Flat islands, a closed ring, and a wide lagoon dominate the landscape here. Everything appears calm, orderly, and deliberately protected.
The atoll lies in the Amirantes archipelago near D'Arros and consists of several small islands surrounding a lagoon. A variety of habitats converge in a small area. Since 2014, the area has been designated the D'Arros and St. Joseph Atoll Special Reserve, a nationally protected area. The focus is clearly on biodiversity, monitoring, and long-term conservation. Access and use are subject to strict regulations.
