Luxury Shores, Island Adventures

It’s all too easy to talk about pearly white sands and twinkling azures, but finding the right beach holiday for you will make your holiday so much more memorable.

At Skanda, we approach beach holidays differently because we know they mean something different to everyone. Whether that’s waking to a sunrise above a turquoise lagoon in the Maldives, discovering the cultural richness of Mauritius, or finding a secluded stretch of sand far from the crowds, our itineraries are shaped by your desires.

In the Maldives, a beach holiday could mean encountering dolphins and sharks swimming in their natural habitat, retreating to a spectacular overwater villa, or trusting us to find the best place to watch the sunset from a traditional wooden dhoni. A Mauritius beach holiday might combine white-sand beaches and the lagoon waters of Île aux Cerfs with the colourful markets of Port Louis and the volcanic landscape of Trou aux Cerfs.

In the Seychelles, you’ll encounter extraordinary beauty above and below the water, from the granite-framed shores of Anse Lazio to vibrant coral gardens and wildlife encounters with Aldabra giant tortoises. Amongst the scents of cloves and nuts in Zanzibar, you might combine time on idyllic beaches with Stone Town’s heritage or the wildlife of Jozani Forest with encounters with marine life at Mnemba Island.

And a Bali beach holiday might take you from the sunset Kecak Fire Dance at Uluwatu Temple to the blue waters of Manta Bay, where you can swim alongside majestic manta rays.

However you like to travel, our tailor-made journeys combine expert knowledge and hand-picked luxury travel experiences to create bespoke beach escapes defined by you.
