About Desroches Island
Desroches is a low coral island in the Amirantes group of the Seychelles Outer Islands, southwest of Mahé. Its landscape combines white-sand beaches, coconut palms and woodland, with an IDC settlement on the north coast and a resort elsewhere on the island. The island stands on the edge of a submerged atoll, with reef and lagoon waters around it.
Most resort visitors arrive by aircraft, but Desroches also appears on Silhouette Cruises’ upcoming Outer Islands nature expedition routes. These small-vessel visits are expedition calls, not a mainstream cruise turnaround, and should not be confused with Inner Islands ports such as Mahé, Praslin or La Digue.
- Climate
- Regional Seychelles climate: warm tropical conditions with a wetter, humid northwest-monsoon period, especially December to February. Rain generally eases through March; April brings a transition with lighter, variable winds. Southeast trade winds develop in May, bringing relatively cooler, drier conditions and windier, rougher seas, particularly during June to September. Winds weaken during October and rain increases again in November. This is Seychelles-wide seasonal guidance rather than measured Desroches Island climate normals.
