The shortest flights and the least paperwork we sell.
Six island nations off India's own coastline, most of them reachable in a few hours with little more than a passport.
Six islands, and no two of them do the same thing.
The Maldives is one resort to an island and a seaplane to reach it. Sri Lanka is barely a flight at all, and none of it is a beach holiday until the last three days. Mauritius has temples in the villages and Bhojpuri spoken on the beach. The Seychelles put granite boulders where everyone else has coral. Madagascar broke away eighty-eight million years ago and grew things found nowhere else. Closest of everything we sell, and the easiest to get into.

Four nights, seven, or the full fortnight.
Some of these are a long weekend from Kochi. Others need two weeks and a plan. Start with how much leave you have.
The easiest region to book badly.
Every island looks the same in a photograph and prices vary by a factor of ten across the same lagoon. Knowing which resort earns its rate is most of the job.
20 Years of Experience
Two decades of island bookings out of Kerala, and we know which properties disappoint.
Closest Long Haul We Run
Short flights, minimal jet lag, and most of these need little or no visa.
Resorts Matched to Budget
Guesthouse, mid-range or overwater villa. All three sit on the same water.
All-Inclusive Pricing
Seaplane and speedboat transfers, taxes and meal plans. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Transfers Booked Ahead
Seaplanes fly by daylight only, so the flight time decides the island.
Dedicated Support
A Fortune tour manager on group departures, and our team reachable throughout.
Four ways to take the same ocean.
Overwater, granite, tea country or wildlife. Say which and the shortlist writes itself.

ReadTwo detours that change the trip.
Ganga Talao, Mauritius
Curepipe + Grand Bassin + Chamarel. A crater lake holding water from the Ganges, a Shiva statue at the gate, and coloured earth further down the road.
The Hill Country, Sri Lanka
Kandy + Nuwara Eliya + Ella. Tea estates on every slope, a train that takes seven hours to cover very little ground, and nobody in a hurry.
What travellers bring back from the islands.
Rarely the villa. A reef morning that went quiet, a meal in the wrong place at the right time, and the boat crossing nobody photographed.
