the destination

Alphonse Island is one of the great bonefish fisheries on earth — but what sets it apart is the variety. On a single day you can get shots at bonefish, milkfish, triggerfish, permit, and GT. Very few places in the world can offer that. The lodge delivers genuine luxury — world-class dining, exceptional accommodation, and enough activities to keep non-fishing partners more than happy.

who it suits

A strong fit if you —

✓ Are fishing saltwater for the first time

✓ Are an experienced angler chasing a Seychelles slam

✓ Are travelling with a non-fishing partner who needs genuine activities

✓ Enjoy luxurious accomodation and comfort away from angling

✓ Are looking for the ultimate family destination

Consider alternatives if —

✗ You want true wilderness and minimal other anglers — look at Astove or Cosmoledo

✗ GT is your only target — other outer islands in the Seychelles will give you more shots

✗ Budget is a primary concern — there are more affordable saltwater trips

checkpoint verdict

"Alphonse is one of the only atolls in the world where you can realistically get a shot at the Seychelles Big 5 — bonefish, permit, GT, triggerfish, and milkfish — in a single day. That variety is what makes guiding here so special. Every day on the water is different. And when it comes to the bonefishing specifically, you'll struggle to find better."
