Holidays on island paradises

Those who dream of holidaying or honeymooning on a tropical island paradise will be captivated by the beauty and tranquillity of the many exotic islands dotted around the world’s seas and oceans. Mauritius, the most accessible island in the Indian Ocean, has a wealth of attractions including white sand beaches, luxury spas, golf courses, the world’s third largest coral reef and a variety of luxury hotels. The landscape and history of the Island is defined by the sugar cane plantations that still provide a major source of income. Sri Lanka, just south of India, is a small island that is big on historical attractions, holy sites and natural beauty including exotic birds, animals and marine life. Vistors to Sri Lanka will find white sandy beaches, over 100 waterfalls and a contrast between busy, bustling cities and pretty, peaceful towns. Also located in the Indian Ocean are the 115 islands of the Seychelles. Renowned for beautiful beaches and crystal-clear turquoise seas, the Seychelles has a wealth of fauna and flora including rare plants. This really is a bird watching paradise due to the huge colonies of nesting seabirds. The Maldives, located south of India, is comprised of a network of over 1,100 tiny islands. Although 200 of the islands are inhabited, just 88 have been developed as exclusive holiday resorts that are ideal for rest and relaxation, with visitors enjoying aquatic activities such as diving, snorkelling and surfing.

Bermuda, in the North Atlantic Ocean east of the United States, is famed for its ‘pink’ sand, 8 golf courses and almost year round sunshine. There are a variety of luxury hotels on the island and cruise ships often dock at Hamilton, the tiny capital city. The many coral reefs mean scuba-diving and snorkelling are popular, but other activities include horse riding and tennis. The island group of Hawaii, located in the Pacific Ocean 2,400 miles west of mainland USA, is famed for its variety of white sand and volcanic beaches, majestic mountain ranges and wealth of plant and marine life. Visitors can enjoy the excellent facilities, tropical climate and array of excursions and activities.
