Indian Ocean

Private Island, Maldives

The Maldives are the most desirable tropical islands in the world, the picture-perfect paradise, an archipelago of ring-shaped coral atolls close to the Equator composed of thousands of islands, some of which are inhabited by the local population and others are reserved to world-class luxury resorts.

These small islets surrounded by lush vegetation of palm trees bent by the wind, white beaches and turquoise lagoons populated by colourful fish are truly what is often referred to as “the last paradise on earth”. A luxury holiday in the Maldives never disappoints, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the fiery sunsets and the infinite shades of blue fill the skies and the heart of every traveller.

La Source d'Argent, La Digue 

The extraordinary beauty of the Seychelles strikes you from the very first moment you land at Mahe airport, the largest island of the archipelago and you are greeted by the unmistakable tropical heat and the lush vegetation that seems to belong to another world.

Victoria, the capital city certainly deserves a morning sightseeing tour, the Clock Tower is a symbolic monument of the city, as is the colourful market where all kinds of fruit and vegetables, local handicrafts, spices and essential oils can be found. Air Seychelles internal flights and fast ferry services, better known as "Cat Cocos “, connect Mahe with the nearby islands of Praslin and La Digue, whose beaches of talcum-powder sand and breathtaking views are the backdrop to the most important and luxurious resorts of the archipelago.

Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar 

Off the coast of Tanzania, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibaris is surrounded and is described by an archipelago of smaller islands, Mafia, Mnemba and Pemba, Zanzibar is described by many as the "new Mauritius". Although in the past it was only a place where to spend a few days in total relaxation after a safari in the Serengeti, today, the countless luxury resorts and the enchanting eco-friendly islets, have led the island to be in the limelight as a destination per se.
