Cerf Island

With more than 150 species of reef fish, crabs, sea urchins, starfish, octopus and many more...

Situated at the entrance of the Marine Park, Cerf Island Resort measures more than 1.5km long (about a mile) and almost 1km (almost ¾ of a mile); it reaches a height of 108m (354 feet) and lies 3km east of Mahe.

Cerf Island was named after the French frégate "Le Cerf" which arrived at Port Victoria on 1 November 1756. Due to Cerf Island's location, in a National Marine Park, the waters around Cerf Island prove a spectacular sight. The deepest point of the Marine Park is 250 metres (820 feet) and the Park offers exceptional marine life, with a wide variety of reef fish, crabs, sea urchins, starfish, octopus and many more. Cerf Island is the only island in the marine park to have a small local population who commute to Mahe for their daily business. They live on the opposite side of the island.

Named in Creole after local trees and fish, Cerf Island Resort has a total of 12 intimate and luxurious villas. All the villas offer beautiful views of the tropical vegetation and patches of the Indian Ocean. All allow for fantastic sunsets.

A number of activities are available including snorkeling, diving, kayaks, pedal boats, picnics and barbecues, trolling fishing, nature trails and sailing. For snorkeling enthusiasts Cerf Island offers exceptional marine life with more than 150 species of reef fish, crabs, sea urchins, starfish and octopus.
