A scenic three hour flight from the main island, you will find the remote Astove Atoll. This breathtaking marine environment has magnificent drop-offs, famous for Jacques Cousteau’s “The Silent World” which was filmed partly along its edges and attracting the world’s finest divers and aquatic photographers. The newly renovated six bedroomed Coral House only receives a handful of guests each week, thereby adding to the solitude and tranquility found here. Astove is surrounded with white sandy beaches which are also home to one of the largest populations of nesting turtles.
While away days kayaking amongst turtles, exploring the reefs, going on snorkelling safaris and generally learning more about the astounding ecosystem of this atoll.
After your wonderful stay on Astove, it's time to take a one-hour boat transfer to the iconic Cosmoledo Atoll. Referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, Cosmoledo is as wild and remote as you can get and features an untouched ecosystem that boasts vast sand flats, over 20 beautiful islands, islets and cays and a truly wonderful lagoon. It is an exceptional atoll with just eight unique Eco Pods that blend seamlessly with the diverse landscape, ultimately defining barefoot luxury in a place that is frozen in time. A remote and private retreat boasting incredible birdlife, Cosmoledo Atoll can only be described as “one of Mother Nature’s’ finest creations”.
Whilst the pace of life at Cosmoledo Atoll is slow, long, balmy days will be enhanced by exciting interactions with the amazing natural splendour of this atoll.
It’s time to head to the heart of our operations, Alphonse Island. Here you will find a well-rounded hideaway that offers plenty of activities to keep you entertained, whilst the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean gently lap the dazzlingly white sandy beaches. Fringed by palm trees and surrounded by a tropical paradise, Alphonse Island features a small stylish lodge with a magnificent pool, the Azure Spa and an incredible diversity of experiences led by an expert team.
