A remote tropical and pristine island off the east coast of Africa, untouched by mass tourism. Home to compassion, simplicity and time. In this tranquil and beautiful corner of the world you’ll be able to fully enjoy the company of each other. Undisturbed by anything but the disconnected joy of the present and the untroubled peaceful atmosphere that dreams are made of. If you are interested in marine excursions, the Indian Ocean floor is hard to beat. Many of its islands and atolls are protected by a coral barrier that creates lagoons of emerald water, perfect for snorkeling. On the other side of the reef, more experienced divers can find underwater landscapes that will take your breath away. With a tropical climate, the water temperature never drops below 22ºC, which means almost any time of the year is good for diving. The visibility exceeds 40 metres at some dive sites, so you can even give yourself the luxury of going on a night dive. Put on your fins and enjoy the action!
