Curated by SEANSES: The Indian Ocean Boutique Travel Agency
This August, we celebrate three Indian Ocean resorts where luxury is redefined through exclusivity, design, and immersive island living. Whether you’re planning a late-summer escape or seeking inspiration for your next tailored holiday, these destinations stand out for their setting, service, and soul.
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
Raa Atoll, Maldives
Nestled in one of the Maldives’ most unspoiled atolls, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers a serene retreat surrounded by brilliant coral reefs and crystal-clear waters.
Each beach, lagoon, or overwater villa is designed to create a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, complete with private pools, warm natural textures, and expansive decks.
Exclusive to the island is the Club InterContinental® experience, offering all-day refreshments, personalised service, and refined privacy.
Wellness seekers will appreciate the AVI Spa, suspended over the ocean, while marine lovers can swim alongside manta rays at one of the Maldives’ only year-round sanctuaries.
SEANSES Recommends: Time your stay between August and November to witness the majestic manta rays in their natural habitat – an unforgettable encounter few resorts can offer.
Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island
North Malé Atoll, Maldives
Bold, modern, and effortlessly glamorous, Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island breaks from tradition with its sleek architectural villas, rooftop lounges, and design-led interiors.
The resort’s location in North Malé Atoll makes it perfect for a quick yet luxurious escape – just a 45-minute speedboat transfer from the international airport.
Each villa, whether overwater or beachfront, offers high levels of privacy, oversized pools, and panoramic sea views.
Guests can enjoy cinematic movie nights under the stars, sunrise yoga, and exceptional dining led by Jumeirah’s award-winning culinary teams.
SEANSES Loves: The rooftop terraces in every villa – perfect for sunset cocktails or stargazing in style.
Shangri-La Le Touessrok Mauritius
Trou d’Eau Douce, Mauritius
A legendary address on the east coast of Mauritius, Shangri-La Le Touessrok combines tropical elegance with a touch of heritage.
This sophisticated resort is spread across lush gardens and white sand beaches, offering stunning views of the turquoise lagoon and access to two unique islands: Ilot Mangénie, a private island for resort guests, and Île aux Cerfs, home to an 18-hole championship golf course.
The resort’s Frangipani Wing delivers a heightened level of luxury with oceanfront suites, exclusive privileges, and butler service.
From wellness rituals to romantic beachfront dinners and family adventures, this is island living elevated.
SEANSES Suggests: Charter a private boat to Ilot Mangénie for a castaway lunch surrounded by nature – an experience found only at Le Touessrok.
