The Indian Ocean is home to some of the world’s most beautiful islands, with crystal clear waters, white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs. But there is much more to this region than just beaches. A multi centre holiday allows you to make the most of your long haul trip by combining paradise islands with other fascinating destinations. You might pair the culture and wildlife of Sri Lanka with a luxury Maldives escape, or break up the long flight with a stop in the Middle East, where you can enjoy world class entertainment in ultra modern cities. Whatever you choose for your itinerary, an Indian Ocean multi centre offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
If you love the idea of idyllic beaches but want a little more adventure, a multi centre holiday gives you the chance to combine two or three paradise islands and tick more destinations off your bucket list. For those who want to blend wildlife with relaxation, Sri Lanka is the perfect place to start before heading to your chosen island retreat. Or, if you are dreaming of a city and beach twin centre, the possibilities are endless, with Europe, the Middle East and the Far East all offering exciting cities to pair with your Indian Ocean escape. However you want to travel, we can help design a tailor made itinerary that is perfect for you.
The Indian Ocean offers far more than just beaches. In Sri Lanka you can spot elephants and leopards on safari, explore ancient temples and soak up the island’s rich culture. In the Maldives you can spend your days on powder soft sands or enjoy world class diving and water sports. Mauritius and the Seychelles not only deliver perfect beaches but also a taste of local culture. Then there’s all the other countries you can combine with the Indian Ocean. With so much variety, an Indian Ocean multi centre holiday can be as adventurous or as relaxing as you choose.
The region covers a wide area, so the best months to visit depends on where you are heading, especially Sri Lanka which varies down to which coast your visiting, so the ideal time comes down to your itinerary. Generally, December to April brings warm, dry weather to many islands, while May to November can be wetter but often better value. However, speak to our team and we can guide you to the best option for your trip.
The choice is almost endless. Popular options include Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which work perfectly as stopovers en route to the islands. If you are looking to tick off a Far East bucket list destination, Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok are also favourites. Many European cities make great combinations too, such as Amsterdam, Paris or Vienna. Whatever your interests, we can help design a multi centre holiday tailored to you.

Once again 5* brilliance
I spoke with Matt, who was amazing. I told him what I was looking for, and he sent me the quote which was exactly what I had in mind. The booking process was very straightforward and the service so far has been excellent.
Kadie at eShores is really helpful and responds to enquiries really quickly. We used them for a trip to Turkey in 2025, all tranfers went smoothly and the chosen hotels were lovely and of good value. I defintely recomend them
Claire has been very helpful and knowledgeable dealing with our recent enquiry and booking ..she has returned my phone calls as promised and I know I am able to contact her if the need arises ..which it probably will between now and our holiday in Jan '27 😊
Nick was very patient and helpful in finding me the perfect properties for my trip. He was always contactable and kept me up to date with everything. Thank you.

We enquired about a trip to Thailand for November 2026 and we had a phone from Matthew….. wow, what can we say, he was so knowledgeable and gave us some of his experiences over there.

Exceptional Service from eShores — Dave Went Above and Beyond We recently booked our holiday through eShores, and working with Dave made the entire experience outstanding. His knowledge of our chosen destination was second to none — every suggestion he made felt thoughtful, well‑researched, and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. What really…
Excellent prompt service from Nick and his associates, adaptable to our needs and budget.
Always great service and every holiday we have booked Dave has been so patient and understanding of what we wanted from each trip.
Although my holiday is still some months in the future, the services provided by eShores (Dave Felton) have been exemplary. I never, ever use travel agents or intermediaries for holidays but a potential business class trip to Lombok and Bali presented new challenges in not knowing those islands. I laid out my general requirements and…
Great service prompt and great deal
