Alphonse Island lies 280 miles south west of Mahé Island and covers a triangular land area of 430 acres. The island is surrounded by a coralline lagoon which has evolved over thousands of years from rising corals that thrive on the rich and abundant sea life.

The 25 Double Beach Chalets and 5 Executive Villas(suitable for 2 adults and 2 children) lace the water's edge and all share the stunning panoramic view over the waters within the coralline reef.

Dining in the elegant Bijoutier restaurant is also a pleasure.The exquisite cuisine is complemented by the fine selection of wines and the beautiful view over the tropical gardens, swimming pool and ocean beyond.

Exploring the island is a delight: Walking or cycling along the many paths you will discover the small island village, coconut groves and a variety of tropical vegetation including papayas, bananas, wild cotton and sisal.

There is a resident warden available to organise reef walks, turtle watches and nature walks and with his wealth of knowledge and experience we highly recommend you take advantage of this fascinating excursion.

It is claimed that the best diving in the Seychelles is to be found on Alphonse where one can expect to see stunning giant sea fans, hard and staghorn corals, to drift with snappers, napoleon fish, great barracudas, blue fin, trevallies, tuna, rays, and of course turtles.

Alphonse Island Resort also offers the exciting and exhilarating sport of fly-fishing for Bone fish and Trevally and is so highly acclaimed that Alphonse has been voted one of the finest fly-fishing sites in the world. Day fly-fishing excursions to Bijoutier and St Francoise are available by special request through Seychelles Travel.

The large lagoon with its crystal clear waters and dramatic variations in the underwater terrain makes this a fascinating and exhilarating site to snorkel and explore.
