Indian Ocean: a tropical dream shaped by ActivTours®

In the heart of the planet, between the shores of Africa and Asia, unfolds a world where time moves differently: the Indian Ocean. A realm of calm and color, turquoise waters and islands sculpted by nature. Under the steady light of the tropics, life is lived slowly and elegantly, and each day becomes a story to remember. For passionate travelers, the Indian Ocean is more than a destination — it is a promise of natural perfection, genuine hospitality and a rare balance between luxury, refinement and simplicity.

The world’s most desired islands — Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Sri Lanka, Madagascar — are gathered here, united by a tropical spirit and the art of detail. It’s no coincidence that honeymoons so often lead to the Indian Ocean: from overwater villas and eco-luxury resorts to hidden lagoons and powder-white beaches, every place holds a very specific magic. In many cases, a 5★ stay here can be 30–40% more accessible than comparable experiences in the Caribbean or Pacific, with the same level of comfort, wellness retreats and private inter-island cruises.

What makes the Indian Ocean unique is not just the scenery but its soothing, restorative energy. It is ideal for couples, explorers, families and nature lovers. Dive among coral gardens in Maldives, hike mystical tea trails in Sri Lanka, walk barefoot on Zanzibar’s beaches or follow the scent of vanilla in Madagascar. Each island has a distinct personality: Mauritius for sophisticated living, Seychelles for intimacy, Sri Lanka for cultural depth.

With ActivTours®, the Indian Ocean becomes a concept, not merely a place. Through the MARÉA collection, every holiday is crafted as a tailor-made journey: personalized itineraries, flexible flights, authentic experiences and human assistance 24/7. Every detail is designed for equilibrium — discreet luxury, sincere emotion, total peace of mind. Our team partners with leading resorts, boutique hotels, premium airlines and expert local guides who translate island rhythm into lasting memories.

The Indian Ocean is for those who believe travel should be felt, not just booked. It is for those who know perfection isn’t found — it is created. ActivTours® turns each journey into a carefully written story where every wave brings inspiration, every sunset means calm, and every moment carries your signature.

This is where travel becomes art. And art, in the ActivTours® vision, means emotion, elegance and harmony. Explore below the experiences from the MARÉA collection — conceived for you, so that your holiday becomes the place where dream meets reality: at the heart of the Indian Ocean.
