Alphonse Island and Alphonse Island Resort - The original island (along with St. Francois and Bijoutier) that made the Seychelles a world-famous fly-fishing mecca. Alphonse is the perfect destination for fly anglers traveling with non-angling partners and family members who just want to relax and enjoy the island lifestyle. 
The resort is made up of 22 Beach Bungalows, five 1-Bedroom Beach Villas and two spacious 4-Bedroom Beach Villas. Built alongside the water’s edge, each accommodation enjoys spectacular ocean views. It's easy to get around the resort on foot or by using the complimentary bikes. A central dining and bar area is set alongside the sparkling swimming pool and beach shoreline, with cuisine offering the best of traditional Creole creations and complemented by a wine list of distinctive variety.

The Fishing is on nearby St. Francois - The season runs from early September to the end of May. A maximum of 12 anglers are able to fish this amazing habitat per week, and when you add it up there are about 10,000 acres of wadable flats with exceptional populations of bonefish, plus giant trevally, bluefin and golden trevally, Indo-Pacific permit, triggerfish, parrotfish, barracuda, snapper, grouper, and milkfish. It's all incredible, but of note is that the permit fishing is some of the best in the Seychelles and the milk fishing is arguably the best in the world. Two anglers per guide/skiff, with most fishing done by wading.
Want to go offshore? The variety of blue water species include sailfish, wahoo, dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado and even marlin at times. Catching sailfish and dorado on fly is a blast, and of course conventional gear is always available. 

Getting Here - We can arrange all your flights from your hometown and back with connections mostly through Dubai or Doha, but there are other options. We can suggest lots of fun options for a stop-over in Dubai or Doha. It is a four and a half hour flight from Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi to the Seychelles main island of Mahe. There are also direct flights from Paris, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, and other cities.  Our ground team will greet you in Mahe and get you to your Alphonse connecting flight. The flight takes about one hour and is included in your trip. We can also arrange luxury island vacations and amazing resorts throughout the Seychelles.
