The people of Alibel

You are welcomed by the family who built it.

Alibel was not bought and branded. It was dreamed, drawn, built, painted and planted by one family. And we are still the ones who meet you at the door.

A family, and a team

Three of us, and a home we tend together.

When you stay at Alibel, you are not a room number in a chain. You are a guest of a small family who build, cook, paint, plant and host, and who genuinely want you to feel at home.

William Bell

Co-founder

My husband dreamed this place beside me and gave it his whole heart. The calm you feel here, the sense that someone is genuinely glad you came, much of that is his.

Salifa Ally Bell

Founder, builder, artist

I designed Alibel, ran the build with my own construction company, and painted the art on the walls myself. If you feel care in every corner, it is because I put it there by hand.

Operations, and family

TC, as we call him, is the reason your days run smoothly, from the moment you arrive to your day out on the water. We are a team, and he is at the heart of it.

The hands behind your stay

And the whole team who make it easy.

Behind every easy morning is a team who cook, clean, drive and guide, our own people who know the island and look after you as their own. When your breakfast is ready, your villa is spotless, or your boat is waiting, this is who you have to thank.
