The idyllic islands of the Indian Ocean are very special indeed, offering privacy and seclusion with sparkling waters, and span clear depths thriving with wild sea life and stunning coral reefs. Met by coral sands and dappled by the shade of palms, this is the realm of ultimate holiday dreams.

This ancient and most historic of oceans, around which the earliest of the world's civilisations developed, is now a destination for its own sake. Whether it is the history of the Swahili coast and promise of inland safaris that draws you to this place, or the Creole character and hedonistic luxury of the Seychelles, it may be the five-starred ease and finesse of Mauritius that attracts, or the groundbreaking new island hideaways of Mozambique; whatever brings you to the Indian Ocean, you can be assured of clear, warm seas, wildlife and dazzling memories.

The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's oceanic divisions, covering about 20% of the Earth's water surface. It is bounded on the north by Asia, on the west by Africa, on the east by the Malay Peninsula, the Sunda Islands, and Australia; and on the south by the Southern Ocean. This ocean is nearly 10,000 kilometres wide at the southern tips of Africa and Australia; its area is 73,556,000 square kilometres, including the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
