Denis Island, a 350 acre coral cay is situated on the edge of the Seychelles Bank and lies some 80 kilometers from Mahe, it can be reached in six to eight hours by sea or thirty minutes by air. It is still frequented by turtles which lay their eggs in the sands, and has a population of wild tortoises roaming free.

Parts of the island are densely wooded with palm trees. There is also a lagoon surrounded by a wealth of coral, making the island an extremely desirable place.

Denis Island boasts a tiny fishing village with about fifteen houses and approximately fifty inhabitants, an Anglo-French lighthouse built in 1910, two prisons which are no longer used a centre for processing copra, a farm and the only ecumenical chapel on the archipelago.
