The Farm:
- The island farm supplies almost all meat, dairy, poultry, fresh-produce to the restaurant for true farm-to-table dining
- Fish is caught locally by our team
- This reduces supply chain carbon footprint/ensures quality/guarantees no use of harmful pesticide in the production of food and guests can see for themselves that their food is free-range and raised in humane conditions
- The farm also plays an import role in waste management: left over food given to the pigs, tree trimmings (especially non-native palm trees) are mulched and used for animal feed
- Farm is a source of natural and nutritious fertilizer for crops and gardens.
- Excess produce is sold on Mahe in a farm shop, giving local consumers access to high-quality non-imported meat.
The Forest:
- Non-native coconut plantation has been carefully and systematically removed and replaced with native and endemic vegetation
- The introduction of critically endangered endemic bird species (Seychelles Magpie Robin, Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher, Seychelles Warbler) were introduced to the island. The success of these introduced populations has downgraded these species from "critically endangered" to "endangered".
Eradication of Pests:
- Great expense and planning has gone into removing non-native predators (rats, cats and Myna birds) from the island. Denis Island is officially rat-free. The removal of these predators has allowed bird populations to thrive. Huge increases in population numbers for sea and land birds have been recorded since these pests were eradicated.
Power:
- Denis Island is home to one of the largest solar power projects in Seychelles, which largely (together with generators) supplies power to the entire island
Marine Protected Area:
- The waters surrounding Denis Island have recently been declared a marine protected zone. We are working closely with environmental organisations to manage this area.
- Denis island is an important nesting ground for endangered hawksbill and green turtles. Turtles nest all year round at Denis Island.
- Denis Island is one of the best destinations in the world for catching bill fish - all bill fish are tagged and released.
Greywater:
- Water from the laundry is sprayed over the dust roads, to keep dust down (so water does not pollute any other water sources, and less cleaning = less water consumption)
Workshop:
- Much of the furniture and flooring in the cottages and main building is made from drift wood or timber grown on the island (non-native trees that have been removed from the forest).
Green Islands Foundation:
- This NGO was initially set up by the island's owners to manage conservation projects on Denis Island alone (eg. Turtle monitoring and the translocation of endangered birds).
- The organization has since grown and now manages projects on multiple other islands.
Denis Island has also a signatory of the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge.

Guests consistently highlight the beautiful and comfortable rooms, many of which offer direct sea views. The decor, reflecting an elegant maritime style with natural materials, receives high praise for creating a unique and authentic atmosphere. Family rooms and duplexes cater well to larger groups, noted for their generous size and thoughtful decoration.

The culinary experience at Bliss Boutique Hotel Seychelles is a delight, starting with a delightful breakfast featuring a wide variety of sweet and savory options, all enjoyed with stunning sea views. The breakfast buffet is particularly well-received for its quality and selection. Dinner continues the trend with excellent local cuisine, themed buffets and a generally high standard of food.
