Our favourite Mozambique lodge of all - a wonderful blend of six-star luxury and laid-back island style offering sensational dining experiences and gorgeous thatched rooms (all with private plunge pools!) lying literally on the endless beach. Simply very, very cool and vibey!

Quite simply THE best way to experience the magic of the greater Nosy Be Archipelago – whether you're snorkelling, fishing, swimming or just cruising - so many of our guests report back that it was their "best holiday ever!"

“Zanzibar meets the Maldives” – this small island off historical Stone Town boasts 70 hugely spacious and luxurious suites (all with private pools!) including 8 gorgeous over-water villas of the type commonly associated with the Maldives!

Perched on a forest covered hillside above the beautiful bay of Anse Bois de Rose in the tranquil and undeveloped south-east corner of Praslin, the Coco de Mer offers perhaps the best value for money of all the Praslin resorts.

The 111 lovely villas of the Niva Labriz lie stretched along a mile-long white-sand beach on the largely unspoiled Silhouette Island, with its imposing backdrop of densely forested mountain peaks - an excellent family-friendly option, perfect whether you want to explore or just chill!

Surrounded by perfect white sand beaches and a crystal clear aquamarine lagoon in the unspoilt Meemu Atoll, Medhufushi with its understated sophistication and luxury and many watersports is perfect for honeymooners and couples as well as more active holidaymakers!

Gorgeous new boutique hotel of 40 chalets (12 of them boasting their own private plunge pools!) sprawled on a hillside overlooking a picturesque bay complete with white sand beach on the northern shore of Mahé.

Filitheyo is the perfect place for a fantastically relaxing Maldives holiday - a superb house reef and sandy beaches; comfortable accommodation; exceptionally friendly service and consistently excellent food – all of this and reasonable prices too!

A long established favourite and indisputably one of the top hotels on Praslin, the L’Archipel with its 32 rooms poised above a gorgeous secluded beach also has perhaps the most authentic local character.

Gorgeous 56 villa resort (16 of them with stunning private plunge pools!) tucked away amidst a densely forested mountainside above a couple of lovely little coves on Mahe's beautiful north-west coast. All Inclusive option also available!

Gorgeously unspoiled natural island feel with sandy paths leading through the tropical forest to superb sandy beaches - Reethi Beach remains a top choice amongst mid-range resorts with many repeat guests. Excellent snorkelling!

With just 9 stylish bungalows this wonderfully intimate beach lodge on the charmingly time-warped island of Mafia is the perfect place to escape for a romantic break or for world class scuba diving!

A stunning location - including a choice of 2 excellent beaches - a host of different activities, wide variety of restaurants and luxurious accommodation options make the Constance Ephelia perhaps the best choice for families holidaying in the Seychelles!

This has to be the perfect honeymoon hideaway – the Black Parrot Suites are 12 exclusive and luxurious rooms perched spectacularly on a rocky headland overlooking a bay peppered with picturesque sandy coves.

An old favourite of South African travellers which closed after a fire back in 2012, this lodge on the south-west of Benguerra re-opened under the Azura banner in mid-2025, delivering all the things that Azura is famed for: stylish luxury, superb personal service and wonderful dining experiences to name just a few!

A real contender for the most stylish and upmarket beach lodge in Madagascar! If you're in search of a truly intimate and romantic retreat, then these 8 bungalows perched above a lovely sandy beach on beautiful Nosy Komba come highly recommended for honeymooners and romantics!

Of the 3 main islands in the Seychelles, La Digue is definitely our favourite! With great beaches and a blissfully laidback atmosphere the only thing missing was somewhere really upmarket to stay – thank goodness then that the superbly stylish Le Domaine de l'Orangeraie opened its doors!

Whilst the Maldives is generally a great destination for couples, Veligandu is perhaps our favourite resort of all for couples looking for a honeymoon or romantic break - especially since the stylish renovation it received in 2024 which saw the introduction of gorgeous over-water villas with private swimming pools!
