Mauritius
This far-flung jewel of the Indian Ocean captivates with an intoxicating mix of powder-white beaches, sapphire-blue waters, stunning wildlife, first-class resorts and worldly cuisine. Relatively large in size, the island caters to adventure seekers, foodies, beachcombers, birdwatchers and hammock-dwellers alike.
Seychelles
The Seychelles’ 115 islands paint a vibrant masterwork of azure waters, white sands and verdant mountains. A diverse wealth of marine and birdlife inhabits this “Galápagos of the Indian Ocean”. Divers and snorkelers flock to the Seychelles’ vast atolls — coral wonderlands spanning some 35 kilometres.
Zanzibar
The Zanzibar archipelago is East Africa’s most romantic Arabianesque indulgence. Loll on silver-white sands, try a reef safari, dip into shallow-turquoise lagoons, explore the alleyways, wooden doors, fortresses, and minarets of World Heritage-listed Stone Town, and view an exquisite sunset over the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Mozambique
This Robinson Crusoe pearl in the southeast of Africa has a coastline stretching over 2,000 kilometres and some of the finest beaches on the Indian Ocean. With turquoise seas abounding in vibrant fish, wellpreserved corals, remote archipelagos and white-sailed dhows plying calm waters, it also features charming colonial-style architecture, vast swathes of bush and an exuberant cultural character.
