Alphonse Island Vacations from $3,166

This was without doubt one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We only stayed 2 nights (Alfreda was right - not long enough!), but I felt like a new woman when I left. So relaxed, rejuvenated and restored. Every member of staff we encountered was helpful, kind and seemed happy - they clearly genuinely enjoy their jobs and the hotel environment. Shout out to Ajay at the Santosha restaurant, who served us beautifully at each meal. The range of foods at breakfast and supper (we were half board) was wonderful; something for everyone and always some Creole options for those wanting an authentic Seychellois experience, which we loved. The spa was incredible. It’s a totally private experience. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary so we opted for their “memorable together” experience, which included a body scrub and massage (we both fell asleep!) looking out over the trees to the ocean, followed by a private sauna and jacuzzi session with Canapés and champagne. It was perfect and Jaima and her colleague looked after us wonderfully, even adapting the treatment for my husband as he had painful sunburn. Little touches, like the gorgeous scent of lemongrass in the rooms at night (which also helps keep mozzies away) and in-room fridge, all added to the experience. Too many highlights to mention them all; we simply cannot wait to return!! Next time we’ll bring our children. Highly recommended!

This resort was AMAZING! Beautiful island and staffs are so kind!. Check in and check out was from our room. we didn't even have to go anywhere! Used the app to call buggies and room service. Shout out to Rodney for taking care of us and showing us around the island! He was a sweetheart!! And we just witnessed 3 critically endangered species of Hawksbill turtle get released into the ocean... the cutest thing EVER!! The water, the beach was SO gorgeous. And also a shout out to Dev at the spa for taking some beautiful pictures for us (selfie stick wasn't cutting it for us :) You MUST book the spa pool! It was out of this world! Wish we could stay longer! This resort was expensive but you get the premium services! Fell in love with this country. Definitely our top favorite destination along w/ Bora Bora. Seychelles is my 80th country to visit and I am overly surprised by it's beauty!
