The Collection — Indian Ocean

Reef, atoll, and
the odd private island.

Seychelles granite coves, Maldivian overwater villas, Mauritius's volcanic coastline, Sri Lanka's tea country — the collection that closes a safari, or opens a honeymoon.

Almost entirely beach, and almost entirely private.

Of everywhere we work, this is the region with the least variation in kind — nearly every property here is a beach or island resort, and a large share of them are private-island in structure. What varies instead is the water and the coastline it sits on.

The Seychelles properties — Raffles, Constance Lemuria, Six Senses Zil Pasyon — sit among granite boulders and genuinely private coves, some reachable only by boat or light aircraft. The Maldives properties are almost all overwater or beach villa, built around a single reef and a single atoll. Mauritius runs slightly more varied, from Le Morne's kitesurfing coastline to the calmer east coast at Belle Mare.

Sri Lanka is the outlier — Ceylon Tea Trails sits in hill-country tea estates rather than on a beach, and Cape Weligama looks out over the island's south coast surf breaks rather than a lagoon. Zanzibar's Mnemba Island Lodge closes the collection, a nine-suite private island off the country's own northeast coast.

Private Island, Mostly

A large share of this collection is private-island or exclusive-beach in structure — Mnemba, Bawah-adjacent atolls, Zil Pasyon among them.

Four Countries

Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius and Sri Lanka, plus Zanzibar off the East African coast — reef and atoll throughout.

The Safari Finish

Most often booked as the final leg of a longer East African itinerary — the beach after the bush.

Honeymoon-Heavy

Overwater villas and private coves make this the most-booked region for honeymoons and anniversaries in the collection.
