ALPHONSE ISLAND

Development Strategy

Alphonse Atoll is the only island destination in the Indian Ocean that has all these unique activities in one place. “Experiences Are Our Luxury”. Alphonse is a group of three Atolls (Alphonse Atoll, Bijoutier Atoll and St Francois Atoll), all with vast white sand flats unlike the granitic inner islands of the Seychelles. It’s similar to Maldives only much wilder, exclusive and way more pristine with more activities. Alphonse Island is a private island. Bijoutier and St Francois are private to Alphonse and have never been inhabited, have no infrastructure and have been left wild and pristine. They are a slow 15 min boat ride (1 mile) away and daily excursions take place. Year round turtles, tortoises, manta’s and dolphins. Known as the best diving in the Seychelles. PDI dive centre that offers all the courses from beginners (bubble maker) to advanced (rescue dive). We have all the equipment needed and even offer NITROX. One of the worlds best fly fishing and fishing destinations (catch and release) limited space to keep it pristine. Conservation orientated with numerous projects taking place on a daily places. We like to involve our guests if they would like to take part. The Alphonse group is a marine sanctuary.
