Food & service

The four different culinary venues on Desroches Island, made up of two restaurants, a deli and a bar, are run in such a way that brings optimal variety to the pallet of the resort’s guests: Mediterranian being the cuisine of choice at Claudine, locally caught fresh seafood at The Lighthouse, The Deli catering for picnic lunches of adventurous types and The Bar, an ideal spot for sunset cocktails. Guests also have the option for room service to bring food and drinks to their villas. WiFi and a laundry service is available throughout.

Rooms

Open, beautifully constructed and with enormous emphasis placed on a wood-based contemporary feel, the sleeping rooms are divided into two categories: single suites and villas of varying sizes up to five bedrooms. Strung along Desroches’s western beach, and set in palm tree gardens, the suites and villas are alike in their design, a touch of a barefoot luxury feel with a vintage wooden style reminiscent of the 19th century explorer, but with convenient modern amenities in the form of minibars, air conditioning, televisions and pools. The smaller suits include king-sized beds, a terrace, double shower, and large bath tub and plunge pool, the larger family villas, all of the above, plus full kitchens and open air lounges, gardens. All rooms have direct access to the beach.
