Indian Ocean · Indian Ocean
A lagoon-ringed island with mountains in the middle — the Indian Ocean at its most versatile, where a beach week can include golf, hiking, kitesurfing and genuinely good Creole cooking.
When to go
Year-round. May to December is drier and cooler; January to March is hot with occasional cyclones. July and August bring the best kitesurfing winds at Le Morne.
Getting there
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International, around 12 hours from London direct or via the Gulf. Transfers of 45–75 minutes to most resorts; helicopter transfers available.
What we arrange
Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.

Every hotel here is one we know personally. Tell us your dates and we will come back with availability, the right room category and any partner benefits that apply.

Insider note
Choose your coast deliberately: the east is calm and best for swimming, the west for sunsets and fishing, the south wild and dramatic, the north busiest. They feel like different islands.
