 For the ultimate getaway, visit the atoll of Alphonse, the largest in this group of atolls, which lies 400km (250 miles) south west of Mahé. Beautiful white beaches line the edges of the dense natural forest, interspersed with the remnants of old commercial coconut groves where you will find ancient ambling tortoises, scurrying crabs and an interesting array of bird species. The warm, shallow waters of the lagoon are home to a myriad of colourful fish and fascinating sea life while the depths of the ocean open up a whole new world of underwater fauna and untouched corals. |
 This quintessential tropical island, part of St Francois atoll is covered with towering palms, circled by a white sandy beach and crystal clear water. Bijoutier, so named because of her exquisite, jewel-like beauty can only be reached at certain tides and has never been inhabited but by shipwrecked sailors, awaiting rescue. |
 Often referred to as the most beautiful island in all Seychelles, this crescent-shaped island is set within kilometers of the spectacular sandy flats of the St Francois atoll and is a wilderness adventure in itself. Apart from the world-class flyfishing, it boasts a massive population of crustacea and a host of interesting bird species. The Amirantes Trench that extends to a depth of more than five kilometers (three miles) deep has caught many a sailor unawares and several exposed shipwrecks dot the horizon. |
