Alphonse Group
The Alphonse Group is made up of three islands – Alphonse, Saint-Francois and Bijoutier, which lie approximately 400km southwest of Mahé.
Alphonse
Alphonse is the main island of the Alphonse Group. It is 1.7km² with a large shallow lagoon and triangular in shape. In 1999, the Alphonse Island Resort was built and offers a remote, luxury holiday destination with excellent diving spots and fly fishing opportunities.
Saint Francois
Saint-Francois (approximately 0.17km²) is a flat, V-shaped island full of coconut trees. Like its close neighbour Alphonse, it is also a popular fly-fishing spot.
Bijoutier
This tiny island is only 2 acres and home to many types of wildlife. Excursions to this little island can be arranged from Alphonse.
