Relax in the Indian Ocean

Breathtaking beauty & fabulous luxury.

Indian Ocean

The third largest of the world’s seas, the Indian Ocean is dotted with intriguing islands which are home to some of the planet’s most glamorous holidays, offering white sands, crystal-clear waters and gorgeous luxury accommodation. The best known destinations provide a warm and stylish welcome and, although costs can inevitably be higher-end, the development of smaller hotel and resorts means that affordable options are also available.

Consisting of over 1000 islands, 200 of which are inhabited and 100 are luxury resorts, The Maldives offers plenty of choice for your dream island holiday. Your first adventure is getting to your private island following arrival on the main island of Male - by speedboat or seaplane! Accommodation comes in the form of beach huts directly on the white sands of the Indian Ocean, or water villas standing on stilts over the crystal-clear water.

Then there's Mauritius, a much larger island than its sisters within the Indian Ocean but still the perfect back drop for a holiday in paradise. Expect white sand, turquoise sea, tea plantations, nature reserves, towns, villages and a mix of culture and religion.

Adrenaline-fuelled days can be found amidst the island’s jungle clad mountains, take part in zip lining, quad biking or water fall abundant walks. Food in Mauritius is an outstanding mix of Indian, African and French!

The island of Sri Lanka is very deceptive, it may look small but the land is vast with areas of interest in all four corners. The best way to discover the full beauty of Sri Lanka is by private car and driver, both will be at your disposal throughout your stay giving you stress-free travel with an expert guide. Your trip can be pre-planned if you wish or not if you prefer to see where the road takes you.

MALDIVES HOLIDAYS

With so many islands to choose from in the Maldives, it is important you choose the right one for you. Choose wisely and your island will be your ideal home in paradise, at least for a little while! At Flitch Travel, we bring together our experience with your desires to help you identify which islands will match your tastes in terms of suitable dining choices, accommodation and activities such as snorkelling and cycling.

MAURITIUS HOLIDAYS

MAURITIUS HOLIDAYS

The best way to make the most of your time in Mauritius is to get out and about - leave your resort for a while, hire a car, boat or bike, explore and meet the locals. Being an ex-British colony, the road network is well developed and navigating is easy. Being one island, there are no barriers in the way of seeing as much as possible and we can guarantee you will experience some jaw- dropping scenery along the way!

SRI LANKA HOLIDAYS

Our ‘must do’ recommendation for Sri Lanka is a Minneriya National Park Safari. Hop in your open-top jeep for a few hours of exploration, discover the park while keeping an eagle eye out for the wide array of beautiful birds, including magnificent peacocks, and other wildlife found within its borders. Minneriya is also famed for its elephants, especially during the drier months when they congregate at water sources. A half day is plenty of time to enjoy this attraction, making for a nice relaxed itinerary.

Amelia at Flitch Travel carefully listened to our requirements for our bespoke four-week holiday to South Africa. She obtained quotes from various specialist suppliers for comparison, which enabled us to select a package that met our needs perfectly. We have just returned from our once-in-a-lifetime trip and couldn’t be happier with all the arrangements made for us. We had an amazing time.

The Only Way to Book!
Amie & Amelia have been outstanding!
I usually handle our holiday bookings, but I must say I have enjoyed taking a back seat this time. Ladies, this is definitely the first of many more!
Roll on October....I'll be back!

Caroline Smith

I will always tell anyone 1000% to use Flitch Travel with complete peace of mind. 

Thanks again Tina for amazing customer service.

Gem Leigh

Amelia was incredibly helpful and guided us through the booking process. Nothing was too much trouble, and upon completing our booking, we received a box of chocolates that was greatly appreciated.

Abi Jenkins

I’ve visited Flitch Travel a few times, and Amelia has been exceptionally kind and helpful. I will definitely be using Flitch Travel for all my flights. My daughter has booked flights with you as well on my recommendation. I’ve also shared with many friends what a great service you provide.

Janet Jaggs

Extremely helpful, sourced the exact holiday I wanted. 

Made the process easy...

Tracy Williams

Flitch travel booked our honeymoon 3 years ago which was amazing and no other holiday lived up to it... until now. Shandrani beachcomber hotel, Mauritius was incredible. We were looked after so thoroughly. All the staff were incredibly welcoming, couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you so much for booking such a wonderful holiday, can’t wait to go back!

Claire Katie Eastaugh

Very friendly and understanding. We had a detailed set of requirements which Flitch managed in a way that made us feel that an individual plan was being made.

Sharon

A big thank you to Rebecca of Flitch Travel, I went in not really knowing where to go for my family holiday, I gave her my requirements, she ran through the pro’s and con’s of various options and I opted for Turkey. Now returned from an amazing time my family and I had at the Resort we chose, I look forward to dealing with her again for my next holiday experience.
