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.
GET IN TOUCHThe Maldives consists of over 1000 island, 200 of these are inhabited and 100 of these are luxury resorts, giving you plenty of choice for your dream island holiday.
You will arrive on the main island of Male and your first adventure is getting to your private island - choose to travel 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 sea.
Mauritius is one island, much larger 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.
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.
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!
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.
