A luxury trip to the Indian Ocean is everything you want it to be, and more.

Start Planning

Many come here to break free from the strains of the everyday. But the islands of the Indian Ocean are not only a means of escaping life – they’re the secret to finding it. We’ll take you out looking for lemurs as you explore jungles on horseback and show you the best spots for snorkelling with manta rays and sea turtles. We’ll even make sure you catch a glowing plankton show lighting up the ocean by night. Between dolphin safaris and elephant encounters, there’s no shortage of life to be found here. Madagascar. Mauritius. The Maldives. Each one practically hums with energy. And with every comfort and luxury at your fingertips, rainforest spa treatments, and overwater cinemas – it’s no wonder visitors leave feeling as good as new. If not better.

Just ask one of our Indian Ocean Travel Experts for their top picks. Whether you fancy a relaxing holiday to the Maldives or an intrepid adventure through the wilds of Madagascar. Just say the word and they’ll arrange a private seaplane to take you there. Between waterslides into turquoise oceans, unique full moon dinners at an overwater observatory, yoga sessions on the beach and invigorating jungle hikes – these islands excite at every turn. Gaze upon sunsets and sleep under stars. On one of our bespoke trips to the Indian Ocean islands, you’ll experience rest and relaxation like never before.

The best of Indian Ocean

Sri Lanka

An island that rewards those who look beyond the beach. The Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, where centuries of devotion fill the air with chanting and the soft ring of bells. Highland tea estates stretching up into the mist at Hatton, toured with a Resident Planter who knows every leaf. Ancient cave temples at Dambulla, their murals undimmed after 2,000 years. Elephants moving through the forest at dusk. Sri Lanka is compact, layered, and endlessly surprising.

Madagascar

Nowhere else on earth quite prepares you for Madagascar. Five percent of the world’s species live here, and almost all of them are found nowhere else. The haunting call of the Indri lemur echoing through the canopy at Analamazaotra. Ring-tailed lemurs and Verreaux’s sifakas moving through the Sacred Gallery forest at dusk. Baobab Alley at Morondava, 800-year-old giants silhouetted against a burning sky. This is a place that exists on its own evolutionary terms, and it shows.

The Indian Ocean Islands

The Maldives. The Seychelles. Mauritius. Réunion. Four islands, four very different moods. Shallow lagoons and overwater bungalows where the only decision is how long to stay in the water. Granite boulders and deserted coves in the Seychelles that feel like the world hasn’t found them yet. The colonial elegance of Mauritius and its volcanic interior. And Réunion — wild and dramatic, its active volcano and jungle ravines a reminder that the Indian Ocean has edges too. Paradise, in more than one form.
