Environment & Sustainability
Nature conservation is very close to the heart of Four Seasons Resort Desroches Island. This private island has long been closely linked to the natural environment. That is why the entire staff is strongly committed to protecting the unique flora and fauna of the region.
The turtle population in particular, but also the bird life and the island's beaches and coconut palm forests are the focus of the extensive endeavours.
There are no motorised water sports, great attention is paid to sustainability and plastic waste that washes ashore is regularly disposed of. The charming team looks forward to your interest and cooperation.
German nationals do not require a visa to enter the Seychelles. Upon entry, the passport must be valid until at least the end of the planned duration of the trip and have at least two free pages.
No proof of vaccination is required for direct entry from Germany. However, the Federal Foreign Office recommends checking the standard vaccinations according to the current vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute and completing them if necessary.
The tropical climate in the Seychelles is influenced by the monsoon. Between December and March, the rather windless north-west monsoon brings rain to the islands, while the windy, dry south-east monsoon influences the Seychelles' climate from May to September. In April and from October to November there is a relatively windless phase. Despite these different conditions, the average temperature remains constant at around 30 degrees.
