Travel Tips & Advice for Indian Ocean Holidays

Indian Ocean Activities

The Indian Ocean region is ideal if you just want to relax and do nothing much at all thanks to the seemingly endless stretches of beautiful beaches. This also means there is no shortage of sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling to enjoy. However, don't just stick to the beach or the resort poolside, head out into the populated areas to catch a glimpse of local life on the island, book a guided tour through one of the stunning vegetated areas or plan an epic hike on one of the many trails. The Copolia Trail in the Victoria area of Seychelles is a popular choice or sign up for a days hike to Ella Rock, 1,000 metres above sea level with stunning views once you reach the top.

Indian Ocean Food & Drink

Wherever you choose to take your holiday, you'll enjoy a whole new world of mouthwatering cuisine every single day. Sri Lanka's coconut milk infused curries are a favourite for many while seafood lovers can tuck into dishes of freshly caught fish and shellfish while holidaying in Mauritius. For those who opt for a holiday in the Maldives, you can dine on the likes of deep-fried fish cakes or bajiya (a soft pastry stuffed with fish, onion and coconut) and then wash it all down with raa which is tapped from palm tree trunks. Our range of resorts across these locations also provide a plentiful array of dishes from various cuisines to satisfy all tastes and needs. Indulge in buffet-style breakfasts and themed dinners or enjoy a sunset barbecue once a week at some of these luxury resorts.

Indian Ocean Attractions

Depending on where you choose to stay, you'll find a range of attractions to enjoy should you fancy a day outside of your resort. Whether it be the ancient ruins of the Sigiriya Fortress in Sri Lanka or marvelling at the giant tortoises on Curiese during your stay in Seychelles there's so much to see and do. Marianne Rock in the Seychelles is another tourist hotspot for those who love nothing more than snapping on a snorkel mask and catching a glimpse of the underwater world. Of course, many choose an Indian Ocean holiday to take advantage of the plentiful sunshine and gorgeous coastlines available in these far-flung destinations so opt for a resort close to the beach and you'll be set for your whole holiday.
