Socotra Info
Wild by nature, polished by design.
Socotra feels like another world: ancient trees, open landscapes and very few ways in. Socotra Info is the independent guide that makes it possible to plan, with visas, flights and tour operators gathered in one place.

The challenge
Where to begin?
Socotra rewards those who plan well. A good trip starts with the right operator, the right flight and the right papers, and the answers were scattered across many places.
The guide had to gather them all and feel as remarkable as the place itself: beautiful to browse, calm to read and simple to use, from the first photograph to the final choice of operator.
The idea
Nature meets modernism
A guide to a wild place could easily try to look wild. We chose the opposite. A calm, modern interface steps back and gives the landscapes all the room to shine.
The contrast works both ways: the island feels wilder, and the guide feels clearer.
The identity
Rooted in the island
More than a third of Socotra's plant species grow nowhere else on earth, and its trees are what people picture first. The mark began with one of them: a single tree, pictured on the island and drawn branch by branch. It does not only stand for Socotra; it is a piece of it.
The operators
The heart of the guide
Every tap here was weighed with care. We started from the questions travellers really ask, then removed everything that stood between them and the answer. Every filter, switch and button was placed with one question in mind: how efficiently can you make your decision? On a laptop or on a phone, nothing is ever out of reach. That ease is what sets this guide apart.
The result
The island stays wild. Planning it no longer has to be. What began as scattered answers now lives in one calm place, where the landscapes make you want to go and the design quietly takes care of the rest.
