From a fresh Maldivian hideaway to a naturally spacious Baa Atoll retreat and the tropical energy of Mauritius, this month’s selection brings together three very different expressions of island life.
SEANSES presents a curated selection of Indian Ocean escapes for the month ahead: RAH GILI MALDIVES, Amilla Maldives and LUX* Grand Gaube. Each has its own character — whether the priority is discovering somewhere new, slowing down in nature or enjoying a more energetic resort experience.
RAH GILI MALDIVES
A New Perspective on the Maldives
Set in South Malé Atoll, RAH GILI MALDIVES brings a fresh addition to the Maldivian resort scene. Surrounded by clear lagoon waters and tropical landscapes, the resort pairs contemporary island living with the sense of freedom and privacy that makes the Maldives such an enduring escape.
Life here naturally gravitates towards the ocean. Snorkelling offers an opportunity to discover the marine world surrounding the island, while days can unfold between time on the beach, adventures on the water and unhurried moments overlooking the lagoon.
For a slower change of pace, wellness and spa experiences create space to switch off and reconnect. The relaxed island setting makes it easy to move between active days and quieter moments, without feeling tied to a schedule.
Families are equally part of the experience, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the destination together. Combining a fresh outlook, beautiful surroundings and an easy-going atmosphere, RAH GILI MALDIVES is an appealing choice for travellers ready to discover a newer side of the Maldives.
Amilla Maldives
Space to Experience Baa Atoll Your Way
Located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Amilla Maldives is shaped by space, nature and an unusually relaxed approach to luxury. Its lush island setting and surrounding lagoon create a retreat where the natural environment remains very much at the heart of the stay.
The resort’s villas and residences offer different ways to experience the island, from stays poised above the water to private hideaways surrounded by tropical greenery. Generous spaces and a strong sense of privacy make Amilla particularly well suited to both couples and families.
The surrounding Baa Atoll is also a natural playground for ocean exploration. Scuba diving and marine experiences reveal another side of the destination, while back on the island, wellness provides a quieter way to spend the day and embrace a slower rhythm.
Family experiences add another dimension, allowing different generations to enjoy the island in their own way. Rather than defining what a Maldivian holiday should look like, Amilla gives guests the freedom to create one around what matters most to them.
LUX* Grand Gaube
Mauritius with a Playful Spirit
On the north coast of Mauritius, LUX* Grand Gaube brings a lively, contemporary character to its tropical surroundings. Framed by lush gardens, calm coves and views across the Indian Ocean, the resort feels relaxed while still offering plenty to discover throughout a stay.
Days here can be as leisurely or as active as guests choose. Time beside the ocean can be balanced with resort experiences, exploring the surroundings or simply finding a quiet corner beneath the palms and enjoying the slower pace of island life.
Wellness is another part of the experience, offering time to recharge between days in the sun. Couples can embrace the resort’s romantic side, while its varied spaces and activities make it equally inviting for families travelling together.
For honeymooners in particular, LUX* Grand Gaube combines a beautiful island setting with the variety that makes a longer stay feel effortless. Warm, colourful and full of character, it offers a distinctly Mauritian interpretation of an Indian Ocean escape.
Three Islands, Three Different Moods
Whether the plan centres around snorkelling, diving, wellness, family time or simply finding somewhere beautiful to switch off, each offers its own reason to travel.
