Holidays Indian Ocean

Thousands of islands and archipelagos are to be found in The Indian Ocean making it seem like a beautiful dot-to-dot from the sky. They are fringed by some of the world’s most spectacular reefs offering amazing diving and snorkelling. The dream of the ultimate turquoise water, white sand holiday is easily fulfilled in The Indian Ocean Islands. Palm fringed beaches are perfect places to unwind and some resorts offer a “no shoes, no news” policy where you really can remove yourself from the real world. From luxury hideaways in The Seychelles, barefoot retreats in The Maldives or chilling out in the gorgeous beach resorts of Mauritius, Blue Lizard Travel’s Indian Ocean Collection presents a wide range of Indian Ocean holidays.

The Islands of the Indian Ocean enjoy warm year-long tropical climates but between May and September it tends to be windier and rainier.
If you have your own mask/goggles and flippers take them even if you don’t want to dive, as snorkelling can be very rewarding. Same for children but do swim with your kids as rock fish are very good at disguise. Get a fish guide book before you go, Dorling Kindersley do a good one. You can get laminated cards which are useful to snorkel with. Remember UV tops when snorkelling or t-shirts and lots of cream on the face as the sun is fierce.
