EXPERIENCES YOU’LL LOVE

The best part of any journey is the experiences you have along the way, leaving you with memories to relive long after the holiday is over. The Indian Ocean has countless amazing things to see and do. Here are five of our favourites to inspire your wanderlust.

Maldives

SURFING

BEAUTIFUL BEACHES

The vast warm waters of the Indian Ocean are home to some of the most incredible surfing spots in the world. From surf schools to seaplane surfing safaris, the Maldives caters to all types of surfers. Some of the most gnarly surf breaks are Chickens and Cokes in the Malé Atoll, while Yin Yang in the Laamu Atoll is world renowned. Sri Lanka’s south west coast is the place to catch a wave, with Mirissa and Unawatuna offering some epic tubes. Surf’s up year round in the Indian Ocean but the biggest swells arrive between April and October.

There is no shortage of Indian Ocean beaches on which to soak up the sunshine. Stroll along the pristine beaches of the Maldives or just sit under a swaying palm tree and feel the sand between your toes. Visit one of the best beaches in the Seychelles, stunning Anse Lazio on Praslin Island. The incredible mix of turquoise water, white sand and granite boulder formations make it perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Sri Lanka’s sun-kissed coastline is ideal for a beach holiday. Be sure to visit Bentota for calm waters, golden sands and watersports.

Golden Temple of Dambulla, Sri Lanka

CULTURAL SITES Sri Lanka has a rich culture with no less than six UNESCO Word Heritage Sites in the country. Visit the sacred city of Kandy to see the golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth, housing Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic. Marvel at the golden temple of Dambulla and the enigmatic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya, perhaps the single most dramatic sight in the country. Include Galle on your itinerary to see Galle Fort, the fortified old city with its car-free streets and stone sea walls. In Polonnaruwa you can visit tombs, temples and stupas over 800 years old.

Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

Take in the stunning ocean vistas from the shaded comfort of a private cabana in the Maldives

WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS

SNORKELLING & DIVING

Discover the wild side of Sri Lanka in one of the country’s national parks. Yala National Park is a vast expanse of grasslands and forest where you can find elephants, sloth bears and 215 species of birds. The park is also famous for being home to the majestic leopard and the best way to see them up close is on a wildlife safari. Minneriya National Park is where you’ll see the country’s iconic elephants. Visit between May and October to witness the famous Elephant Gathering, where elephants from small herds gather to feed on the lush grass.

Grab your snorkel and fins and discover what lies beneath! You’ll find great snorkelling and diving sites in each atoll of the Maldives. Snorkel straight from your resort’s beach to see colourful coral, or venture further afield in search of big fish. Blue Bay Marine Park in Mauritius is home to lively marine life and colourful coral. With clear water and a depth of six metres it is a great place for beginners. In Seychelles, Sainte Anne Marine National Park is well known for snorkelling. Find plenty of colourful fish as well as Green and Hawksbill turtles.

MALDIVES The Maldives is home to over 1190 coral islands, each boasting secluded white sand beaches, crystal clear lagoons, magical sunsets and luxury resorts. It truly is a tropical paradise.

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

CORAL REEFS

OVERWATER VILLAS

With unique coral reefs, a great diversity of marine life and deep blue water, it’s easy to see why the Maldives is regarded as one of the best snorkelling and diving locations in the world. Swim alongside colourful reef fish and keep an eye out for turtles and Manta rays. Stay at a resort with a house reef and snorkel straight from the beach.

Imagine falling asleep to the sound of water lapping against the stilts of your villa. Or diving into the turquoise lagoon straight from the deck of your room. For a truly indulgent experience choose to stay in an overwater villa and wake up each day to ocean views right on your doorstep. Overwater villas are available at most resorts in the Maldives.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

WATERSPORTS

The Maldives serves up an array of unique experiences. Enjoy an intimate dinner under a glass arch of swimming sea life, in an all-glass underwater restaurant. Take off in a seaplane to find the best coral reef surf breaks. Discover the Maldivian marine life on a ride in a semi-submarine or rent your own private island – even if it’s just for an hour. The opportunities are endless!

Hanifaru Bay

With water as far as the eye can see there’s no wonder watersports are one of the number one things to do in the Maldives. The calm lagoon waters are perfect for kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding. Adventure seekers will love the thrill of jet skis, water skis and flyboards. While both beginner and experienced surfers are sure to find the perfect wave.

LA DIGUE

SNORKELLING SITES

For a relaxed island vibe, gorgeous beaches and a lush jungle interior, take a day trip to La Digue. The island is home to some of the most unspoiled beaches including picturesque Anse Source d’Argent. With its brilliant white sands, large granite boulders and swaying coconut trees, it’s undeniably striking. There are very few cars on the island, so hire a bicycle and start exploring.

You’ll be spoilt for choice with the numerous reefs dotted throughout the Seychelles. Try Anse Soleil on Mahé for untouched coral beds and a rich variety of undersea life. The crystal clear water at Anse Lazio on Praslin allows for great visibility. Make sure to look out for turtles and rays as you swim. For an off-thebeaten track snorkelling site, try Coco Island Marine Park, seven kilometres north of La Digue.

Nuwara Eliya

Dambulla Cave Temple

Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo is a jarring mix of old and new, where high-rises overshadow red-tiled colonialera buildings. Uncover the sights and sounds of this bustling city on a tuk-tuk tour. Visit one of the most respected temples in the country, Gangaramaya Vihara and taste the flavours of Sri Lanka at a local market. South of the city are the beautiful golden sands of Bentota and the laidback resort town of Kalutara.

SOUTH COAST Sun, sea, sand – the south coast delivers countless palm-fringed beaches. From Galle to Hambantota, expect to find chic boutique hotels, sumptuous seafood, colourful coral reefs and welcoming waters. A contrast to the coastal scenery are the wetlands, grasslands and forests of Bundala and Yala national parks. The star attraction at Bundala is the Greater flamingo while Yala boasts the majestic leopard.

KANDY & HILL COUNTRY

CULTURAL TRIANGLE

The scenic city of Kandy lies amid mist-covered hills. See the colonial-era architecture and the Buddhist shrine, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Venture out of Kandy and be awed by the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka’s countryside. Explore picturesque villages set among rolling green tea plantations stretching as far as the eye can see. Visit a tea estate and discover how the aromatic Ceylon tea is grown.

The Cultural Triangle spans the countryside of Sri Lanka. Its points are marked by the island’s three historic capitals – Kandy, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. There are many wonderful sites and stunning landmarks to uncover. Take in the crumbling temples and architectural wonders of the ancient cities, marvel at the 200 metre high rock citadel of Sigiriya and look out for wildlife in the national parks.
