Alphonse Island lies in the heart of the Indian Ocean, 7° south of the Equator and 500 kms south-west of the capital island Mahe.  It is part of the Alphonse Group extending 16 km from north to south, comprising three islands: Alphonse in the north, discovered on 28 January 1730 by Chevalier Alphonse de Pontevez, commanding the French frigate Le Lys; Bijoutier in the middle, so named for its jewel-like beauty and a national symbol of the Seychelles; and St François in the south, named after Saint-François de Sales, now perhaps more famous for its fishing. Alphonse Island is a small triangular-shaped coral island strewn with coconut trees, boasting 3.6 km of coastline protected by a reef and offering the most idyllic setting for a very exclusive holiday.
