The Alphonse group of atolls in the very heart of the Indian Ocean is part of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, regarded as one of the last Eden’s of the world, a nature-lovers utopia. White beaches lie at the edge of dense natural forest, threaded with the remains of old coconut groves. Ancient tortoises amble around, crabs scurry past, and tropical birds brighten up the blue sky. Untouched nature and one of the prime protected ocean fisheries on earth lie waiting to greet friends, lovers, and family alike in this island paradise.
