Alphonse Atoll

The Alphonse Group is one of the most famed saltwater fly fishing destinations in the Indian Ocean, with ten thousand acres of white sand flats provide easy wading and world-class fishing.

The atolls are home to huge populations of bonefish, three different types of triggerfish, barracuda, snapper, grouper, Indo-Pacific permit, parrotfish and eight species of trevally, including the infamous giant trevally.

The most challenging fish to catch, though, is the fabled milk fish, a turbo-charged algae eater growing to 40lbs.

This diversity gives anglers the opportunity to target a myriad of different species during their stay.

The guides on Alphonse are also first class – coming from all over the world with years of experience in saltwater guiding. Their knowledge of the waters that surround Alphonse is unmatched with strict safety protocols and hard earns qualifications in boatman ship; you could not be in better hands.

Alphonse Island boasts a single resort made up of Beach Bungalows, Beach Suites and spacious Beach Villas.

Built alongside the water’s edge, each accommodation enjoys spectacular ocean views.

A central dining and bar area lets you socialise alongside the sparkling pool and shoreline, with cuisine offering the very best of traditional Creole creations.

The combination of organic harvest from the surrounding forest and private garden perfectly complements the bounty that the Indian Ocean offers daily. With no two meals ever presented the same, dining at Alphonse Island will not only stimulate the senses, but it will leave no doubt as to where you are finding yourself at that very moment.

Typically, anglers will take a packed lunch with them each day when fishing on the flats, enduring no time wasted, and you can make the most of your time on the water
