I was lucky  to grow up in the  Maldives and Sri Lanka and still count those countries as home. With early family visits to Mauritius and Seychelles, it has forever cemented a love of the Indian Ocean and its people.

This has fostered a lifelong passion for all things over and under water, especially diving and windsurfing as well as a general love of adventure and the exploring of unknown destinations. I am very happy that we are now able to give something back to these countries.

Insider Tip: Fit in some Maldives culture it is untouched and unknown

I have been travelling to the Indian Ocean for over thirty years and my fascination for these destinations remains undimmed. The beauty of Sri Lankan hill country and staying at the Tea Trails is a particular highlight, as is surfing in the Maldives which is a new found love affair I never tire of despite spending more time under the water than over it. The ability of these destinations to remain fresh and at the forefront of luxury travel shows no sign of waning and it is an exciting time to be part of it.
