Alphonse Island, Seychelles
We can’t wait to get out to Alphonse Island, on the outer periphery of the Seychelles where its remoteness really sets it apart from its stablemates dotted in the Indian Ocean just below the equator. But… we’re just holding back until October this year, when Alphonse’s fabulous brace of beach villas open their doors on to the most luxurious and spacious holiday spaces imaginable.
Alphonse Island, Seychelles
Each beach villa has four enormous rooms with opulent en-suite bathrooms surrounding the sort of living, dining and entertaining space that would impress the most indulged of Hollywood A-listers. Their decks, with plunge pools, open directly on to your private beach, with a colossal ocean view reserved just for you. You can spend days diving, snorkelling, fly-fishing, discovering the smaller islands that make up these atolls, and getting up-close to rare, out-size amphibians. But we reckon you’ll want to be back at base soon to enjoy your truly palatial stay in paradise.
At A Glance…
- Situated between seven and nine degrees south of the equator, the remote outer islands and atolls of the Seychelles offer miles of unblemished shorelines, lagoons and sea flats rich in fauna and flora and an assorted array of aquatic mammals, reptiles and fish.
- Alphonse Island is a one hour flight from Mahe and is open all year round. Due to the location of Alphonse, it is always summer and the temperature rarely drops below 22 degrees.
- The accommodation at Alphonse has been designed to blend in with the natural environment and built beside the water’s edge offering scenic ocean views.
