Alphonse Island is surrounded by a coralline lagoon which has evolved over thousands of years from rising corals that thrive on the rich and abundant sea life

The 25 Double Beach Chalets and 5 Executive Villas(suitable for 2 adults and 2 children) lace the water's edge and all share the stunning panoramic view over the waters within the coralline reef

Dining
