Desroches (one of the outer islands of the Seychelles archipelago) is famed for its natural beauty: its picture postcard perfect beaches, bright white powdery sand-lined with palm trees; its thriving underwater world, coral teaming with all manner of fish as far as the eye can see. Every day as we cycle around the island we […]
I have been living and working in Seychelles for just over one month now and it has gone so fast. I am enjoying all aspects of the job and I love how varied it is – you never get bored here. It’s great having a job where I can go into the ocean most days […]
I can’t believe I have been to Mauritius and back so quickly, one month flew by so fast. It was great to have the opportunity to work at the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita as well as be home with my family. The best part in Mauritius was the snorkeling at Eau Bleu and […]
I’m fast approaching two months here in Seychelles with WiseOceans and I cannot believe how fast it has gone. Each day arriving at the beach makes me laugh a little in shock at my ‘office’. Petite Anse is a remarkably beautiful bay, even by Seychelles standards, with the picturesque fine white sand, azure water and […]

My office is located on a beautiful beach called Petite Anse – white sand and turquoise water. This beautiful bay is full of marine organisms, my favorite are […]
We are very lucky to have three tortoises at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita and although the focus of our work is on marine life we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to welcome the world renowned tortoise and turtle expert, Dr Jeanne Mortimer to the resort. The tortoises are a big attraction to all […]
On my first day at WiseOceans as Blue Economy intern, I learnt about a project entitled “Promise To The Reef”. This project engaged my attention because not only does it involve educating people about ways to reduce their negative impact on climate change, but it also attempts to get them even more involved by taking […]
At the start of the year we were proud to launch the ‘Love Grows Beautiful Things’ experience at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, which gives honeymoon couples an opportunity to mark their special union by sponsoring a coral fragment to grow and develop – just like their relationship – in Petite Anse bay. Couples select a […]
