Indian Ocean Holidays

The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean on the planet and is home to some of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world. Mauritius, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Kerala and Goa are all located in the azure warm waters of the Indian Ocean and offer scenic white sand beaches in an idyllic tropical paradise. Luxury, relaxation and tranquil beach holidays are part of the experience of an Indian Ocean beach holiday and visitors travel from around the world to relax on the sun kissed shores of these exotic locations.

Islands in the Indian Ocean offer a diverse range of holiday experiences. The flamboyant and lively North Goa offers a completely different holiday experience from the remote and enchanting Maldives, where each tiny island is one resort and you really can escape to a desert island. Powdery white sands and tropical palm and coconut trees along the untouched beaches create a beautiful image beside the sparkling crystalline waters lapping at the shores and the clear water offers the best diving opportunities in the world, as an underwater paradise awaits divers. The biggest unmarred coral reef surrounds the enchanting island of Mauritius and the heavenly beaches of the Seychelles offer the perfect beach holiday.

Holidays in the Indian Ocean are a popular choice for romantic escapes, due to the perfect scenery and tranquil paradise environment. With all year round sunshine and some of the best under water pursuits available, Indian Ocean holidays offer visitors a dream holiday experience.
