Private Ocean Islands is here for you
If you’re planning a luxury vacation in the Indian Ocean islands, there’s only one name you need to know: Private Ocean Islands. We’re a specialist island destination management company based in South Africa, and we’re here to ensure that you enjoy a picture-perfect tropical paradise experience.
Here’s why you should choose Private Ocean Islands for your luxury island vacation…
We know islands
With over 40 years’ experience in creating tailormade Indian Ocean itineraries, we know more than almost anyone else about luxury travel to the islands between Africa and Asia. We keep our fingers on the pulse of all the latest developments, including new and refurbished properties and the latest trends in travel, including barefoot luxury and sustainable island vacations.
Our network spans an ocean
Over the years, Private Ocean Islands has built up an outstanding collection of contacts in every destination that we recommend. This gives us unparalleled access to not just the latest facts, but also insider tips that can take your island trip to the next level. Thanks to the people we know, we’re able to unlock unique experiences and stunning accommodation options that simply wouldn’t be available otherwise.
Whether you’re on honeymoon or enjoying some multigenerational travel, we can help you create lifelong memories.
We’re passionate about what we do
Ask any member of the Private Ocean Islands team and they’ll tell you that for us, this isn’t work. We don’t create bespoke Indian Ocean itineraries because we have to; we do it because of our deep, abiding love for Zanzibar, Seychelles, Madagascar, Mauritius, the Maldives and the coastline and islands of Mozambique, and because we want you to have the best possible experience of this amazing region.
We’ll channel this passion – plus all of our expertise – into designing an itinerary that’s as unique as you are… an itinerary that lets you experience the Indian Ocean islands in ways that are authentic, luxurious and genuinely unforgettable.
We’re linked to Journey Beyond
Through our sister company Journey Beyond, the Private Ocean Islands team can tap into decades of experience and expertise concerning Africa’s top safari destinations, including Kenya, Botswana and our own home country of South Africa. This connection opens up an almost infinite array of possibilities, including opportunities to combine an island vacation with time on safari – the ultimate blend of relaxation and adrenaline.
We can seamlessly link different experiences using private charters to minimize travel time, and maximize your time on the beach.
We’re available when you need us
We’re here to answer all your questions – before, during and even after you visit the Indian Ocean. Outside of office hours, our emergency service means that an experienced journey specialist is always available.
