under a canopy of stars.
Private Islands, Seychelles
Scattered like gems across the turquoise waters of the Seychelles, the private islands offer a level of seclusion that feels far from everyday life — yet most are surprisingly easy to reach. Whether you arrive by light aircraft or helicopter from Mahé, these islands are just a short hop away, with each one offering its own distinct character. From barefoot luxury on Denis and Desroches to the wild, jungle-covered beauty of Félicité and the refined calm of North Island, the experience here is less about formalities and more about space, stillness and the simple rhythm of island life.

Best Time To Visit Private Islands, Seychelles
The Seychelles is a genuinely year-round destination, but conditions shift subtly throughout the seasons:
May to October (Dry Season):
This is the cooler, windier time of year — ideal for hiking, snorkelling and those looking to escape the humidity. Expect calm seas on the western coasts and little rain.
November to April (Green Season):
Warmer, stiller and more humid, this period brings tropical downpours — often brief and refreshing. It’s a particularly good time for diving, with excellent visibility and gentle sea conditions.
