Spread the love

Endless possibilities await romantic visitors planning to propose on a private getaway to the Indian Ocean Outer Islands of the Seychelles. With secluded spots amongst the lush vegetation, and breath-taking views of the shimmering sea to a picnic at sunset on the beach, the sensational settings for lovers travelling to Alphonse Island are what dreams are made of.

Alphonse Island is a pristine and pure, untouched paradise in the Outer Island of Seychelles, located 400km southwest of the mainland of Mahé. The remote location of the island creates an atmosphere of undisturbed solitude where guests can have total privacy with one another to celebrate love. Alphonse Island is perfect for lovers of adventure as well as lovers of romance. Renowned across the globe for its glorious waters teeming with colourful and diverse marine life, guests can enjoy diving and snorkelling with the PADI Five-Star Dive Centre as well as fishing. Whether guests wish to explore the island by bike, participate in conservation activities, enjoy private dining by sunset, or take a moment of reflection against the tranquil stunning surroundings, Alphonse Island has limitless settings, all perfect for proposing to the one you love.

One truly sensational location for the perfect proposal is the sunset cruise. Guests can toast to their relationship on the deck of the 54-foot catamaran A’mani against the orange and yellow hues of the Indian Ocean sunset. The colours interact with the clouds and reflect off the ocean making each sunset unique and a magnificent show of light. With a unique perspective of the island and the possibility of spotting Spinner Dolphins and turtles, why not choose the waves as the destination to present an engagement ring that can catch the light of the sunset?

Alphonse Island celebrates the flavoursome nature of the delicious ingredients sourced on and around the island. The new farm-to-table menu uses fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and spices grown on Alphonse Island’s own farm and line-caught fish and seafood sourced from the balmy waters surrounding the island. What better place to enjoy the delectable food than on a picnic on the beach? After enjoying the very best of Alphonse’s cuisine, the white-sand beaches are an idyllic location to celebrate a relationship and toast to love.

For a recharge after exploring the island, strolling beneath the palm trees, or just relaxing beside the pool, the Azure Spa offers a refuge where your mind can relax, and your body can simply unwind. Expert therapists work their magic with head and shoulder treatments of full-body massages tailored to individual needs. After a day fully immersing in the barefoot luxury of Alphonse Island, couples can retreat to a Beach Bungalow, One-Bedroom Beach Villa, or a luxurious Beach Retreat. Each of the extraordinary accommodations perfectly complements the natural surroundings whilst emulating the relaxed Seychellois way of life.

A secluded walk on the nearby island of Bijoutier is utterly idyllic. The palm tree-fringed beach with the brilliant blue waters of the Indian Ocean gently lapping the shoreline is a blissful, solitary escape and the picture-perfect location for a proposal!

The Alphonse group of atolls in the very heart of the Indian Ocean, part of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, is regarded as one of the last Edens of the world, a nature lover’s paradise. Unimaginably 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 lovers and friends alike in this island paradise.

Blue Safari Seychelles’ philosophy is a combination of sustainable travel with luxury accommodation, where guests can be assured of unforgettable experiences combined with the highest level of attentive service.
