  • Luxury Indian Ocean hotel holidays, tailormade by travel experts

    OneandOnly Le Saint Geran Mauritius Indian Ocean
    Paradise Cove Mauritius Indian Ocean
    Prince Maurice Mauritius Indian Ocean
    Indian Ocean Maldives Hilton
    Indian Ocean Mauritius Residence
    Maradiva Mauritius Indian Ocean

    Our Indian Ocean tailor-made luxury hotel holidays offer an outstanding choice of luxury travel options from island hideaways to sophisticated hotel resorts with superb service, luxurious accommodation and wonderful leisure facilities from spas to tennis, diving to golf in the Maldives, the Seychelles and Mauritius. This is very much tailor-made luxurious and authentic Indian Ocean holidays.

    Mauritius 

    Mauritius is a fascinating melting pot of peoples and cultures, a place where the religious traditions of Hindu, Moslem, Christian and Buddhist sit comfortably with the racial mix of African, Indian, Chinese and European. A familiar sight would be a Chinese grocery store next to a Hindu shrine opposite a Buddhist cemetery. A serene landscape of sugar-cane fields and mountain peaks, lush tropical fruit trees of banana and coconut, spices and bursts of bougainvillaea is bordered by soft white sands lapped by clear, vibrant turquoise waters. Casuarina trees line the beaches and just offshore are often moored small, flat fishing boats. Mauritius is a luxurious holiday paradise, yet made special and ultimately welcoming by its charming and courteous people.

    Seychelles 

    The Seychelles are scenically some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Just south of the equator and outside the cyclone zone, the visitor to the Seychelles encounters the archetypal tropical island of white sand beach and palm trees. The people and culture are a mix of Arab, Indian, African and European; the institutions a blend of French and British. Laidback luxury encompasses the way of life for the visitor to the Seychelles. Island-hopping allows you to visit more than one of these beautiful islands and affords a range of island holiday experiences.

    Maldives 

    Low-lying, coral atolls, white sand beaches amid a dazzling blue-green sea, the Maldives are perfect for luxurious seclusion and outstanding relaxation. The hotels fit snugly into the topography of the island, and great care has been taken to meet environmental regulations. The hotels have been constructed on designated islands so do become island resorts and little contact with the ‘real’ Maldives is possible. Below the surface of the sea an amazing world of coral beckons with some of the most extensive reefs in the world. An away-from-it all island experience with sensational underwater sightseeing.
