LOOKING FOR PARADISE ?
Embrace The Natural Beauty Of Africa And The Indian Ocean
Mauritius
The original beach paradise
Dreaming of powder-white sand, swirling sapphire waters and a martini glass of something exotic? Then look no further than Mauritius, the Indian Ocean’s palm-fringed superpower and original beach paradise. As well as sun-lounging and cocktail-sipping, there are plenty of adventures to be had and lush tropical rainforests, spectacular steep-rising mountains and epic waterfalls cry out to be explored. If the ocean is more your thing, diving and snorkelling in pristine underwater gardens alongside kaleidoscopes of tropical fish is next-level fabulous, not forgetting the waterskiing, parasailing, kayaking, and windsurfing. Whatever happens, we guarantee that you will never be bored in Mauritius.
Maldives
There’s not a lot we can say to sum up the Maldives without sounding like another travel brochure, but put it this way – everything you’ve seen, read and heard is absolutely and completely true. Perfect circles of blonde, velvet beaches are lapped by water the colour of lapis; megawatt hotels range from marooned-island dreaminess to mind-boggling ritz, glitz and glamour; and no matter where you look, there’s a hammock to sway in and a cocktail to sip. So far, so beachy – but what else is there to know about this Indian Ocean utopia? In total, there are almost 1,200 islands in 26 atolls, scattered around 35,000 square miles of prime ocean real estate. They range in size from tiny dots of swirling sand to larger, palm-fringed masses, and every one of them is uniformly brilliant.
1,200 Indian Ocean islets that live up to every coconuts-and-beach-huts cliché – and then some.
Seychelles
115 shining islands, luxury hotels, waving palms and cotton-candy beaches? Welcome to the Seychelles.
With over 115 tiny white islands, glistening like pearls in the brilliant-turquoise Indian Ocean, the Seychelles brings a whole new meaning to the word ‘idyllic.’ Main islands Mahe and Praslin offer high-octane glamour alongside the endlessly perfect beaches, but there’s also more to the archipelago than first meets the eye. For back-to-nature experiences, try Fregate Island with its jumbo tortoises shuffling along the beach, Desroches for the profusions of wild and colourful orchids or La Digue to spot the aptly named Paradise Fly-catchers. So whether you’re looking for a sun-lounger and a cocktail on the hour, every hour or a Robinson Crusoe escapade, add the Seychelles to your list.
Zanzibar
Flaming sunsets, sandy beaches and luxe hotels are easily accessible on a classic Zanzibar getaway.
Zanzibar is a melting pot of cultures and traditions. A traditional trading point on the east African spice route, the island is famous for its vast spice farms and beautiful azure beaches. Stone Town is a bustling and unique little town with thin cobbled streets and thousands of vendors selling everything from fabrics to tasty food. There are many pristine islands surrounding Zanzibar if you are looking to disappear completely, and day trips to the bigger island of Pemba is a must. A combination of African, Arabic and eastern influences make Zanzibar a real cultural treasure.
