The property
The fly-fishing island
Alphonse is spoken of with reverence by fly-fishers: the St François lagoon nearby offers giant trevally, bonefish, triggerfish and milkfish on flats so productive the island runs strict rod limits. Everyone else gets an outer island in near-original condition — nesting turtles, huge bird colonies, empty beaches and diving on walls that drop into blue. Accommodation is simple-luxurious bungalows under the palms.
