The Indian Ocean Islands, off the east coast of Africa, are out of this world - an indisputable paradise on earth with luxurious resorts beside thousands of sun-kissed beaches leading to deliciously inviting turquoise seas. Africans, Indians, Europeans, and pirates have all settled here - even the now extinct dodo made its home in this timeless, tropical paradise.

Mauritius is the most visited and easy to access island, offering tropical landscapes far cheaper than the Seychelles or Tahiti. The Republic of the Seychelles is world famous for its beaches, which feature in glossy magazines and travel brochures, the Seychelles was once a refuge for buccaneering pirates and their buried treasures. Réunion is known as the 'island of adventure' because of its great hike-able mountains and a smouldering volcano, as well as splendid beaches to its credit.
