Overview
The Outer Islands
Reached only by charter flight, Alphonse Island sits far from the inner Seychelles, ringed by pristine flats and reef.
Alphonse Island Lodge occupies a private coral atoll roughly an hour's charter flight south of Mahé, in the remote outer islands of the Seychelles archipelago. The island's expansive sand flats have made it one of the world's foremost fly-fishing destinations, with bonefish, milkfish and giant trevally drawing anglers from around the globe, while its outer reef walls offer some of the region's clearest, least-dived waters. Beach bungalows sit steps from the lagoon, and the lodge works closely with resident marine biologists on active conservation research, including a native tree-planting programme guests can join.
