CERF ISLAND RESORT
A small, relaxed resort on Cerf Island inside the Sainte Anne Marine Park, just fifteen minutes by boat from Victoria yet a world away, with reef, forest and quiet beaches.
Laid-back island getaway offering an infinity pool, a spa, a beachfront restaurant & water sports.
An island in the marine park
Cerf Island sits in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, a cluster of protected islands just off Victoria. Despite being only a short boat ride from the capital, it feels genuinely secluded, forested and calm, with the marine park’s clear, fish-filled water all around.
The resort is small and low-key, a handful of villas set among the trees above the beach, with the emphasis on nature, snorkelling and quiet rather than resort scale.
Close to Victoria, far from the crowds
The great appeal of Cerf is the combination of seclusion and access. You can be snorkelling over reef in a protected marine park within minutes of leaving Victoria, then have a forested island and a quiet beach largely to yourself.
It suits couples and nature lovers who want an easy island escape with excellent snorkelling, without a long journey or a big-resort feel.

Snorkel straight off the island and go early. Cerf sits inside a protected marine park, so the reef is close and full of life, best in the calm of the morning before the day boats arrive from Mahé.
