The Maldives
One island, one resort, one lagoon: the Maldives distil the sea to its essence. Water villa or beach villa, near or remote atolls, richer or poorer house reefs — the differences between resorts are enormous. We know them one by one: give us your budget and we start from there.
08.02
Mauritius
Le Morne mountain over the lagoon, mile-long beaches, resorts where service is an art form, and a Creole island worth exploring. Mauritius is the Indian Ocean’s elegant choice, beloved by honeymooners. We point you to the right coast for your travel season.
08.03
The Seychelles
The granite boulders of Anse Source d’Argent, giant tortoises, three islands — Mahé, Praslin, La Digue — linked by fast ferries. The Seychelles are lush nature first, luxury second. Island hopping is the formula we recommend almost every time.
08.04
Zanzibar
Blinding white sand, tides that carve natural pools, Stone Town and the spice plantations. Zanzibar is the Indian Ocean at its most accessible, on its own or after a Tanzanian safari. Tides really matter here — we explain which coast to choose.
08.05
Madagascar
The avenue of baobabs at sunset, lemurs, forests and tsingy formations found nowhere else, the sea at Nosy Be. Madagascar is an island-continent for curious travellers, where logistics need a firm hand. We piece together internal flights, guides and stops.

Réunion
An active volcano, three trekking cirques, waterfalls in the forest and panoramic roads: Réunion is a mountain in mid-ocean, overseas France with euros and full healthcare. It pairs beautifully with Mauritius — sea on one side, trails on the other. We balance the two islands for you.
