The Indian Ocean Imagine tropical islands drenched in year round sunshine and surrounded by warm seas – the Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, The Maldives, The Seychelles and Sri Lanka provide contrasting experiences for all beach lovers. Mauritius is a cosmopolitan mix of cultures, with top-class hotels on white sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs and clear waters. The Maldives is a collection of small coral atolls, reached only by boat or seaplane from the main airport. These one-resort islands offer travellers true escapism from modern life with a variety of resort standards to choose from. Divers and keen snorkellers will love the surrounding coral reefs that teem with colourful fish and exciting marine life. The Seychelles is a contrasting archipelago of islands with stunning scenery and unspoilt beaches defined by large granite rocks. This is a destination to really spoil yourself for that special occasion. With miles of unspoilt palm-fringed beaches, Sri Lanka can satisfy that need for unwinding and relaxation, together with a variety of attractions to visit, with many UNESCO World Heritage and religious sites and temples, national parks and tea plantations.
