Alphonse, the principal island of the Alphonse Group, is a small triangular island barely 1.2km wide, sheltered by a spectacular coral reef. Located 400km southwest of Mahé, Alphonse was initially developed around the coconut industry and was also mined for guano (decomposed bird droppings).
Alphonse is one of the few among Seychelles’ outer islands to offer accommodation. The island provides excellent opportunities for fly-fishing, deep-sea fishing, and diving in virgin waters.
