The Best Hotels Near Denis Private Island Seychelles, by the Record

  1. A working wildlife reserve that happens to have 23 cottages on it, Denis Private Island sits on a 375-acre coral atoll with its own airstrip, a century-old lighthouse, and giant tortoises a short bike ride from your veranda. The colonial-style villas are built with wood from a carpentry workshop on the island, and some have plunge pools. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.


  2. Praslin holds the only 18-hole championship golf course in the Seychelles, and it happens to sit inside this sprawling luxury resort on Anse Kerlan's white sand. Constance Lemuria draws honeymooners and families in roughly equal measure, and the villas lean into natural wood and stone without fussing too much about it. Seven restaurants cover Creole cooking through to sushi, and the Constance Spa is there when the Indian Ocean stops being enough.


  3. Eighty-six villas cling to the rocks above a bay on Praslin's southwestern shore, each one equipped with plunge pools, outdoor rain showers, and a butler who arrives by golf cart to spare you the indignity of walking uphill. This is a full-scale luxury resort, and it leans into every inch of that. Anse Lazio, one of the Indian Ocean's more absurdly beautiful white-sand beaches, is close enough to feel like yours.


  4. Six Senses Zil Pasyon sits on Félicité, a private island in the Seychelles where the only neighbors are giant sea-smoothed granite boulders and dense jungle. This is a luxury resort at the far end of far-flung, with villas built into the rock face, each with a plunge pool and the kind of ocean views that make you question every life choice that led you to an office. Four miles of paths connect it all. Forbes Four Star.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
